I have been fortunate to work with Kenny Smith numerous times over the years including; national campaigns, in-market commercials, keynote speaking events and 2 hour appearances. The one constant in all of the above is that Kenny Smith always overdelivers. He is funny, memorable and will go the extra mile to ensure your event is the absolute best it can be!
