Jess Cagle to Host Exclusive Daily Show on SiriusXM

SiriusXM announced today that Jess Cagle, award-winning entertainment journalist and former editor of People and Entertainment Weekly, will host The Jess Cagle Show, exclusively on SiriusXM starting this fall.

The daily program, airing live from SiriusXM's Los Angeles studios, will feature pop culture news and interviews from Cagle and his co-host, SiriusXM's Julia Cunningham. Segments will include "The Jess Cagle Interview," featuring long-form conversations with the biggest stars in Hollywood.

In addition to hosting his daily show, Jess Cagle, SiriusXM's Chief Entertainment Anchor, will host special SiriusXM Town Hall events and will appear across channels. Jess Cagle will also host and produce exclusive podcasts that will be made available on Pandora, and appear in video content exclusively for SiriusXM.

"As a magazine editor, I've done a lot of work with SiriusXM," said Jess Cagle, "and the producers and executives there have been magnificent partners-smart, strategic and innovative. Over the years SiriusXM has become a kind of second home to me, and I've always wanted to do a news and talk show with a lot of humor, smart commentary, and in-depth interviews. I'm so grateful for the opportunity to make that a reality, and excited to work with SiriusXM on their growing podcast and video content. I'm also a longtime fan of Julia Cunningham, and am really looking forward to working with her every day."

"We are thrilled to announce a new live daily show hosted by Jess Cagle. It's hard to think of anyone who knows Hollywood better or could bring more insight and expertise to the conversation about pop culture. 'The Jess Cagle Show,' cohosted by Julia Cunningham, will be a destination for the biggest stars in movies and television and a must-listen for entertainment fans," said Megan Liberman, Senior Vice President of News, Talk, and Entertainment at SiriusXM.
