Jaime Kennedy Explains What Happened During His New Years Debacle

And the answer is……He meant to have it be a clusterfuck! Here’s what Jaime had to say to the New York Times:

“It was totally supposed to be like that. We wanted to make almost an anti-New Year’s Eve show, and the recipe calls for unexpected. We had an open bar for our guests, we were unrehearsed. It was not glamorous.”

“We wanted to make a stink. Did we know it was going to make this much of a stink? No. But if I had done this correctly, would I be talking to you right now? No. How many people are talking about a New Year’s special on the 4th? Carson Daly, Ryan Seacrest – no. They’re talking about me. Some people really go after you, and I don’t know where the hate comes from. Here’s what I say: I didn’t stab nobody, I didn’t shoot nobody. I just made a New Year’s Eve special. Is that so bad?”

And it looks like there’s a sponsor ready to have Jaime do another NYE special next year. See kids, all you have to do to get people talking about you is do such a bad job at something that everyone can’t help but talk about how shitty you are!
