Jessica Tarlov Before Fame

Given her achievements, it’s rather obvious that Jessica Tarlov packs an impressive resume. Here’s a quick look back on her life before fame.

Early Life and Education

Jessica Tarlov was born on March 9, 1984, in NYC. Her parents are Mark Tarlov, an influential lawyer and movie producer, and Judith Roberts, a screenwriter.

With both parents successful, it’s easy to see how they influenced her character and liberal worldview later in life.

“They’re brilliant, bold thinkers who always pushed me to experiment academically and professionally,” Tarlov commented about her parents.

Tarlov attended Dalton as a prep school before studying at Bryn Mawr, graduating with a degree in history. She then went straight into grad school and pursued two master’s in public policy and survey methods.

Career History

Tarlov kickstarted her career as a project manager at Merril Lynch in 2007. In 2012, she worked under Borris Johson, London’s mayor, and planned his re-election campaign.

By 2013, she worked as a political strategist under Douglas Schoen. That same year, Tarlov made her first appearance on Fox News and has since become a regular guest and then co-host for The Five.

The Fox News host recently made news for winning the defamation lawsuit filed by Tony Bobulinski, the GOP’s Biden impeachment witness.

Final Thoughts

Jessica Tarlov is quite the star among liberals. Although polarizing in many ways, her impressive political insights and contributions have been greatly appreciated by the masses.

Now 40, she continues her TV work with great enthusiasm, and with a net worth of $8 million, she may yet decide to dip her foot in the political pool not as a strategist, but as a key player.

Hi, I’m from New Jersey. I love gazing at the stars, and ever since my grandmother passed away, I’ve felt like she’s watching over me from the sky, whether I’m feeling joyful or down. These days, I enjoy capturing moments in writing, regardless of their nature, because I believe that every experience we go through has its purpose.
