Rashida Jones

Executive Producer, Evening Programming
The Weather Channel

She may share a name with the actress, but Jones is in a class by herself when it comes to transforming Weather’s evening lineup from forecast-only fare to a mix of long-form series and specials that highlight both Mother Nature’s grace and wrath. Jones, whose second child was born days before this interview, has a solid handle on the life-work balance. “I accepted the fact that it is OK to not be perfect all the time,” she says. “There will be times where my family will have to bend a bit more to make my career soar, and times where I’ll have to give more time to my family.”
