Jared Hacker is a Brooklyn-based producer originally from Allentown, PA (this is the point where someone typically makes a Billy Joel reference to him). He has produced television shows for MTV, truTV, Comedy Central, A&E, History Channel, PBS, TLC, Animal Planet, as well as a variety of content for brands such as Jameson Whiskey, Avion Tequila, & Martell Cognac.

He is a self-proclaimed Jared-Of-All-Trades also dabbling in photography, editing, graphic design, and acting. In 2016, he appeared as a lead actor in the indie horror feature "Hell House, LLC” and then reprised his role in 2019 for the final movie in the trilogy, "Hell House LLC 3: Lake of Fire,” both of which are currently streaming on Amazon Prime, iTunes, Shudder, and other platforms. Prior to Pandemia, he could also be seen performing comedy around NYC with his long-running improv group Out of the Woods or his sketch/improv group Scorpion Bowl.

He's left-handed, plays the drums right-handed (because that's just the world we live in), and has never refused a slice of pizza.
