The Breakfast Club’s latest addition, Jess Hilarious, marked her birthday with a surprise announcement – she’s expecting a baby. On her special day, her boyfriend Chris dialed into the radio show to extend his birthday wishes, but he had an even bigger surprise in store.
“Hey, baby. It’s your man. I wanted to call and say, ‘Happy birthday,’” Chris expressed, before dropping the bombshell. “I know it’s a special day for you. I can’t wait to see you. I’m so proud of you. I love that you’re staying divine all the time, and you’re such an amazing woman. I can’t wait to see you later, and I’m so excited for our little bundle of joy, babe.”
Although Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy initially acted taken aback by the news, they eventually admitted they already knew, joining in on the celebration with Jess.
“Yes I am three months,” Jess confirmed. “So I’m 13 weeks. Thank you baby, I love you!”
Jess Hilarious, known for her comedic prowess and appearances on shows like Rel and Wild ‘N Out, recently stepped into the co-host role on The Breakfast Club, succeeding Angela Yee.
Thea Mitchem, iHeartMedia’s Executive Vice President of Programming, expressed her excitement about Jess joining the team, citing her multifaceted talent and cultural impact. Likewise, Jess herself expressed enthusiasm about her new role, highlighting her aim to bring not just humor but also cultural insight to the platform.
However, the journey to Jess’s permanent position at The Breakfast Club seemed turbulent. Despite her initial announcement of joining the show in December, subsequent silence from the radio station left fans and even her future co-hosts puzzled.
In a recent interview with TMZ, Charlamagne expressed frustration about the delayed announcement, emphasizing his desire for clarity on the matter and ruling out any further guest hosts. “I am done with the rotating of the guest hosts,” he declared, echoing the sentiment of many fans eagerly awaiting Jess’s official inclusion in the lineup.
