Jonathan Zaslow
Jonathan Bradley Zaslow (born January 18, 1981, in Miami, Florida) is a sports radio show host in South Florida. Formerly the host of "The Zaslow Show","Zas" currently hosts "The Zaslow and Joy Show" on The Ticket Miami, weekday mornings from 6-10am, with Jason Taylor's sister, Joy Taylor on 790/104.3 The Ticket.
Zas 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 The Ticket, 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] Zas eventually got his own show from 7pm-10pm on weekdays and in January 2009, was promoted to the 10am-12pm slot.[2] Zaslow is currently heard weekdays from 6am-10am on The Ticket Miami in the station's morning drive time slot.
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]
Since 2010, he has been the Miami Heat Radio Host, anchoring the pregame, halftime, and postgame shows for the Miami Heat Radio Network and on FM 104.3/AM 790 The Ticket. [4] He is a 2-time Championship Broadcaster.
In 2013, Zaslow was picked as the Broward Palm Beach New Times AM Radio Host of the Year.[5]
Personal life
Zaslow is married to the former Tamara Simkin who, in January 2009, gave birth to their first child, a son named Corey. In 2011, she gave birth to their second son named Jordan. Zaz is a die-hard Pearl Jam fan and has been to 19 shows. His hero is former NBA and Miami Heat forward Glen Rice. Zaslow seems to have a raging hard-on for Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose, as he finds a way to steer the direction of his show to the subject of Rose, so that he may critcize Rose's every move.
