Jake Sasseville

Who is Jake Sasseville?

Jake Sasseville is an American media propietor, television host, producer, writer, director, author, entrepreneur, speaker and philanthropist. He became well known as the youngest host ever in late night broadcast TV history on ABC affiliates after Jimmy Kimmel Live! at age 21. He is currently the president and CEO of his development and production studio, City of Sass.

Every studio and TV network rejected Sasseville's first talk show, "The Edge with Jake Sasseville" in 2005 and 2006, when he shopped the show in Los Angeles. He got it on the air thanks to his bold and irreverent business tactics with Madison Avenue's largest clients, generating millions of dollars in advertising and endorsements outside of the typical Hollywood model. Advertisers cut checks to Sasseville's studio directly, which he then produces and distributes content from. When needed, he'll go directly to Chief Marketing Officers of fortune 500 companies, as reported by Inc Magazine.

He is the author of Slightly Famous, his first book, and is the founder of The Sasseville Institute.

Sasseville was named by the White House as one of the top entrepreneurs in America in 2012. He's a frequent keynote speaker, selected engagements include Bono's One Conference, the David Letterman Lecture Series, the National Association of Television Programming Executives, the United Nations World Food Program among others.
