Jack and Jeremy's Real Lives was a 1996 comedy show for Channel 4, written by and starring Jack Dee and Jeremy Hardy.

The series was a collection of mockumentaries similar to their previous collaboration, Jack and Jeremy's Police 4. Each episode focused on the pair playing bizarre characters from a particular profession. The series was shot on film and featured no laugh track. The pilot featured Sacha Baron Cohen being electrocuted.

After three episodes it was moved to air after midnight due to low ratings.^{[citation needed]}
