THE STORY BEHIND THE STORYTELLER

​

Chances are that if you see a TV personality wearing a hat, it’s Doug Jessop.

​

For Doug, it all started with a cassette recorder he got for Christmas when he was 12 years old growing up in Southern California. Doug interviewed relatives, friends and anyone else that might have a good story. The broadcast bug was solidified in high school after getting 15 minutes of fame being on-air briefly at 2 major Los Angeles radio stations.

 

He focuses on the collection, preservation and distribution of diverse stories of traditions, values and culture in a weekly news series “Family Heritage Stories” that you can watch Sunday nights at 11 on ABC4 Utah through all of Utah and parts of Nevada, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado and Arizona.
