    SHORT BIO: On-air, I’m a seasoned host, creator, and producer with game shows, talk shows, news & entertainment shows, and hundreds of one-on-one celebrity interviews behind my belt. I've grilled Oscar the Grouch about his trash can, bonded over hair bonnets with Queen Latifah, and given my opinion on kid leashes, spankings, sports bras, and more.

    As a shopper, at The New York Times, I'm the health expert for our product review vertical, Wirecutter. I shop for the best products and then I take care of my skin and body so that others can do so, too. It is a dream beat and I work with some of the most incredible people in the world.

    As a writer, I’m a USA Today and New York Times best-selling author, with multiple books published for children, teens, and adults.



    MORE FORMAL SHORT BIO: Nancy Redd is an award-winning on-air host, a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, a two-time Mom's Choice Award winner, an NAACP Image Award nominee for outstanding literary work, and a GLAAD Media Award nominee for outstanding digital journalism.
