About The Guy

Born in Maine and raised in Colorado Springs – Jeff Thisted is a self-admitted “Car-Guy who has always wanted to be “America’s favorite television game-show host.”
Upon graduating from Colorado State University with a Radio and Television-emphasized Communications degree, he moved out to Los Angeles to pursue his dream.
For seven years Jeff worked as the production coordinator on “The Price is Right,” the longest running game-show in television history.

He was delighted to be able to tell Bob Barker about landing his own hosting gig.
Barker happily gave his blessing and good wishes for a long and successful hosting career.
