Jonathan Scott was born February 19, 1955 and grew up in Chicago. He started performing at 5 years old charging kids a nickel to see his Grandparents French Poodle, Pierre, bounce a balloon on his nose while doing simple sleight of hand magic tricks.

When Jonathan was a little older his grandparents drove him to Marshall Field’s (a very large department store in downtown) where he performed more magic tricks just outside the main doors of the store.

Performing is in Jonathan’s blood and he attended the Miller School of Broadcasting. In his 20’s Jonathan took the stage telling jokes at Chicago’s Playboy Club- winning a trip to the opening of the Playboy Hotel & Casino, Atlantic City.

Jonathan then relocated to Phoenix, Arizona and produced his first television show called “Weekend In Phoenix” putting musical acts on stage. This was before MTV. Realizing that he was too young for the retirement setting in Phoenix - Jonathan returned to his hometown Chicago and auditioned for the famed “Second City” where he studied and performed Improvisational Theater.

Hosting Promotional Events on Rush Street Jonathan’s first sponsor was Budweiser on a show called “the ’57 Chevy Give Away Game Show” which kept contestants coming back for 13 weeks to win the Grand Prize of yes, a 1957 fire engine red convertible Chevy.

Scott’s next live promotional show was “Rock Star Bowling” which pitted The Four Tops against The Chi-Lites in a Soul Bowl and next, The Turtles against The Shadows of Knight and The Buckinghams. Brandon Tartikoff, the Chairman of NBC considered the show as a replacement for SNL (Saturday Night Live) but, went with wrestling instead.

The next television series was called, “That’s Chicago” and it was the beginning of a series of “Around Town” shows with rotating guest hosts and stars that were performing in the Windy City. “That’s Chicago” aired Live on WPWR Ch. 50, Chicago which was a Spanish speaking station during the day and an English speaking station at night.

Jonathan’s production services were called upon by management to help produce, “The Invasion of Menudo”, with a young 16 year old, Ricky Martin. The mainstays of entertainers were the comedians who were hanging around Second City and Zanies Comedy Clubs.

“StreetBeat” was the next “around town” show. “The beat of the street, the beat of the city” was its’ tag line.

After a couple of years banging around Wells Street and Rush Street Jonathan was invited into the world of Corporate Entertainment producing Awards Shows, New Product Roll Outs and lots of “meet and greets” around the country.

In 2006 Jonathan Scott made Las Vegas, Nevada his home. He was involved with COMDEX and Ziff-Davis became Jonathan’s account creating the Land of Oz at the Riviera Hotel and helping with the ground breaking of the Sands Expo center.
