She may be best known for her role as Tahani on NBC’s The Good Place or as the host of TBS’ The Misery Index, but in April, Jameela Jamil will be settled in on the 2024 NAB Main Show stage at the LAs Vegas Convention Center.
Jamil will deliver a content creation keynote on the essence of authenticity, moderated by celebrity interviewer and therapist Kara Mayer Robinson. Mayer Robinson hosts the podcast Really Famous, which has featured intimate talks with stars like Meredith Vieira, Tim Gunn, and Skip Bayless.
Jamil will discuss the importance of maintaining one’s identity in the face of challenges posed by various media platforms, including lessons learned during her activism with the I Weigh movement.
The session is scheduled for Tuesday, April 16, from 3 – 4 p.m.
NAB EVP of Events Chris Brown said, “Jameela is an inspiration, using her voice and platform to promote positivity and empowerment. Her unique perspective and proven success make her uniquely qualified to stir the imagination of our attendees as they chart their own journeys within the world of content creation.”
Additionally, the Main Stage will host discussions on the future of filmmaking with Decentralized Pictures and a panel including Roman Coppola and Mena Suvari. YouTube influencer Casey Neistat will also speak, urging creators to surpass their limitations and embrace innovation.
The NAB Show will also feature an impressive lineup of honorees, including Jennifer Hudson, who will receive the Television Chairman’s Award, and Donnie Simpson, who will be inducted into the NAB Broadcasting Hall of Fame for his 55-year radio career.
