The Jamie Kennedy Experiment is a half-hour-long Americanhidden camera/practical jokereality television series that debuted in 2002 and was broadcast onThe WB. The host and star of the show isJamie Kennedy, a comedian who presented areality TV format which combinedhidden camera withsketch comedy. The show was a production of Bahr-Small Productions in association withWarner Bros. Television andBig Ticket Television and ran from January 13, 2002 until April 29, 2004.

The show's format vaguely resembled that of earlier TV shows likeCandid Camera.

In the show, Kennedy travelled across the U.S. and found people to participate in his on-camerapractical jokes ("experiments"). Usually there was at least one person who was in on the joke and the "mark" or victim of the prank (usually a friend or relative of the accomplice). Kennedy donned one of several disguises and assumed a character of his own creation to be part of the gag, often using a different voice. The mark then found him/herself in some bizarre, unbelievable situation. When it appeared that the mark had endured as much nonsense as he or she could tolerate, Kennedy delivered his punchline: "You've been X'ed!"

• "Brad "B-Rad" Gluckman" – A skit where Jamie portrayed a stereotypicalwhite rapper, often trying to convince the mark to let him stay at his/her house. The "B-Rad" character was later spun off into a movie,Malibu's Most Wanted.
• "Pizza Delivery" – A skit where a mark was hired as a pizza delivery boy to a pizza shop run by the mafia.
• "Judge Jamie" – A parody on numerous judge shows, Jamie played the role of James W. Leighland, an old, confused, and incompetent judge, often with perverted tendencies.
• "Jaw Surgery" – A skit where Jamie "X'es" his marks by pretending to have just had jaw surgery, and had to wear a metal-wire contraption that keeps his mouth open. He played different characters in different skits, but they have all just had the same gag.
• "Virginia Hamm" – A parody of daytime talk shows, Jamie would undergo an entire transformation and become a heavyset blackfemale talk show host.
• "You Be the Judge" – Another parody onjudge shows, amark was picked to be thejudge for an episode, and had to preside over a case with an extremely unusual plaintiff or defendant.
• "Lou Hollander" – A skit where Jamie portrayed a driving school teacher, with the student as his mark, and had to "take a detour" during the lesson due to family/marital issues. Also used during the second season, but with Lou Hollander having a paper route instead.
• "Old Rascal" – A skit where Jamie dressed up as Mario, the world's oldest waiter, and the gag on the mark was that Mario was retiring, and he/she would be his last table.
