About Jason Kornblatt:

I'm a creative news producer with 23 years of experience in working under tight deadlines on live and taped broadcasts. I have a proven track record of pitching, booking, writing and producing current event, celebrity and comedy segments.  As Hot Topics producer at “The View,” I've provided on-air talent with solid guidance and research on every news, entertainment and human interest topic we've discussed over the past 17 years. I help co-hosts develop nuanced viewpoints and have written them countless jokes, including several which successfully elicited laughter, some say. I studied film making at Penn State, and parent in my spare time.
