Jeff Houghton Biography

Jeff Houghton is a professional emcee, TV host, comedian, and motivational speaker. He is a 4-time Emmy Award-winning host of the syndicated late-night talk show, "The Mystery Hour with Jeff Houghton," airing on FOX, NBC, ABC, & CW affiliates around the country. Houghton's work has been featured on CNN, BBC, Huffington Post, NPR, Time, Today, and more. He has also received the Navigator Award from the Missouri Department of Tourism and was named 417 Magazine's Entertainer of the Year.

Houghton is known for his quick wit and his ability to read the room, make cohesive transitions, and create a "you had to be there" experience. He knows both how to add the right amount of humor to a moment and when to employ a softer touch. As a skilled stand-up comedian, Houghton has performed at venues like the Comedy Store and has trained at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade.

Houghton's experience extends beyond entertainment; he travels nationally and internationally for events, working with brands such as Walmart, Aflac, H&R Block, Virgin Mobile, 7-Eleven, and Fossil in various capacities. He has successfully hosted high-end fundraisers, cumulatively raising over $100 million. Additionally, Houghton is the creative director for The Writers' Room Creative Comedy Agency. His viral video "Instagram Husband" has accumulated more than 60 million views, popularizing a globally recognized term.

Houghton's approach to events is highly personalized; he invests time to understand the essence of each event, aiming to integrate seamlessly rather than just performing as a hired presence. His commitment ensures that each event is memorable and tailored to the audience's expectations.
