Kennedy & Tyrus Name the WORST Celebrities They’ve Met

Overview

Kennedy & Tyrus trade stories about celebrities they’ve met—especially who disappointed them most and how fame can expose people’s insecurities.

Celebrity stories and standout moments

Tupac (and who they did get to meet)

• Tyrus jokes about having a “specific area” for meaningful celebrity connections (names, photos, etc.).
• He admits he never got to meet Tupac, calling it sad.
• Still, he says he has met Snoop, Dr. Dre, and especially Warren G.

Warren G: down-to-earth… with an awkward twist

• They describe Warren G as unusually down-to-earth.
• Then the story turns: he becomes very forward and romantic, repeatedly trying to “show” Tyrus something.
• The vibe is half-flattering, half-creepy—ending up as their most unexpected celebrity moment.

James Hetfield: biggest letdown

• Kennedy (or one of the hosts) calls Metallica’s James Hetfield a jerk.
• He’s described as uppity and self-impressed, especially compared to the fun energy they associate with other band members (Kirk and Lars).
• The joke lands with a memorable comparison: Hetfield is like a “wet sandwich.”

Steven Tyler: rude at first, then genuinely cool

• A host recounts a detailed story from Louisville:
  • Feeling cocky/young, they enter a bar.
  • Steven Tyler looks at them like they’re “the help.”
  • A friend says he’s a dick.
• Then the lead guitarist steps in:
  • He laughs it off.
  • The band later buys them rounds.
• They end up hanging out, and Tyler’s side does karaoke-night critiques of other singers—suggesting the band’s low-key side was actually fun.

Anthony Kiedis-style tactics (attention through wardrobe changes)

• During a Nine Inch Nails story, they mention that Anthony Kiedis couldn’t get attention from girls at a New Orleans show.
• He supposedly changed shirts upstairs into a Red Hot Chili Peppers tee to attract them.
• It’s told as a joke—“as sad as that is”—but also as a peek at celebrity-level “game” and strategy.

Chris Brown: meltdown over not being recognized

• A bodyguard describes an incident during a Grammys-week crowd scene:
  • A young up-and-comer (Chris Brown) walks in.
  • Nobody recognizes him, and he gets furious.
• When a table lady lists other major stars she has onsite—and says the table costs $15K—the bodyguard realizes who it is and returns.
• Chris Brown remains upset and effectively demands: “Do you have anything to say?”
• After the woman apologizes (“I’m so sorry, Chris Brown”), he storms off.
• The hosts broaden the point: some people’s insecurity is so intense that not being noticed ruins their mood—and they contrast it with their own preference to stay comfortable even when nobody recognizes them.

Big theme: fame is the worst part

• The conversation shifts into philosophy:
  • Fame is portrayed as the least enjoyable element of entertainment.
• Kennedy says he wanted success and respect.
• He later admits he used to confuse respect with recognition—especially during a rough career period after sports, when he took low-paying work and even tried substitute-teaching.

Bodyguard perspective: boundaries, respect, and danger of starstruck behavior

• They discuss how bodyguards must respect a celebrity’s status:
  • Don’t act like you’re “buddies” just because you’re near the person.
• Starstruck behavior can get bodyguards removed quickly—especially if social interactions get messy.
• They mention familiar names on the team (including Tiny, whom everyone seemed to like).
• The segment ends with a light, friendly compliment about their chemistry—an Abbott-and-Costello-style bit.

Main highlights / jokes

• Hetfield being a “wet sandwich” and too self-impressed
• Tyler’s cold first impression turning into a fun, low-key hang
• Kiedis changing shirts to get attention
• Chris Brown getting furious at being unrecognized in a celebrity-heavy venue
• The recurring theme: fame + insecurity can be worse than the job itself
