She joins DJ Envy and Charlamagne Tha God on WWPR (Power 105.1)/New York morning show which is syndicated by Premiere Networks on nearly 100 radio stations across the U.S. A Baltimore native, Hilarious is a comedian, actress and storyteller who brings everyday humor to life with her witty one-liners and sense of humor.

"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 iHeartMedia Executive Vice President of Programming Thea Mitchem. "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."

On television, Hilarious has been a standout on shows like "Rel" and "Wild 'N Out," leaving her mark on major networks. She has more than 5.5 million followers on Instagram, while her sold-out shows across the country are a testament to her stage presence and ability to weave humor into captivating stories.
