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!

Oh my god, the quality of these sketches (or short films rather) is always so consistent, I don't know how you do it. Til next time, Chris and Jack! I know I'll be waiting for it.

"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 😂

[@stephenproulx175]

😮 i honestly feel less alone now.

[@rebeccarivers4797]

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".

[@alexjohnson9737]

🎉I Love you Jesus Loves you God Bless in Jesus' Mighty Name 😊 🎉‭Romans‬ ‭5:6‭-‬11‬ ‭NIV‬ [6] You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. [7] Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. [8] But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. [9] Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through him! [10] For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! [11] Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. 🎉‭Romans‬ ‭6:1‭-‬4‬ ‭NIV‬ [1] What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? [2] By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? [3] Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? [4] We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life 🎉‭1 John‬ ‭4:1‭-‬3‬ ‭NIV‬ [1] Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. [2] This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, [3] but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world. 🎉‭1 John‬ ‭4:4‭-‬6‬ ‭NIV‬ [4] You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. [5] They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. [6] We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood. 🎉‭1 John‬ ‭4:7‭-‬8‬ ‭NIV‬ [7] Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. [8] Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. [18] There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. [19] We love because he first loved us. [20] Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. [21] And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister. 🎉‭Matthew‬ ‭5:38‭-‬48‬ ‭NIV‬ [38] “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ [39] But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. [40] And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. [41] If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. [42] Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you. [43] “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ [44] But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, [45] that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. [46] If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? [47] And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? [48] Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. ❤😊❤😊

[@AliLightfoot]

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

[@alex.g7317]

Or Jack

[@jam_toast1]

A Truman show of a guy who thinks the other guys life is a tv show and he’s an actor when really the show is his life and the other guy is an actor

[@x2bounty]

​@@jam_toast1yo. that would actually be an interesting concept

[@ContinualKarma]

@@jam_toast1 It'd be like a Jo-schmo Truman Show

[@krismanwaring402]

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.

[@obscurum6]

Only in 2024 would that be something someone would want. 🙄

[@lonelyshpee7873]

Well, I think it's less wanting to be part of the show and more... Finding out you _were_ in the show but people just stopped giving a shit. I'd feel like a loser.

[@TommoCarroll]

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

[@caliber009]

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."

[@Nate-bd8fg]

Psychosis

[@Argo.nautica]

Hey, you tried, and that's compelling TV right there.

[@KayFabeMedia]

Hey that season sounds hilarious..... I mean uplifting and inspiring.

[@spelcheak]

That’s a new level of horror from the original Truman show. You try to make a great change in your life but fail then the ratings plummet and your still upbeat about it at first but they can’t afford to help make your life have any interest anymore and it gets objectively depressing and becomes a downward spiral. Because the “world” is just what the producers shill out for, like any local activities/events would go from being masterplanned events with tailored storylines just for him to just like work parties with random show office workers and stuff that don’t want to be there…

[@Callaghan552]

Back when I was 14 and they had to pan to the fluttering curtains 10 times a day 🫥

[@dflosounds]

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

[@oiaweh17]

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

[@coolgal2]

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

[@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.

[@JChaseFilms]

The Truman show is my all time favorite movie. My gosh this skit was such a treat!!! It’s always a blast watching a video that makes me smile ear to ear even not during the jokes just because the concept is so golden. Great work guys!

[@ampersandKnuckles]

Man, when your skits hit, they reeeally hit! I love how you can recontextualize old movies and tropes into interesting plots and even commentary on modern living (like in here!) You guys have so much raw comedic potential. Never forget that.

[@ChrisandJack]

Well this definitely made our day!

[@mariliafreitas7424]

Homestuck pfp spotted

[@noseman123]

This is hilarious! There are times when I use The Truman Show as a way of motivating myself, like "are you really gonna subject your fans to another *spending the day in bed hungover, except to pick up a pizza and to drink water* episode?" It's hit or miss. But I think I'm gonna go for a walk in the sun right now lol ... right after the next KZbin video

[@CombustibleLemonsInc]

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

[@stunnertalk1500]

I definitely see the Alfred Molina resemblance.

[@Concentrum]

"you know what? me neither man!" oh my gosh, the icing on top! somehow that was the funniest moment for me! thanks for the masterfully entertaining uploads every once in a while!

[@SilkySkill]

I had just gotten over my fear that my life was a Truman show. And this has reignited that fear as I was wondering where my dad Alfred Molena had disappeared to.

[@Geck0GC]

What a rollercoaster, comedy, pain, hope, all wrapped in a nice wrapping paper called existential dread. Beautiful.

[@TMHF]

My nephew was being baptized this AM but when I saw that Chris & Jack had posted a new skit, I had to step outside to watch it. I somehow managed to lock myself out and miss the entire baptism and now my entire family isn't speaking to me, but it's okay because this skit was hilarious. Great job guys.

I can 100% see this concept working as a reboot of The Truman Show. But maybe after being cancelled, it does get picked up by a streaming service and he’s all excited, then they decide to recast Chester and he’s played by someone super famous instead. So he just decides to continue the show himself by having a whole bunch of cameras constantly live streaming to every social media network, and just doing whatever he can to try to get people interested in watching it.
