Roz Weston

Roz Weston (born October 22, 1974) is a Canadian entertainment reporter employed by ET Canada and Toronto's Kiss 92.5.[1]

Weston interned with Howard Stern.[2] He was a producer for a Toronto-based radio morning show before joining TV station Toronto 1. While there, he hosted Toronto's first live, late night talk show Last Call. After the station cancelled that show, he joined Toronto 1's entertainment show The A-List.[3] In September 2005, when The A-List was in the middle of making changes, he made the move to Global TV's entertainment show ET Canada. On July 8, 2009, it was announced that Weston will be adding morning show host to his repertoire as the new voice of Toronto's KiSS 92.5 (formerly Jack FM).[4]

On September 17, 2011, Weston had a street named after him in his home town of Acton, Ontario.[5]

The Globe and Mail reported in 2015 that because Weston "used to feel overwhelmed every second of the day", he now practises Transcendental Meditation and says, "A 13-hour workday with five hours’ sleep is not a problem."[6]

In December 2016, Weston competed on a "celebrity" edition of cooking show Chopped Canada,[7] finishing in second place behind Steven Page.

Personal life

Weston was previously divorced. He is in a relationship with Katherine Holland; together, they have a daughter, Roxy Alabama.[8]

gollark: It's parser combinator based. I would have to somehow rewrite the grammar to get around it.
gollark: That would preclude adding extra syntax for, well, dice.
gollark: I thought about that, but people would complain and I've already overused RPN calculators a bit as website content.
gollark: ÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆA left recursionI'm trying to implement an arithmetic parser thing with parser combinators for my dice rolling thing (long story) and it just... recurses infinitely.
gollark: I duckduckgoed it, and apparently you may want to reseat it.
