Who am I?
I am the Chief Content Producer-Writer of the pop culture and entertainment news website jakes-take.com and the host of its podcast companion - 'The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.' I sat down with many people in the entertainment and lifestyle industries throughout my career. I interviewed actors, comedians, Emmy-winning journalists, fitness entrepreneurs, social media influencers, musicians, podcast hosts, and Reality TV alumni from 'America's Got Talent,' 'American Idol,' 'American Ninja Warrior,' 'Big Brother,' 'Britain's Got Talent,' 'Canada's Got Talent,' 'The Challenge,' 'Survivor,' and 'The Voice.' I am also a massive superfan of all things - DC Comics, Disney, Got Talent, Marvel, Pokemon, Power Rangers, Star Trek, and Star Wars. I have always navigated towards the pop culture and entertainment world. From watching the Zordon era of 'Power Rangers' and the DC Animated Universe to 'American Idol' and 'Survivor,' along with listening to the music of Backstreet Boys, Brtiney, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, Gloria Estefan, Springsteen, and Stevie Wonder, I wanted to have a TV show where I could bring on these creators and talk with them about their projects and get to know them. I watched the great talk show masters, including David Letterman, Katie Couric, Oprah, Phil Donahue, Rosie O'Donnell, the women of 'The View,' Wendy Williams, and the late Barbara Walters, Joan Rivers, Johnny Carson, and Regis Philbin, growing up in the late 1990s through mid-2010s. I wanted to be one of my generation's best pop culture gurus and hope to inspire others.
