Elisa Ann Schwartz (born June 30, 1988), known professionally as Elisa Jordana, is an American radio and TV personality, musician, writer, and online talk show host. She is best known for her appearances on The Howard Stern Show and as a former member of the dance-pop band, Cobra Starship.

Education

Elisa Jordana studied in Radio, Television, and Digital Communications at Connecticut School of Broadcasting,[1] the same school fellow former Howard Stern staff member Artie Lange attended.[2] She also attended Berklee College of Music for a couple of semesters before joining Cobra Starship.[3]

Music

Jordana was an original member of the dance-pop band Cobra Starship as a keytarist and backup singer.[4] After three years in the band, she broke free to make an attempt at a solo career,[5] launching singles such as Fuck You, I'm Fine and Online Sweetheart.[6]

Radio

Jordana first made her debut on The Howard Stern Show in November 2011.[7] She was interviewed by Howard Stern about her relationship with a writer of the show, Benjy Bronk. Jordana appeared in studio nearly a dozen times after that for interviews, games, and musical performances. She was awarded the title of Miss Howard TV in May 2012.[8]

Jordana was also hired as a writer for The Howard Stern Show for four years starting from late 2011 to December 2015 before being let go due to salary cuts.[9]

Online Talk Show Host

Once she left the The Howard Stern Show, Jordana created her own talk show titled, Kermit and Friends. She started broadcasting the show on the now defunct website Spreecast in February 2015 and lasted for over a year.[10] The show was heavily featured on The Howard Stern Show and received acknowledgement from talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.[11]

Writer

After writing comedy for close to 5 years and having a successful stint as a writer for The Howard Stern Show, Jordana started to take a more serious tone in her writing and became a student of New York Times Best Selling Author Susan Shapiro. Jordana has had columns featured in XOJane,[12] Marie Claire,[13][14] Yahoo,[15] The Washington Post,[16] and The Rumpus.[17]

Television

Outside of making multiple appearances on Howard Stern On Demand, Jordana first made her television debut on the Fuse TV reality television series, Redemption Song.[18] The show was hosted by professional wrestler Chris Jericho and was based on 11 women who competed to win a record deal with Geffen Records.

In 2016, Jordana made her film debut in the SyFy television movie Sharknado: The 4th Awakens, along with her beloved dog Kermit.[19]

Radar Online confirmed in April of 2017 that Jordana signed on to become a new cast member in the Bravo reality series Vanderpump Rules.[20]
