Best of 2025: Jim Carrey Inducts Soundgarden
29 Dec 2025 By Tommy Pihl (Editor-in-Chief)
While 2025 didn't bring many public appearances from Jim Carrey, one event stood out as a major highlight: on November 8, he took the stage at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles to induct Soundgarden into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Joining him was Lilly Cornell Silver, daughter of the late Chris Cornell, adding extra significance to the occasion.
Jim shared personal memories of first meeting the band in 1996 on Saturday Night Live and expressed admiration for their groundbreaking sound. His speech mixed humor, sincerity, and rock-and-roll passion, reflecting on Soundgarden’s rise from the Seattle grunge scene, Chris Cornell’s legendary voice, and the band’s lasting impact on music.
“Tonight, we make sure that Chris Cornell, Kim Thayil, Hiro Yamamoto, Matt Cameron and Ben Shepherd go down in history as one of the most majestic, powerful and influential bands ever to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.”
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame ceremony streamed live on Disney+ and is now available on-demand, with Jim’s tribute appearing at hour 2, minute 32.
