Jonathan Zaslow

Jonathan Bradley Zaslow (born January 18, 1981, in Miami, Florida) is an American sports radio show host in South Florida. "Zaz" currently hosts the "Zaslow Show" on 790 The Ticket. Zaz was raised in North Miami Beach, Florida where he attended Sabal Palm Elementary School and was a classmate of James Jones of the Miami Heat and 2011 NBA three point shootout champion. He graduated from North Miami Beach Senior High School in 1999 and was a member of the varsity basketball team. However, he was only put in the games during blowout situations. After graduating from the University of Florida in 2004, he became a producer at the newly formed 790 where he has been ever since. Zaslow originally was a producer for Craig Minervini and then became a producer for The Boog Sciambi Show hosted by Jon Sciambi. Sciambi frequently incorporated Zaslow into his show, and eventually Zaslow became known as Sciambi's "sidekick."[1] Zaz eventually got his own show from 7pm-10pm on weekdays and in January 2009, was promoted to the 10am-12pm slot.[2] Zaz's show is currently on weekdays at 7pm-10pm. Formerly, during the NHL season he hosted Panthers Unrestricted Weekend every Saturday from 9-10am with Florida Panthers play-by-play man Randy Moller where the duo looked at everything revolving around the Panthers.[3] He eventually stopped doing the Panthers weekend show and is now the host of the Miami Heat pregame, halftime, and postame shows for the Miami Heat broadcasts on 790 The Ticket.
