[edit] Professional

Montgomery first came into the public eye in 1991 as an intern at Los Angeles radio station KROQ, where she was known on the air as "The Virgin Kennedy." A year later she took a "VJ" job at MTV, where she spent several years.

Montgomery appeared as a panelist on the 1998 revival of Hollywood Squares.

In 1999, Montgomery completed her first book, Hey Ladies! Tales and Tips for Curious Girls, in which she incorporated a multitude of personal experiences. That same year, she moved to Seattle to host a talk show on KQBZ "The Buzz" 100.7 FM talk station (now country station KKWF "The Wolf"). The show was a mix of news, local issues, and comedy. Montgomery then left Seattle in 2001 to co-host a morning radio show with Ahmet Zappa on the ComedyWorld Radio Network. The show was entitled The Future With Ahmet & Kennedy, and like her show in Seattle, consisted of news and current events with a comedy bent. She later co-hosted the morning show with Malibu Dan entitled The Big House, her final show on the network before the network went off the air.

Starting June 3, 2002, Montgomery hosted Game Show Network's original program Friend or Foe?, which ran for two-and-a-half seasons. On April 1, 2003, she guest-hosted the GSN show WinTuition, normally hosted by Marc Summers, who made a "guest" appearance.

As of September 23, 2005, Montgomery appears as an occasional panelist on VH1's Best Week Ever and MSNBC's Scarborough Country. In October 2005 she became host of the Fox Reality's Reality Remix (that series ended June 2008).

In December 2007, she guest-hosted the evening show several times on Los Angeles talk radio station KFI ^[2], before being hired by the station for a regular show on Sunday afternoons from 3-5pm ^[3]. In April 2008 she joined Bryan Suits as cohost of the Kennedy & Suits Show, which runs from 7PM-10PM weekday evenings.

Kennedy's final broadcast on "Kennedy & Suits" was September 30, 2009. She now hosts "Music In The Mornings" (6am to 10 am) on KYSR 98.7 FM in Los Angeles.
