He hosts the Top 40 radio show, “JoJo On The Radio,” which airs on the number one station in Los Angeles, KIIS-FM, and is nationally syndicated in more than 60 markets. In addition, JoJo co-hosts the MSN Internet show, “Go See This Movie,” and has been a celebrity commentator on numerous shows including: CNN’s “Showbiz Tonight”, MTV’s “US Weekly’s Top 10 Moments of ‘The Hills’ special,” “KTLA Morning News”, “E!

JoJo was raised near Houston, Texas. While growing up, he was extremely shy and, today, still considers himself as being relatively shy off-air.
JoJo is an on-air personality featured across multiple media platforms, including: radio, television, film, and the Internet.
JoJo’s radio career began the summer before he started high school, while working for KBUK in Baytown, TX. As a high school student working a lower-level position at the station, JoJo learned that the overnight host had been arrested for writing bad checks. JoJo offered to fill in and since no one else was available, he got his big break. Shortly after, JoJo was offered his first on-air, overnight slot. From there, he went on to land jobs at larger stations, such as: San Francisco’s KYLD (Top 40/Rhythmic), Dallas’ KHYI (Pop), Charlotte’s WCKZ (Top 40/Rhythmic), and Anaheim’s KEZY (Top 40).
Year after year, he continued working his way up the ladder, first landing the overnight shift at KIIS-FM/Los Angeles and finally becoming the on-air host for the prestigious station’s night show. The “JoJo On The Radio” show is well known for its extreme interaction with listeners, as well as its two recurring segments: “Question of the Night” and “Stunt Team.” The show’s current stunt team members are Karli from the Block and TJ Rhymes. Previous members include: Fat Daniel, Geena The Latina, and Manny On The Streets.
In September 2011, JoJo launched his XM Satellite Radio show, JoJo Wright Live!
Every year, KIIS-FM holds a local, touring concert hosted by JoJo. The JoJo Jam Tour travels to local high schools and has been a featured event at Universal CityWalk Hollywood and Knott’s Berry Farm. Past JoJo Jam artists include: Rihanna, Flo Rida, Jason Derulo, Jay Sean, Orienthi, Ashlee Simpson, and Three 6 Mafia.
JoJo has conducted many exclusive interviews and experienced many once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, thus far in his career. In 1993, JoJo had the chance to host one of Brandon Lee’s final interviews before his passing. In both 2000 and 2001, JoJo was a backstage reporter at the Radio Music Awards (ABC). Also in 2001, JoJo was a presenter at FOX’s “Teen Choice Awards.”
