    The third season of JKX has an "on the road" theme. First stop: Los Angeles. In the first skit, Amanda Bynes hosts a new show called "Makeover Takeover", and the mark Rochelle is set up by her friend to be on it. Jamie, playing a flamboyant German named Gunther, teams up with world-renowned hairstylist Jose Eber to give Rochelle a new look. How will Rochelle react when she comes out looking like a circus clown on drugs? Jamie plays Don Henderson, the producer of a new hidden-camera show called "Undercover." Holly Robinson Peete's brother Matt tries to play a joke on Holly by pretending to be a bumbling Pakistani waiter. The joke's on Matt, however, when Holly, whose football-playing husband Rodney just left for training camp, is caught getting her freak on with another man. And by the way, did I mention that Matt and Rodney are really tight? Jamie takes on the role of "Shane Martin," a British director on the set of Anthony Anderson's TV series.

    Jamie is in Los Angeles once again for this episode. At Dodgers' Stadium, LA Dodger Paul Lo Duca and his wife Sonja enlist Jamie to "X" fellow Dodger Dave Roberts, whom Sonja describes as "the nicest guy in the world." The setup: Jamie is a Little League dad whose son Tommy has won a chance to play baseball with Roberts. How nice will Roberts be when Jamie turns out to be the meanest, greediest, most selfish dad Roberts has ever seen... or when Paul Lo Duca loses his temper and gives Jamie a beatdown? Comedian Pauly Shore's mother owns the famous club The Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip. This is the setting for our next gag: Jamie plays a Saudi prince who, with Shore's help, is auditioning comic talent for a new club he wants to open. The problem is that Jamie doesn't speak any English, and every joke must be translated into Arabic for him! But that's not the worst of it: the mark ends up being Brian Holtzman, a comedian that Jamie worked with in his standup days!

    This episode takes places in Los Angeles. Avery, a professional writer looking for work, is our mark in the first skit. He has been set up by his friend Nicole. Avery has an appointment with the president of a studio, but he gets held up by a remarkably thorough gang of security guards...Jamie and his crew! Jamie and his mark Harris go on a paparazzi mission, posing as gas men to invade a celebrity's home and photograph her as she's recovering from plastic surgery. (Actually, it's a celebrity lookalike, and the name of whoever she's supposed to be keeps getting bleeped out!) Meet Jacqueline. She's setting up her boyfriend Manny at a nice restaurant. Jamie plays a (very gay) waiter who mixes up desserts, accidentally giving Jacqueline a dessert with an engagement ring in it! How will Manny react to his accidental proposal... or when the guy who intended that dessert for his girlfriend confronts Manny?

    This episode takes place in Jamie's hometown, Philadelphia, PA! Jamie "X-es" his parents! WB reporter Steve Highsmith interviews them about a (phony) Time Magazine article, with Jamie in the control room supplying Highsmith with the most bizarre questions about the most bizarre subject matter you could ever imagine.The second skit is like the first skit from "Episode 302", except this time Jamie is a crazed hockey dad. The mark is Philadelphia Flyers captain Keith Primeau, who is set up by fellow Flyer John LeClair and former Flyer/broadcaster Keith Jones. Did I mention that Primeau is notoriously aggressive, violent, and mean-spirited? Chio & Diego from pop music station Q102's morning show set up their co-host Angi Taylor. They're hosting a Philly cheesesteak-eating contest in which Jamie plays a contestant who cheats, gets disqualified... and starts a fight.

    When Jamie plays a news producer for Philadelphia's WB17, he tests an auditioning news anchor's limits with ridiculous suggestions during a "live""broadcast.
