Renowned for her humour, quick wit, and authenticity, Jessi Cruickshank is the internet’s funniest mom (Today’s Parent) and Canada’s most followed television personality on social media (Toronto Life). She is the creator behind New Mom, Who Dis? and host of some of television’s most popular programs, including The Hills After Show, CBC’s The Goods, and Canada’s Smartest Person.
Jessi became a household name as the popular host of MTV Canada’s The Hills After Show — an international smash hit that was syndicated in 10 countries, generated record-breaking ratings in both Canada and the US, and secured her two Gemini Awards.

Jessi leads an expert team in producing engaging digital videos, social media content, columns, newsletters, and more.
Jessi went on the road in 2022 with her first live, cross-Canada tour. “Up Close and Too Personal” visited seven Canadian cities with each show providing behind-the-scenes celebrity stories, fresh takes on motherhood, real-life reflections on success, prizes, games, and more.
In addition, Jessi is an in-demand host, emcee, and moderator. As a seasoned presenter, she has worked several corporate conferences, glamorous galas, cozy chats, and more.
