Tory Shulman is a co-host of “Daily Blast Live” (“DBL”) the only national daytime talk show airing LIVE in all time zones. Tory is a UCB improviser, stand-up comic and a Washington DC insider–so basically if Amy Poehler and Rachel Maddow had a baby–you would have Tory.
Formerly a TV/Web/Radio host based in Los Angeles, her credits include LA Talk Radio, MSN, Kin Community and Reelz Channel to name a few. For “DBL,” she recently interviewed her comedic hero and idol, Carol Burnett and traveled to London to report on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s star-studded wedding.
Born and raised in Washington, DC, just blocks from the White House, Tory is always ready for a hometown debate on political events. She’s a graduate of the University of Michigan. Tory, her husband and two rescue dogs are based in Denver.
