The Switched Questionnaire: Jamie Kennedy
Though his sketch show The Jamie Kennedy Experiment is long over, actor-comedian Jamie Kennedy is keeping busy with a new movie, Kickin' It Old Skool, about an early '90s rapper who falls asleep and wakes up in 2007, Rip-Van-Winkle-style. Though he plays a throwback in his latest film, Kennedy is no stranger to cutting-edge gadgets -- in fact, he's a fixture at many a Hollywood PlayStation or Sidekick party. We asked Jamie about his gadgets to see just how he deeply he kicks it New School.
What gadgets do you always bring with you to the set?
I like to bring my Apple iBook, Sidekick 3, and Bose headphones wherever I go.
What cell phone do you have right now and what do you love/hate about it?
I have a Sidekick 3. I love that it's really easy to use, but I hate how flimsy it is.
Who's the last person you sent a text message to and what was it about?
The last person I sent a text message was my sister. I wanted to see if she got the 'Kickin' It Old Skool' t-Shirt I sent her.
Where do you go pretty much every time you get online?
When I'm online, I like to check out iTunes, YouTube, StupidVideos.com, Stickam.com, MySpace, Dorks.com, AOL, Digg.com, Gamefly.com, IGN.com, and JamieKennedy.com! ;)
What annoys you most about your iPod, cell phone, or laptop (or any other gadget)?
I get annoyed that they're not all together. I'm tired of carrying so many gadgets. They should be merged already.
Name one thing you wish your iPod/cellphone/laptop (any gadget) could do that it doesn't do now?
I wish my cell phone could do everything my computer can do. The Internet on my cell phone isn't that good.
What upcoming gadget can you not wait to get your hands on?
I'd like to check out the iPhone and see if it's for real.
You're stranded on a desert island: What gadget do you bring?
If stranded on a desert island, I'd bring a computer. The island's probably wireless.
Tell us what's the most-played song or artist on your iPod.
The most-played artist on my iPod would be Jay-Z.
Blackberry, Sidekick, or Treo?
I would pick the Sidekick.
Are you getting an iPhone -- if so, why?
I'm thinking about it. It seems very user friendly and I like the fact that I don't have to listen to voicemail. The phone actually turns voicemail into text messages. That's pretty amazing.
What's the longest time you've ever spent playing a video game in one sitting and what game was it?
The longest time I have ever spent playing a video game would be when I played the original Tomb Raider, from 11pm - 6am.
