Comedian Jess Hilarious Joins ‘The Breakfast Club’ as New Co-Host
The Breakfast Club officially announced comedian Jess Hilarious as the newest co-host of the popular syndicated radio show on Monday (Jan. 29). Hilarious will be joining current stars, Radio Hall of Famers Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy as the third piece to their daily morning program.
“I’m very excited to have Jess Hilarious join The Breakfast Club. She is a force in her own right, an actress, comedian, podcaster and now, the co-host of The Breakfast Club,” said Thea Mitchem, iHeartMedia executive vice president of programming in a press release. “Jess was the standout choice to join Charlamagne and DJ Envy to build upon The Breakfast Club’s legacy of entertaining, informing, and enlightening the community.”
“I’m looking forward to joining forces with one of the largest media platforms,” said Hilarious. “I’m confident that taking the third seat at The Breakfast Club will show people that Jess Hilarious is not just comedy, but culture.”
Hilarious previously served as a guest host on occasion after The Breakfast Club began its search to replace former co-host Angela Yee. In August 2022, Yee announced that she was leaving The Breakfast Club to begin her daily show, Way Up With Angela Yee with iHeart Radio. Since her departure, The Breakfast Club has invited numerous guests to co-host alongside Charlamagne and DJ Envy, including Ray J, Nyla Simone and more. Hilarious will officially begin her responsibilities as the show’s third co-host next Monday (Feb. 5).
On weekdays, fans can listen to The Breakfast Club from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m. ET on TheBreakfastClub.iheart.com, iHeartRadio.com and the iHeartRadio app.
