Jason Silva
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jason Silva (born Feb 6, 1982 in Caracas, Venezuela) is a Venezuelan-American television personality currently working as a Host and Producer on Current TV, the lifestyle network for young adults co-founded by Al Gore. He currently resides in Los Angeles.
Silva earned a degree in film and philosophy from the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. He, along with Max Lugavere, produced and starred in a documentary/performance piece entitled "Textures of Selfhood." The name for the film was taken from the Hedonistic Imperative, a website promoting the end to human suffering by philosopher David Pearce.
"Max and Jason" have become a prolific hosting and producing duo on Current, with stories ranging from illegal immigration and counterfeit IDs, to the effect of pheromones in sexual attraction, to profiling a brave new singer songwriter right before signing a publishing deal. Their story on counterfeit IDs even earned them a featured appearance and interview on Anderson Cooper 360. They have also been invited to guest host hit shows on E! and Women's Entertainment, been featured in a full-page LA Times article on Current, and have also co-hosted a panel on short-form film making at the 2006 South By Southwest festival.
