Bio
Jordan Murphy splits his time between acting and hosting.
In between Jordan's hosting gigs, he has appeared in two primetime pilots (CBS and ABC) as well as guest star roles on CSI Miami, Parenthood, ABC's Better off Ted, Las Vegas, Charmed, The Comeback on HBO, SCRUBS and JAG to name a few. His independent features include: Layover, Cowboys and Angels, and Sabotage.
He's perhaps best known for delivering "You're Just a Tool" as the host for VH1's smash hit Tool Academy, a competition reality show featuring nine "unsuspecting bad boys" duped by their girlfriends into enrolling in a "relationship boot camp". Jordan proved successful at hosting relationship shows and tricking contestants looking for love, from his four seasons on NBC's hit reality show For Love or Money.
Jordan has also found a home producing and hosting online content with shows like Idol Talk and roicatalysts.com.
While hosting primetime, Jordan was hosting a make-over show on USA. Before and Afternoon which showed Jordan's improv skills, ease with product placement and his ability to help real people look and feel comfortable on camera ... no easy task. Jordan has shown that he feels at home in-studio, cooking and entertaining, on Fine Living's Lulu's House and seems very comfortable dusting himself off as he steps out of a helicopter on the edge of the Grand Canyon to surprise a lot of smokers when he was the faux host for PAX's Cold Turkey.
