Believe it or not, Kennedy was a big thing in the 90s.
She has had quite a career transition.
She was an early VJ at MTV. As “Kennedy”, she hosted Alternative Nation from 1992–1997.
In 1999, Kennedy published her book Hey Ladies! Tales and Tips for Curious Girls, in which she incorporated a multitude of personal experiences.[15] That same year, she moved to Seattle to host The Buzz on KQBZ radio; the show was a mix of news, local issues, and comedy. Montgomery left Seattle in 2001 to cohost a morning radio show with Ahmet Zappa on the Comedy World Radio Network, The Future with Ahmet & Kennedy, a similar mix of current events and comedy. She later co-hosted a morning show with Malibu Dan, The Big House.
Beginning June 3, 2002, Kennedy hosted Game Show Network’s Friend or Foe?,[17] which ran for two seasons. On April 1, 2003, she guest-hosted the GSN show WinTuition as part of GSN’s April Fools prank where hosts swap places, while the original hosts usually appear as cameos, and play as contestants in Lingo for charity. She also hosted GSN’s Who Wants to Be Governor of California?, a televised debate among fringe candidates in the 2003 California gubernatorial recall election, such as actors Gary Coleman and Mary Carey.
Beginning September 23, 2005, Kennedy appeared as an occasional panelist on VH1’s Best Week Ever and MSNBC’s Scarborough Country. In October 2005, she became host of Fox Reality’s Reality Remix until that series ended in June 2008.
In December 2007, she guest-hosted the evening show several times on Los Angeles talk-radio station KFI, before being hired by the station for a regular Sunday-afternoon show. In April 2008, she joined Bryan Suits as cohost of the Kennedy & Suits Show at that station through September 30, 2009. She hosted Music in the Mornings on KYSR in Los Angeles from 2009 until March 2014.
On January 18, 2011, she began appearing as Anthony Sullivan’s assistant on PitchMen, looking for new inventions to promote in infomercials.
Kennedy joined Fox Business Network as a contributor in 2012. She co-hosted The Independents, a current-events and political discussion show, from its debut on December 9, 2013. The show was cancelled in January 2015, but she continued as host of her own program, Kennedy.
She is also a contributor to Reason.com and Reason.tv, and occasionally serves as guest host for Bill Carroll, John and Ken, and Tim Conway Jr. on KFI. She was a correspondent on the Fox Business talk show Stossel, and made occasional appearances as a panelist and guest host on Fox News’ Red Eye. She has also made appearances on other Fox talk shows, such as Outnumbered and The Five.
She tells a WILD story about her, Michael Jordan, and Russell Simmons playing dice at a fancy restaurant.
In an interview with HuffPost Live, the topic eventually veered to this rumor linking her to MJ. These are parts of a highly sporting and humorous reply from the then 41-year-old VJ. This is a story from when she was only 22 years old:
“Michael Jordan and I were playing dice in a very trendy bar in Manhattan. And I was losing a little bit. I was worried that I was going to have to give him a little money.”
“Michael Jordan said ‘Baby’, and that moment I would have latched on to him like a chihuahua in heat (jokingly).”
“But he said ‘Baby, if I win, you’re going to come with me to my hotel room.’ But if you win, you’re going to have Nets tickets. So I got Nets tickets.”
There is every chance that Jordan was merely talking trash while winning a gambling game. But we won’t know for sure until MJ himself can verify this. Either way, Kennedy continued to go by the nickname of ‘Virgin Kennedy’ at her workplace till an unknown time in the future.
WILD.
