Jane Kennedy is an acclaimed Australian actress, radio presenter, and television producer, best known for her extensive work with Working Dog Productions, a collective behind numerous successful television shows and films. From 2017 to 2020, she co-hosted "KennedyMolloy" on Triple M with Mick Molloy.
Jane's connection with the Working Dog team began on Melbourne commercial radio during the D-Generation Breakfast Show, where she initially served as the newsreader. Despite not being an original member, her interactions with Tom Gleisner, Rob Sitch, Santo Cilauro, Tony Martin, Mick Molloy, and Jason Stephens quickly led to her full integration into the group. The team often attempted to make her laugh during her news segments, a dynamic that ultimately resulted in Jane joining the D-Generation as a full-time member. She continued to work with them on the radio show, and the group later created the comedy sketch show "The Late Show," the critically acclaimed current affairs spoof "Frontline" (where Jane portrayed ambitious reporter Brooke Vandenberg), and the retro-styled 70s police drama spoof "Funky Squad."
Since the mid-1990s, Jane has largely operated behind the scenes as a casting director and producer for various Working Dog productions, including the panel talk show "The Panel" and the popular films "The Castle" and "The Dish."
In addition to her production work, Jane has made occasional appearances on the radio program "Get This" and has been a semi-regular panellist on the television chat show "The Circle."
Jane is also a successful author of four cookbooks: "Fabulous Food Minus the Boombah" (2009), "OMG! I Can Eat That?" (2010), "One Dish Two Ways," and "The Big Book of Fabulous Food."
