Jason Kennedy Biography

Jason Kennedy is a nationally recognized television host and one of the most sought-after emcees for corporate, nonprofit, and charity events. Known for his quick wit, warmth, and ability to connect with any audience, Kennedy brings energy and heart to every stage he steps onto.

Kennedy was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. When he was 12, he produced a mock television news program from his custom built home studio. At 15, he was selling news footage to local crews when he arrived at the scene early. After graduating from the University of Miami, Kennedy moved to Los Angeles and within six months landed a job with the E! Network. He spent 18 years at E! as the host of "E! News" and "Live From The Red Carpet." He’s been a long time contributor to NBC’s “Today” show and has covered some of the biggest stories around the world. He’s currently guest hosting and doing high profile interviews on "Access Hollywood" and "E! News." Additionally, his latest show, “Swing By,” gives fans an inside look at PGA Tour golfers at their homes. Kennedy is also busy behind the scenes as an Executive Producer with past projects at “The Oprah Winfrey Network” and “Oxygen.”

Most recently, he hosted Olympic legend Michael Phelps’ charity event, spotlighting water safety and mental health, and co-hosted the Dream Center Gala honoring Tony Robbins. PGA Tour star Justin Thomas also tapped Kennedy to host his foundation event in Nashville, where he guided a hilarious yet meaningful on-stage conversation with some of golf’s biggest names.

Trusted by some of the most impactful organizations in the world, Kennedy regularly serves as emcee for Convoy of Hope, The Seed Company, and other global nonprofits, helping raise millions of dollars and awareness for their causes.

With years of experience as a familiar face on television and a proven track record leading live events of every scale, Kennedy is the ultimate host—professional, relatable, and unforgettable.
