WE ARE THRILLED TO HAVE WRITER, PRODUCER, ACTOR AND SINGER SHAUN CASSIDY JOINING US AS OUR HOST

Shaun Cassidy grew up in Los Angeles and New York City. While still in high school, he signed a contract with Warner Brothers records. This led to three multi-platinum albums, numerous top ten hits, a Grammy nomination, and sold-out concerts at every major arena in the country. Almost concurrently, he starred in the ABC television series THE HARDY BOYS’ MYSTERIES. Later, while appearing on Broadway in the hit musical drama BLOOD BROTHERS, Cassidy wrote his first television pilot, AMERICAN GOTHIC, opening the door to a long-term contract with Universal Television. Cassidy went on to create, write, and produce a number of critically acclaimed television series including ROAR (starring Heath Ledger), COLD CASE, COVER ME, THE AGENCY, BLUE BLOODS, INVASION, and EMERALD CITY. For the last five years, Cassidy has served as executive producer and writer for the NBC/NETFLIX hit series NEW AMSTERDAM. In 2020, Cassidy took his one man show THE MAGIC OF A MIDNIGHT SKY to the stage, playing to SRO crowds nationwide, and in December, 2023, he closed out the tour with a final performance at the Grand Ol’ Opry.
