Media Consultant/public speaker Success In Media Founder [Email Jess]

Jess Todtfeld is currently a producer with Cable TV’s #1 morning news show, “FOX & Friends.” 

Jess also works as a media trainer and consultant through his company, Success In Media. Training includes workshops for public relation firms on topics such as "How to pitch the media" and "Successful interviews lead to call backs." On an individual basis, Jess coaches authors, experts, and business executives on the best way to present their message to the media.

Prior to joining “FOX & Friends” in 1998, Jess spent two years with Cable’s #1 prime time show, “The O’Reilly Factor.” While on “The Factor,” Jess saw many guests that could have benefited from proper media training.

Before making his way to FOX News Channel, Jess spent two years at NBC's cable channel “America’s Talking.” The format exclusively featured talk shows. Jess worked as an Associate Producer on their quirky morning show, “What’s New,” and later on their late night talk show, “After Hours.”

The shows’ producers found Jess to be entertaining and ended up putting him on the air almost daily. First, Jess was the “Across the Street Correspondent.”  He would talk to real people, live on the air from across the street from the studio. Jess went on to shoot humorous packages that featured him as talent.

Jess has a B.S. in Film/Television from Hofstra University.
