About This Podcast
Jacob Reed and Me is an investigative comedy that blends the heart of Heavyweight with the goose chase of Mystery Show. In each episode, host Jacob Reed (Jimmy Kimmel Live, Funny or Die) answers life's biggest questions.... exclusively by tracking down other people named Jacob Reed.
What begins as a simple search, quickly unravels into bizarre, unexpected adventures, as Reed uses unconventional methods to track down his namesakes and find common ground in the most unlikely places. Among the 751 Jacob Reeds he's discovered, Season 1 introduces the audience to a porn star, a teacher, a jazz drummer, an Italian impresario, a teenage crooner, and a waitress at a greasy spoon who wants absolutely nothing to do with us. Each encounter opens a window into a strange corner of the world, blending personal discovery with wild, unpredictable storytelling, as moving as it is hilarious.
