John Meyer

John Meyer spent his formative years working for various television news stations and sports networks, avoiding long-term contracts, so he could sneak away and travel around the world. Since its inception, he’s been the studio writer for Entertainment Tonight Canada. He has also written over a dozen award shows, including the Banff World Media Festival Awards. John lives in Toronto, but he’s probably already plotting his next trip to Europe.
