Jon Santos TV Host, Comedian

They’re a class of their own. Outsiders standing in. And they always wantto be different. And the more they stand out from the rest, the more we want them.

Twelve years ago, Tessie Tomas was invited as guest speaker for Jon’s junior marketing association in UP. He went up for an autograph and upo0n the cajoling of friends, impersonated the master impersonator himself. Entertained, Tessie invited him to join her group.

He just got accepted for a teaching post when again, Tessie urged him to try the comic circuit for a year, and he never stopped since then. He has campaigned for Ralph Recto to stand in for Ate Vi, exchanged small talk with former president Fidel Ramos over cigar, made Charo Santos realize that She Has Arrived. And after doing countless personalities, Jon Santos is appearing more often as Himself these days, as the funnyman chef for Sara TV and Ispup on television. If Jon weren’t in show business he would be an Economics Teacher.
