Emma Kennedy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emma Kennedy (born May 28, 1967 in Corby, Northamptonshire) is an English television presenter, actress and writer. Her real name is Elizabeth Emma Williams.
She was educated at Hitchin Girls' School and St Edmund Hall, Oxford. At Oxford in 1987, she worked with (among others) Richard Herring and Stewart Lee in a comedy troupe known as the Seven Raymonds. She used to present The Real Holiday Show on Channel 4. She has since made appearances in TV comedies This Morning With Richard Not Judy (again with Lee and Herring), People Like Us (with Chris Langham) and hit BBC comedy The Smoking Room, along with appearing in several of the The Mark Steel Lectures, as well as in several plays and radio shows. She was also a movie reviewer on Five's Terry and Gaby Show.
She has written for radio, television and the theatre, and is currently providing voices for The Comic Side of 7 Days. She also appeared in the movie Notes on a Scandal. She also appears in the Five series Suburban Shootout. She also writes a daily weblog about some of her celebrity friends including Sue Perkins 'Perks' and Anna Chancellor 'Chancey'.
She is also a regular on the BBC Radio 2 comedy That Was Then, This Is Now with Richard Herring, where she is billed as "TV's Emma Kennedy". A running gag in this show is that she will always be described as "mawkish" by Richard, and will result in a massive argument where Emma says that she has had it with the show and will leave. She never does.
