Jeanine Bartel

Jeanine was born in Long Island to a big Italian/Irish family. She used to joke that if she ever got married, instead of invites, she'd just take an ad out in Newsday. She grew up playing Barbie's and GI Joe with her brother Jim and a lot of school, bank and dolls with her imaginary friends. This career choice was a surprise to no one. Her mom and dad have always been super supportive of her career despite really pulling for a minor in Accounting. Her birth father took his own life when she was very young, hence Jeanine is an advocate for mental health and suicide prevention. These causes are extremely important to her as is giving back whenever possible. She has one daughter, Mackenzie, who could take the mic and make a go of this crazy business herself. Jeanine is very grateful, Mack would prefer to be a Veterinarian and mom who composes music on weekends! They have a blast exploring the city together and making adventures wherever they can, You can often find them shooting silly videos, making up songs and singing and dancing in the street as they make their way their way home. They are best known for their award day red carpet interviews.
