How did Jack Osbourne's upbringing influence his life choices?
I didn't really anticipate all the attention, because you don't think about it, right? Mainly because we didn't know what we were doing. That couldn't have been good. No, it wasn't. What's your sort of general memory of it? Do you think of it fondly now? What pops to mind for me the most is kind of the gentleness and the laughter.
To see such great artists move in one direction, you see the power of rock music in full display. I'm only crying because who the... The joy.
What challenges did Jack face growing up in the spotlight?
Yeah. He did it. Yeah. He did it. Jack, good to see you. Good to see you too. Thanks for being here. Lots to talk about. Okay. So whenever I'm going to interview someone, I try to do a deep dive, learn things I didn't know.
How did the reality TV phenomenon impact Jack's family dynamics?
And this one caught my eye. So I wanted to start here because it kind of made me laugh. The Osbournes Reloaded, right? Yes. Reloaded. Reloaded. A little, yeah, a blip. I was like, first of all, how did I miss The Osbournes Reloaded? For quick context, and correct me if I'm wrong, there was only one episode that aired. Yes.
What was the significance of Ozzy Osbourne's final Birmingham show?
Total disaster. As far as TV world, I don't know. I want your opinion on it, of course.
Totally. Yeah, so we shot an entire series for Fox. It was a variety show. 2009? Yeah, 8, 9-ish. Yeah, I think so. 2009.
How did Jack navigate his father's legacy in the music industry?
Yeah. Um, and it was very short lived because, uh, ad sales like, Hey, they were like, this is horrible. You can't do that. It was like too shocking. And they pulled it. And I was like, wait, what? The, the, the same network that has like family guy that's making like Hitler jokes. And, you know, we, and it was because we did a, on the first episode, we did this like blind date thing, um, where we had a guy blindfolded and something, I forget what the context was, but he ended up having to make out with like an 80 year old woman and he didn't know, blindfolded. And they found it just too, you know, too hot for TV.
What insights does Jack provide about addiction and recovery?
So it was produced by the same company as American Idol. Yes. American Idol was your lead in, so it was obviously set up for success. The debut was only 35 minutes, not 60. Yep. Sketches, stunts, hidden camera stuff, music, celeb cameos. Yes. Many of the TV affiliates refused to air. One critic called it the worst variety show ever. Episode one, it had your father, Ozzy, dancing in a leotard.
How do Jack and Billy Corgan reflect on the pressures of fame?
Quite possibly, yeah. Another critic called it must-flee TV. Yeah. You also had a thing where a couple was pressured to marry on the spot, which they did. Yep. I remember that. And then there was some skit about Ozzy and Kelly working at a fast food job. Yeah. Which that sounds fun. Yeah.
What future projects is Jack working on related to his father's legacy?
Yeah.
It was like this diner down by the airport. Yeah. It was fun. Yeah. It was like this. We and my dad like flung a piece of bread at my mom and it poked her in the eye and like burst her like, I guess, whatever the sack is in your eye. And it was like a whole thing. Yeah.
Okay, so yeah, I want to bring it back. I think all the episodes now are online, somebody said, but I hadn't gone looking for them yet. It's all right. You're not missing anything. Yeah, it sounded like an interesting car crash.
It totally was an interesting car crash. Yeah, it was fun to do, but, yeah, I'm glad it never went.
I guess it's easiest to start with Osborne's, the successful version of the show, because, you know, it sort of brought you and the family into the public consciousness in many ways. People got to know your mom and all that.
Yeah.
I know originally it was pitched as a three-week thing, and it was supposed to be short-term. And we don't have to go deep into it, because the episodes are all there if people want to watch. But what's your sort of general memory of it? Do you think of it fondly now, or...?
In hindsight, I think of it fondly. In the moment, I can remember being really, um... I mean, I was 15 when we started filming. And so, I don't care who you are, 15 is not a very, uh... fun age especially early online people are probably saying stuff about you yeah yeah and this was in like the you know blogging days and all that like before social media um and i just didn't i wasn't i didn't really anticipate the the all the attention because you just you don't think about it right mainly because we didn't know what we were doing
