The Crown Network Welcomes Natalie Jones: Host of The Nat Jones Show and Creator of Nat Tries That

CINCINNATI,OH—The Crown is thrilled to introduce Natalie Jones as host of The Nat Jones Show, and creator of the video series Nat Tries That. A proud Cincinnati native, Natalie brings a perspective on this city that’s personal, grounded, and comical, and now she has the chance to share her energy and personality on not one, but two of The Crown’s most distinctive programs.

After earning her Communications degree from the University of Cincinnati, Natalie didn’t take the expected path. She dove into stand-up comedy, discovered a deep love for connecting with audiences, and spent years traveling the country from the Carolinas to Colorado to Los Angeles. That experience shows up in everything she does on camera: she’s comfortable, quick-witted, and she knows how to engage an audience.

Life eventually brought her back to Cincinnati, and almost immediately, a media career came calling. She spent eight years behind the microphone at WKRQ 101.9, becoming a beloved voice in the market. Now she’s headed from the airwaves to the screen with The Crown.

The Nat Jones Show, a sit-down interview-style program, will give Natalie the chance to take a deeper look at the people and experiences that make Cincinnati special.

On Nat Tries That, an online video series, Natalie turns her appetite for adventure loose on everything the Queen City has to offer. It’s a lookbook into one woman’s undying curiosity, one experience at a time. Both of Natalie’s shows form a content universe that’s entirely her own.

“Life is meant to be enjoyed. That’s really what has guided me in developing these shows for The Crown. I want audiences to feel joy when they join me every week and understand that curiosity is a gift that should be explored every day.”

Off camera, Natalie is exactly who she appears to be on it. She DJs around town, hosts events, and makes TikToks with her nieces and her mom. Natalie’s deep community involvement, natural engagement with people, love of trying new things, and genuine affection for Cincinnati make her the perfect voice to explore and celebrate the city in a way that feels personal, warm, and real.

“Anyone who knows Natalie knows there is just something special about the way she connects with people,”said D.J. Hodge, President of The Crown.“She has this rare ability to make people feel comfortable, included, and genuinely entertained, without ever feeling forced. That warmth, curiosity, and natural sense of humor are what make her so easy to root for and so fun to watch.”
