Carly Henderson is an Emmy-nominated TV host, producer and writer. You may have seen one of her celebrity interviews- some of which racked up over a million views on YouTube. Carly built her reputation for asking celebrities the questions fans really want to know while covering events like the MTV VMAs, American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards and more. She’s chatted with Hollywood's biggest stars like Selena Gomez, Blake Shelton, Kirsten Dunst, and K-Pop sensations BTS.

Carly got her start when she landed her dream job as a host on mtvU, MTV's college network, where she hosted MTV Spring Break, reported from events around the country like the South by Southwest music festival, and interviewed President Joe Biden (then VP) from his home in Washington DC.

She hosted Chicago’s live two-hour daily morning TV show The Jam, where she put her effervescent energy to good use as she woke up the city every weekday. On this talk and entertainment show, she offered her opinion on the latest entertainment news and lifestyle trends. She interviewed comedians and guests, and showed viewers the coolest things they could experience around the Windy City (while checking many off her bucket list!).

She also maintains active social media accounts (and was once the #1 trending Twitter topic in Brazil!), where she shares her experiences, documents her behind-the-scenes adventures, and connects with fans on a daily basis.

She was nominated for an Emmy for her work with the Half of Us Campaign, which helps young people struggling with mental health issues. Carly is a graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism, with a degree in Broadcast News.

Her natural curiosity, enthusiasm, and warmth help viewers experience the excitement she gets to be a part of firsthand, all while giving audiences the sense that Carly could be their new best friend. In her spare time, this Colorado native loves spending time outside, playing with her dog Waffles, and searching for the most delicious cup of coffee Seattle has to offer.
