Cringeworthy SLYT: Jamie Kennedy produced and hosted a New Year's Eve special on a Los Angeles local station this year. It didn't go that well.

Bonus clip: The countdown to midnight -- starts pretty much at midnight.

We watched this in northern California! (Thought it was out of Sacramento - actually spent quite a long time arguing where it was broadcast from). It was definitely one of the highlights of our New Year's Eve. The long zoom-in on the Carl's Junior logo was definitely equivalent to a ball drop.

When working with a teleprompter, make sure your relationship with the person behind the camera is such that he or she will crop out any person behind you mouthing the words as you speak them. Something tells me the camera crew was more than happy to assist in making the on-air talent look like chumps. Wonder if a new union contract is coming up in the New Year.

Why does anyone think this man is funny? Even allowing for the baffling thought that there are things in this world other people find funny that I don't (I mean, really people?), I just can't grok it. Apparently people on the West Coast saw Kathy Griffin trying to kiss AC's crotch on the Times Square coverage and thought, "c'mon folks, we can do better than those East Coast losers!

It always looks sad when you see a New Years Eve live remote and half of the main floor is empty and most of the people appear to just be milling about and not having any fun. This year we skipped the annual disappointment of watching local Chicago news people trying to party on down. This video suddenly makes the lackluster Chicago production seem a bit better.

There's a film called 'Heckler' that's all about the phenomenon of heckling at live comedy shows, comedians talking about their experiences and how they handle it, as well as post-show interviews with people who've heckled shows and what they think they're accomplishing. All of this could be a pretty interesting set of clashing interviews and the like, except the central framing device is that Jamie Kennedy is putting this all together to understand why HE gets heckled so much. It turns out the hecklers and the audience both agree - it's because Jamie Kennedy is total shit.

Who are these haters people say they have? What is happening that two people have a relationship in which one or both parties can be characterized as "a hater?" Why not just not have a relationship with someone you hate or who hates you? I don't think I've ever had a hater, and I went to middle school and everything. It seems like such a straightforward concept, but at the same time I feel like I'm missing something.

We caught pieces of this live, and it honestly did play like performance art. It was bizarre. Everytime we flipped back to it there was something new and horrible. I remember watching the "Haters" part and was seriously confused. Maybe it was the champagne we'd been drinking for several hours. Also there was this HORRENDOUS band that played at one point. The lead couldn't sing at all and I think I remember equipment falling over while they were playing. Maybe I just kept thinking this was another one of Jamie Kennedy's "Experiments."

Who are these haters people say they have? Perhaps you're not up to date with current American English usage? It's a pretty well known word with a specific and nuanced meeting in contemporary popular culture. Particularly in "urban" and hip-hop culture. You'll have to apply some critical reading to some of the posts, but Urban Dictionary has some useful definitions: hater and haters.

This is probably way more consideration than a drunken New Year's resolution deserves. What is happening that two people have a relationship in which one or both parties can be characterized as "a hater?" Usually family members - an aunt who is always telling you to get a job and stop mooching off your parents, but you can't avoid her because she's family, would definitely be classified as a "hater" that you might feel the need to "get rid of"in an enterprise requiring more than the usual superficial technique of avoiding them Or sometimes, when you start dating a new person who you think is wonderful, a lot of your old friends will try to tell you that he's a 'player' or a 'man ho' or a 'deadbeat.' Mysteriously your old friends have transformed into 'haters!' Even more, it's an insidious breed of hater that grows so slowly you've developed a hater relationship without even realizing it.

I don't get New Year's Eve as a holiday or New Year's Eve television specials. The central focus is watching the clock move clockwise. That is not a dense enough collection of stuff to keep a person's interest. When I was a kid and first got permission to stay up until midnight it took me two or three years to make it awake to midnight and the first time I remained awake to midnight it was a real chore and there was absolutely NO payoff to it. Nothing happens at midnight. You are still you and the world is still what it is. There isn't anything to celebrate. Kathy Griffin was bored.

I don't think the crowd was turning on them, they were just probably drunk. Hell, I'd be doing that off a teleprompter if I was sober. They do these kinds of shows in Chicago, but they always keep the personalities on some kind of stage above the crowd and do interviews from there. Rarely do they wade into the field of drunken clubgoers without a plan.

Despite how hard they try to convince people that they are a Los Angeles station (including putting it in their logo), this is not Los Angeles, this is Orange County. Notice the "OC" in the name? And poor OC suffers because, unlike most of the other nothingburger areas in the United States, it is right next to the Entertainment Capitol of The World. And while we all know that so much popular entertainment is vapid, inane, and banal, the production values are tight, professionally incredibly tight. What looks to you like nothing more than Howie Mandel shootin' the shit with a 4th grade teacher from Pacoima has hundreds of people behind the scenes, making sure that all the mic levels are right, that all of the briefcase holding models have make-up that reads the best for the given stage lighting, and that the crowd is kept at the right fever pitch by assistant directors so they will cheer loudly on demand. Poor poor Orange County, sat right next to the beautiful and rich who make it look effortless, trying hard to keep up.

the first time I remained awake to midnight it was a real chore and there was absolutely NO payoff to it. That's when the local PBS station aired Monty Python and Benny Hill, and if you didn't like that you could watch Letterman (this was the mid to late 1980's) or Phil Hartman-era SNL. So staying up to midnight was pretty awesome.

But poor KDOC is always full of glitches that seem like some piece of equipment is slowly failing in unpredictable ways. Usually a flash of green screen at odd times throughout their broadcasts or audio cutting out a few seconds too early or coming up next adverts at the wrong times. So somehow this doesn't surprise me.

the first time I remained awake to midnight it was a real chore and there was absolutely NO payoff to it. I was in Moab on New Year's with another couple friends, both also from New York, and sometime during the day we all realized, "hey, wait, we can watch the ball drop in Times Square without staying up until midnight this year!" And so we did, counting down with Anderson Cooper and popping the champagne cork - as the clock on the wall said 10 pm. It gave us a weird mix of feeling really, really clever and really, really old at the same time. (Until I had the idea to save some champagne to make mimosas for breakfast in the morning, then we got all excited about YAY MIMOSAS.)

I grew up with KDOC, and I can tell you that that station is the real-life SCTV. Lots of reruns, epically dysfunctional local programming, and a general feeling of sleaze, cheapness and desperation that's somehow endearing. I didn't realize Jamie Kennedy had fallen so low. People love to rip on the guy, and he does seem like a troubled sort, but I liked The Jamie Kennedy Experiment and I've always had some affection for the guy ever since I saw him save Peter Pan from a psychotic homophobe wrestler. Long story made relatively short: in 2003, a middle-aged fellow who dresses like a pixie and call himself Peter Pan made an appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel show, and the other guests were Kennedy and hulking wrestler Bill Goldberg. Kimmel made a lot of rather nasty cracks about Peter, Peter being a scrawny geek in tights and Kimmel being kind of a smug asshole, but Kennedy was much more welcoming. He was clearly a bit weirded out by Peter too, but he just as clearly found Peter kind of charming. Goldberg, meanwhile, sat there in a seething rage, KILL FAGGOT written all over his face. He was like a pitbull straining at the leash. At some point Kimmel's cousin came out and jokingly challenged Goldberg to a pillow fight, and that was when a relatively odd episode turned into an Andy Kaufman-esque debacle. Goldberg and Kimmle's cousin squared off, and the cousin came after Goldberg with a few strong shots to the head. Goldberg went into a terrifying 'roid rage, attacking the cousin with the pillow and smashing him so hard that he literally opened a serious, bloody gash in the guy's forehead. (We later learned that it required 19 stitches.) Goldberg ended up tearing the cousin's shirt to shreds as the poor schmuck tried to flee backstage to get his wound attended to. Then Goldberg went after Peter Pan, clearly intending to kill him if at all possible. Without hyperbole, a pillow had become a serious weapon in this psychotic fucker's hand. This is where Kennedy won my heart. Despite being approximately half Goldberg's size, Kennedy yanked the pillow from Goldberg's hand and tried to stand in his way, saying, "Please don't hurt Peter Pan. Just think of all the love and happiness he brings into the world," which was A), brave as hell, B), very sweet and C), pretty damn funny. If you can think that fast while facing down a silverback gorilla like Goldberg, you're a force to be reckoned with. Goldberg took one more swing at Pan, knocking his dorky little pixie hat off, but Kennedy's distraction had worked. Goldberg was now disoriented, and some tattered remnant of his superego was kicking in to remind him that you can't just kill faggots in public because then you'll go to jail and stuff. Jamie Kennedy saved Peter Pan. He can make all the Malibu's Most Wanteds that he wants, far as I'm concerned.

I had pretty much the same reaction as Ursula Hitler (great username, btw). You may not like Jamie Kennedy, but damn, it sucks to see someone's career take such a nosedive. Boy looks a mess.

Just for clarity's sake, the Peter Pan dude (Randy Costan) is married to a lady and I believe identifies as straight (rather than bi or no-pun-intended pansexual). Not to cast doubt on Ursula Hitler's assessment of Bill Goldberg's thought processes, because those sound accurate. I am not a fan of Jamie Kennedy, because I had to sit through Malibu's Most Wanted on a plane once and that has scarred me for life, but I join him in Peter Pan dude love. Thanks for sharing that story, Ursula.

Yeah, I didn't mean to say that Peter Pan is actually gay, because apparently he isn't. But he is so, so unbutch, with his bowl cut and green tights and glitter... He is a gay-basher's fever dream. I wish that clip was online. The closest I could find was Mr. Pan's own series of photos from the evening, and he really doesn't do the thing justice. He's obviously not one to dwell on the negative, so he glosses over the really bizarre parts.

So the first video can't be as-aired, because what we see in the second video would have been aired in between cut-together parts of the first video -- right?

You are still you and the world is still what it is. There isn't anything to celebrate. The second sentence leads me to believe that you haven't read the first sentence.

They actually SYNDCIATED this. In Seattle we were getting a lot of ads for it on Joe TV (the former KTZZ 22 - I don't remember it's calls now... KZJO, I think?). I didn't consider watching it, but now I wish I had. That said, I watched the Eric Andre New Year's Eve Spooktacular, which was great (and I think live on the east coast? Or at least live to tape, it looked like. In the intro sequence, he cut open his lip, and he did the rest of the show with a bleeding mouth. Also, it was probably a bit, but it was funny to see Demi Lovato terrified of weirdness.)

Talon motherfu... guy just commented on the New Year's video: "i didnt mean to say muther fucker!!! haha". I love the Internet. Edit: Might not be who he says he is, sorry. I love the Internet, but I shouldn't trust it so much.

There should be no question that the first video was edited by the uploader in an Awesome Show/Everything is Terrible manner, for intentional, enhanced awkwardness, though a few of the cuts/transitions were probably authentic. It should be clear from viewing that you are seeing condensed highlights from the entire night.

Oh god... I kept expecting Dr. Rockso to leap out from behind the crowd and shout I DO COCAINE! Though maybe Macy actually said "I smoke weed" once in that. I can never really understand what she's saying.

Paraphrasing the great Greg Giraldo: "Jamie Kennedy is the Jeff Ross of comedy." I liked the end bit, where he promises to be back in "2024." Yes, it should take about 10 years for him to get it right.

Look's like the video's been taken down, so I guess anyone looking for awkward Jamie Kennedy videos will have to watch his E3 2007 Press Conference for Activision instead; a debacle that he doesn't like to be reminded of. Edit: Should have previewed before that mirror was posted, rats...

Man, I had completely forgotten Peter Pan and his website (back when comic sans was cool). Seems like his last update was April last year. I wonder if he moved to Facebook or Twitter? They kept talking about 'Green' and I assumed it was a nod to California's lax drug laws, but no, energy efficiency. I would like to know more, oddly stilted spokesmodel.

oooooooooohhhhkkeeeee...forgive me...i skipped the majority of the above conversation but I've been hearing about this all morning. I just watched it. I know from live TV...having worked on and produced some of it....this is a fugazi. It's staged. It's MEANT TO BE LIKE THIS. I'd bet my pinky ring on it. I could tell right from the intro. Also, you don't cut into a commercial (Shannon Elizabeth) that quickly without planning it. It's not technically possible. Well it is, but not by a human making a mistake. A call bullshit. Elaborate and awesome prank.

Also, you don't cut into a commercial (Shannon Elizabeth) that quickly without planning it. It's not technically possible. That's an edit by the original uploader, not something from the broadcast. All the uploader's edits appear to have a 'white flash' effect to them. Check it out between 1:45 and 2:09 when he cuts a few times in mid-speech, while the dead air and video glitches appear to be original to the broadcast.
