Jason Guy

Jason Guy is not only a journalist, but a former reality TV star and radio host. He co-anchors WESH 2 News Sunrise and WESH 2 News at Noon.

His career first started at the age of 18, as host of a weekly teen program on the Fox affiliate in Mobile, Ala. During that time, he also hosted one of the Gulf Coast’s highest rated morning shows on Mobile radio station WBHY-FM. He worked in radio for several years, before joining a local video production company.

After that, his focus turned to reality TV. In 2002, he auditioned for and won a place as a “houseguest” (a.k.a. competitor) on the third season of the CBS reality show Big Brother. He made it to the “final three” of that show and was named the most popular houseguest with an overwhelming 82 percent of the viewer vote. Following the show, Jason worked in casting for NBC’s The Biggest Loser, the CW’s Beauty and the Geek and CBS’ The Amazing Race.

Then, he joined WRIC-TV in Richmond, Va., as a traffic reporter before becoming a reporter and fill-in anchor. He was at WRIC for more than three years before joining WESH 2 News in September 2009.

Jason and WESH 2 News co-anchor Meredith McDonough anchored breaking coverage of a high-speed car chase which led to an Associated Press award and Emmy award. The live coverage unfolded over 40 minutes and came to an end when the suspect T-boned another vehicle at an intersection.

Jason is married and a father of two girls, Quinn and Grace (both born here in central Florida). He also is the proud “father” of a senior-aged basset hound, Tanner.
