Jenny Jones is best known for hosting the nationally syndicated talk show "Jenny Jones,” but “talk show host” is just one of Jones’ many careers which have included waitress, bookkeeper, temp worker, fashion model, caterer, comedian, musician, singer, songwriter, and author. Born to Polish immigrant parents, Jenny grew up in London, Ontario, Canada. Her entertainment career began as a teen when she toured Canada and the U.S. as a drummer in a rock ’n’ roll band. In 2003, Jenny’s talk show completed its successful run, joining the ranks of only a handful of daytime shows to sustain for over a decade. A longtime advocate for women's health, Jones has served as honorary chairperson for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation's Chicago Race for the Cure, an annual event that raises awareness and money for breast cancer research. Jenny’s biography, Jenny Jones: My Story was published in 1997 with 100% of Jenny’s profits going to breast cancer research. In 2006, her cookbook, Look Good, Feel Great was published and again, Jenny is donating 100% of her profits to breast cancer research at City of Hope.
