Renowned for her humor, quick wit, and authenticity, Jessi Cruickshank has been named the internet’s funniest mom (Today’s Parent) as well as the funniest woman on television (The Province). She has hosted some of television’s most popular programs, including MTV’s The Hills After Show, CBC’s The Goods, and Canada’s Smartest Person, and is a four-time host of the JUNO Awards Gala as well as a two-time host of the CCMA (Canadian Country Music Association) Awards. In 2018, Jessi created the award-winning digital series New Mom, Who Dis? which has since transformed into a global online community and destination for candid, honest, and always funny takes on motherhood.
In 2022, Jessi hit the road with her first live, wildly successful tour, “Up Close and Too Personal”, which had twelve stops in Canadian cities, and followed up with her “Now That’s What I Call Live” tour in 2025, both of which sold out nationwide. In addition, Jessi released her debut stand up comedy special, Minivan Money, which premiered on global streaming platform, VEEPS.
Jessi’s incredibly popular weekly podcast series, Phone a Friend, debuted as the #1 comedy podcast across all platforms in 2023, and continues to attract new listeners with celebrity guests and Jessi’s signature sense of humor.
A content creator and influencer with a loyal fanbase, Jessi has launched two collaborations — including holiday wear and a summer collection— with Canadian retailer Joe Fresh, both of which sold out quickly.
Jessi is known for her advocacy work with organizations like Plan Canada and Global Citizen, and is a sought after event host for Fortune 500 companies.
Mother to twin boys, Rio and Dray, and young daughter, Romi, Jessi splits her time between Los Angeles, Vancouver, and Toronto.
