Actor and television host Jerry O’Connell has quickly become a favorite on CBS’s daytime talk show The Talk and as the host of Pictionary. O’Connell joined The Talk in 2019, becoming the show’s first male co-host after Sharon Osbourne’s departure. At the same time, he landed the job of game show host for Pictionary, which was recently renewed for a second season.
O’Connell’s energy and humor have made him a hit with viewers, but he also takes his role as a co-host on The Talk seriously. He is mindful of the opinions he shares when weighing in on current events and tries to contribute to the conversation in an honest and thoughtful manner.
While O’Connell has had a long career in Hollywood, including roles in films like Jerry Maguire and television shows like Crossing Jordan and Billions, his teenage daughters are most impressed by his appearance as “the bad boyfriend in Mariah Carey’s ‘Heartbreaker’ video.” According to O’Connell, his daughters introduce him to their friends by saying, “You might recognize him from playing the bad boyfriend in Mariah Carey’s ‘Heartbreaker’ video. Nothing else matters.”
In addition to his hosting duties, O’Connell is a devoted father to his 14-year-old twin daughters and enjoys playing games like Pictionary with them and his parents. He shares funny videos of his daily life, including driving his daughters around, with his fans on social media.
O’Connell’s success as a host and his ability to connect with viewers are sure to ensure that he will continue to be a popular figure in the entertainment industry for years to come.
