Early life


Jeanne attended San Pasqual High School in Escondido, California from 1980 - 1984 where she was captain of the cheerleading squad and demonstrated that she could sing.
Prior to breaking into television, Zelasko was a radio personality known as "Jeanne Z."

The Ernie Harwell interview


While covering the 2005 Major League Baseball All-Star Game in Detroit's Comerica Park, Zelasko angered many fans for her treatment of legendary broadcaster Ernie Harwell. Many didn't like the way Zelasko abruptly--and in many fans' eyes, awkwardly--cut Harwell off just 17 seconds into a pre-game interview, as Harwell was detailing the accomplishments of famous Tiger Al Kaline.[1]
