About this episode

Jon Taffer discusses alternative career paths he might have taken if not for his success as a television personality.

Jon Taffer is on Celebrity Jobber with Jeff Zito this week. What type of work would John be doing if not for being a New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, and television personality, best known for creating, executive producing, and hosting the Paramount Network show Bar Rescue? Many celebrities will tell you that if not for that one lucky break or meeting, they would have been working as a Beautician at a morgue, like Whoopi Goldberg, or flipping burgers at McDonald's, like Jeff Bezos. In other words, they may have been just a jobber.
