Your whole life is a TV show | Chris & Jack

It's true, man.

We're Chris W. Smith and Jack De Sena (aka Chris & Jack). We've been friends for years and love making high-quality, high-concept sketch comedy. Chris was a Blue Man in Blue Man Group. Jack voiced Sokka in Avatar the Last Airbender. In 2016 we united to create this channel, confusingly titled “Chris & Jack”, which has served as a shared platform to write, produce, direct, edit, and star in our own stuff. Also, we were also ghosts the whole time you were reading this. Supernatural twist!

I love how in this world he has access to the internet and everything and people could tell him what’s going on they just didn’t want to

[DisCoversEDM]

"Your whole life is the same episode every day but somehow it just gets a little bit worse each time" - man I know that this is comedy but that line speaks facts

[Lightning_Lance]

"There's a lot of footage of you just sitting there having these imagined half mumbled arguments with your mom, and then you never actually have those arguments so that storyline doesn't go anywhere"
oh man, that was such a good way of encapsulating how unsatisfying it would be to actually watch someone's life 😂

[ashkata]

I love the concept of "what if the Truman show got cancelled?" Its such a fun idea and you guys did it perfectly!

[WarrirLink]

“If you’re a paid actor, why wasn’t I paid for my show?”
“Remember how generous your allowance was and all those random raises you got at work?”
“Oh yeah…”

[rebeccarivers]

I need a follow up video that is just Jack thinking that them canceling the show was "fake". So he does a lot of really interesting things when no ones around. Chris comes back and is all confused why Jack is still acting like a show is going on. Resolution happens, then we cut to the aliens who are actually running the show of "Earth".

[KringusKrang]

This is actually is amazing, I love the concept of "Truman" actually wanting to be in "The Truman Show" after finding out that's what his whole life has been.

[TommoCarroll]

Classic Molina, always eating chocolate and sending letters instead of being a Dad to Jack. Classic Molina.

[coolgal]

i like that in this world its implied he just lives in a normal town with full access to the internet but nobody cared enough to have free Chester marches or anything, like hes not even in a dome they let him keep the house

[AliLightfoot]

Dennis seems like a cool guy with a lot going on in his life, could we get a show about him?

[oiaweh]

I love that they chose Alfred Molina as the dad and then later had an actual picture of him with young Jack

[dflosounds]

Comedic existential dread at its finest! Also...no one tell Chris and Jack that their entire existence is actually just a YouTube channel.

[DrMontrays]

5:54 I actually find that line pretty wholesome. Kinda knocks off a few of the depression points from the whole concept

[andremarques]

The line "everyone basically has their own show now" gave me a jolt of existential dread.

[thealchemist]

I love how he says he doesn’t just sit around. He struggles to get up from the couch and then immediately sits down on it again.

[caliber]

This is genuinely a fear of mine. The idea of one day someone says "Yeah sorry man, you're actually a TV show, and a pretty horrible one at that. The season where you tried and failed to become a pro athlete was just too embarrassing to watch."

[CombustibleLemonsInc]

I'm honestly upset with YouTube because this didn't show up in my feed, and I'm only seeing it now. You guys are CRIMINALLY underrated!!

[charliehague]

3:20 you can see the mic pack but it wouldn’t tip him off because for him, everyone would always wear mics so it wouldn’t matter. 🤯

[theunidentifiedchannel]

You know it's a good sketch when something as funny as the "It wasn't work for me" exchange doesn't even show up until after the credits.

[fam]

4:28 If you told me your dad is Alfred Molina I'd totally believe you.
