Jackie Taylor is an avid do-it-yourselfer with a background in comedy and theatrical performance. As the popular host of the Do-It-Yourself: Her segment on UPN31 in Sacramento, California, Jackie combines her background as a comedienne with her love for home-improvement projects. A native Californian, Jackie got her on-camera start by hosting the California Lotto show, bringing a new face and feel to the weekly picks. She has also appeared on HGTV's Gardening by the Yard With Paul James. Jackie is a frequent guest onstage at comedy clubs and has studied comedy at the popular improv school Groundlings.
Jackie loves to share her quick wit and handy how-to tips with homeowners across the country who are looking to improve their outdoor spaces. She enjoys getting in the middle of the projects featured on the show and works as hard as the homeowners to transform their yard from drab to delightful.
Whether it's putting in a stone patio or using an auger to dig postholes, Jackie is ready to work, with a wisecrack waiting, on DIY Network's Grounds for Improvement.
