Jane Kennedy (born 9 June 1964) is an Australian actress, radio presenter and television producer, best known for her work with Working Dog Productions , a group of performers responsible for a variety of television and films. She previously was a co-host of KennedyMolloy on Triple M with Mick Molloy .

Career [ edit ]

She met the other members of the group, which over time included Tom Gleisner , Rob Sitch , Santo Cilauro , Tony Martin , Mick Molloy , and Jason Stephens, while working on Melbourne commercial radio on the D-Generation Breakfast Show . Kennedy was not originally a member of the group, but was the newsreader assigned to work with them during their timeslot. The team quickly made a game of trying to make her laugh while she read the news. Their frequent success led to Kennedy joining the D-Generation as a full-time member and she continued to work with them on the radio show. The group stayed together to later write, direct and produce The Late Show , a comedy sketch show, Frontline , [2] a widely acclaimed spoof of television current affairs in which she played ambitious reporter Brooke Vandenberg, and Funky Squad , a retro styled spoof of 70s police dramas. [3]

Since the mid-1990s, Kennedy has mostly stayed behind the camera as a casting director and producer for various Working Dog productions, including their panel talk show The Panel , and the films The Castle and The Dish .

Kennedy also appeared on the radio program Get This occasionally, and has been a semi-regular panelist on television chat show The Circle .

In 2009, Kennedy released her first cookbook, Fabulous Food Minus the Boombah . In 2010, she released her second cookbook, OMG! I Can Eat That? and has since written two other cookbooks One Dish Two Ways and The Big Book of Fabulous Food .

From 2017 until 2020 she co-hosted Kennedy Molloy, a national drive show on Triple M in 2018 with her long time comedy colleague Mick Molloy . [4] [5] In January 2021, Kennedy resigned from Triple M to devote more time to her family. [6]
