    The Economist
    Mar 4 2026

    Feeling lost in an economy that seems designed to confuse, Jacob turns to the Internet for answers—and finds them in Jacob Reed, the AP Econ teacher turned YouTuber. Their private tutoring quickly veers off course when a stranger reaches out about a financial advice book allegedly written by Jacob Reed. There’s just one problem: neither Jacob wrote it. As the mystery deepens, the episode becomes a hunt for the third Jacob Reed—an investigation into scams, self-help economics, and what it means to build authority in a system that often rewards confidence over truth.

    Coming Feb 25th: Jacob Reed and Me
    Feb 12 2026

    Jacob Reed and Me is an investigative comedy docuseries blending the heart of Heavyweight with the goose chase of Mystery Show. In each episode, host Jacob Reed (Jimmy Kimmel Live, Funny or Die) tracks down someone who shares his name. 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 teacher, a jazz drummer, an Italian impresario, a teenage crooner, 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.


    Season 1 begins February 25th. Listen wherever you get podcasts. And, get early episodes at https://www.patreon.com/c/JacobReedandMe
