About Jessi
Jessi Cruickshank is one-half of THE AFTER SHOW, MTV’s primetime pop culture program, where Jessi and co-host Dan Levy keep Canadians posted on the latest in the world of entertainment. Jessi and Dan chat with their AFTER SHOW “friends” and with fans across North America via webcam about the latest trending topics and the best in reality television. THE AFTER SHOW is inspired by Jessi and Dan’s highly successful THE HILLS AFTER SHOW, which follows MTV’s smash-hit series THE HILLS.
Jessi’s light-hearted personality and eclectic flair for fashion has made her a fan-favourite on MTV. Since joining MTV in March 2006, Jessi has interviewed everyone from the pop culture spectrum including the cast of THE HILLS and the blockbuster movie Twilight, along with the Backstreet Boys, Ryan Reynolds and Bill Gates. Often pushing the boundaries, Jessi gets the goods on celebs by asking the questions her viewers want to know.
Jessi’s ability to connect to her audience allows her to delve into some of the most prevalent social and environmental issues that face our world today. Jessi sat down with David Suzuki for a revealing and candid discussion about global warming and its effect on the environment. She was a guest speaker at the 2007 “Me to We” day, broadcast on MTV, where she spoke about the importance of youth activism, poverty in Africa, and how to make a positive contribution on a global scale.
Jessi travelled to the city of Udaipur, India, for the documentary MTV Presents: Jessi in India, documenting the dire circumstances children overcome in their struggling villages. Jessi is also the official ambassador for Free the Children, the world’s largest network of youth helping youth through education in third-world countries. Jessi travelled to Kenya with Free the Children and stayed in a mud hut with a traditional Massai family while filming a documentary called Harambee, which examines Kenyan social issues.
