Shane Tallant Biography

Shane Tallant is a two time Emmy award winning host and journalist, known for being the former host of "Designed to Sell."

After finishing a successful collegiate baseball career at NCAA div. II Flagler College, Tallant went to work as an Entertainment Reporter for FOX 30 News in Jacksonville, Florida. Tallant quickly became highly recognizable around town and could be seen at major sporting events, concerts and festivals as the face of the station.

Following two years in Jacksonville, Tallant moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and became the entertainment reporter for the world famous KDKA-TV. It was here that he honed his journalistic and producing skills, covering everything from major concerts, co-hosting The Jerome Bettis Show and producing and hosting station promotions. While in Pittsburgh, Tallant was recognized as one of Pittsburgh's 50 Finest; and award given to the most successful professional men and women in town.

Tallant next moved to San Francisco where he served as the main host for The MIXX and The Daily MIXX, two popular entertainment programs on the WB affiliate (KBWB). Tallant became respected member of the NATAS (National Academy of Television Arts and Science) and BFCA (Broadcasts Film Critics Association of America). As a film critic as well as a successful entertainment host, Tallant interviewed virtually all of Hollywoods A-list, traveled abroad for world premieres and was often found on the red carpet of major motion pictures in Los Angeles and New York.

While working on the West Coast, Tallant won an Emmy in 2005 For Best Program Host.

In early 2006, HGTV (Home and Garden Television) contacted Tallant and his management about becoming the host of the networks highest rated show, "Designed To Sell." This was a different road from entertainment reporting, but an avenue that would allow Tallant the chance to work for a great network, host an unscripted program and help families sell their homes. Tallant accepted their offer and moved to Washington, DC in April of that year. Tallant spent the next 3 1/2 years hosting Designed to Sell. Tallant, alongside the other cast members and Edelman Productions produced over 90 episodes (7 seasons). It was during this time that Tallant became known for his now infamous tagline, "Lets sell this place."

In late 2009, Tallant wanted to get back into reporting and hosting so he moved to Nashville, Tennessee to host Tennessee Mornings. Airing LIVE weekdays on FOX17 (WZTV), Tallant took over for longtime host Charlie Chase and quickly became a staple in town. His quick wit and unique sense of humor was a breath of fresh air for the Nashville audiences. So much so that in 2010, Tallant was awarded his second EMMY for his role in hosting the BEST MORNING SHOW. In the 10 year span of the program, it was its first ever EMMY win. Additionally, less than a year after moving to town, Tallant was chosen as the #2 Favorite News Anchor by Nashville Scene Magazine and as one of the 25 Most Beautiful People by Nashville Lifestyles Magazine.

In October of 2010, Tallant left Tennessee Mornings to venture out on his own and pursue his real passion, country music programming. In February of 2011, Tallant launched Music City 411, a Nashville based entertainment magazine show with a focus on country music. Music City 411 is a unique, fresh and funny look into country music scene. Tallants personality and experience allows the artists to feel comfortable with him and it always makes for an entertaining interview.
