Jacob Reed and Me

An investigative comedy that answers life's biggest questions... exclusively by tracking down people named Jacob Reed.

Jacob Reed and Me is an investigative comedy docu-series blending the heart of Heavyweight with the goose chase of Mystery Show.

And, to answer the big questions about his own life, Jacob finds common ground in wildly different places What begins as a simple search, quickly unravels into bizarre, unexpected adventures, as Reed uses unconventional methods to track down his namesakes. Among the 751 Jacob Reeds he's discovered, Season 1 introduces the audience to a porn star, a bank robber, a jazz drummer, an Italian empresario, a teenage climate activist, and a waitress at a greasy spoon who wants absolutely nothing to do with us. Each encounter opens a window into a strange corner of the world, blending personal discovery with wild, unpredictable storytelling, as moving as it is hilarious.
