Hi, I’m Heather!
Welcome to my weird and wonderful world as an actor, comedian, and journalist. I hope you poke around and find something that makes you smile!
As Seen On…
About Heather
Many, many years ago, Heather said goodbye to her home state of Oklahoma to follow her dreams in Hollywood!
Since then, she’s been hovering on the cusp of stardom, waiting for her close-up. So far, she’s racked up a couple of Emmy Awards as a journalist, comedian and TV host. She also created the Webby Award-winning podcast, Motherhood in Hollywood (seriously, you should check it out!), co-hosted the Brooker Family POPcast with her husband Chris and daughter Channing. And now hosts Entertain Me with Heather Brooker on iHeartRadio.
Heather has appeared in over 40 films and TV shows, including “Grey’s Anatomy,” “The Office,” “Fresh Off The Boat,” “The Mindy Project” and more. Heather was in the unprecedented role of digital entertainment reporter for KNBC in Los Angeles, where she regularly interviewed celebrities and other luminaries in Hollywood.
On Motherhood in Hollywood, Heather discussed her two passions — parenting and show business — and has a hilariously addictive, tell-it-like-it-is personality. In the 10 years since creating Motherhood in Hollywood, Heather has built a community of nearly 1 million followers across her social media and online platforms. (Follow along…it’s fun!)
She recently spoke at the GirlUp Leadership Summit alongside Michelle Obama, Hillary Clinton and Meghan Markle about gender equity and body positivity and is passionate about empowering women to love their bodies of every shape and size.
She lives in Los Angeles with her husband Chris, and 12-year-old daughter Channing, who is also a very talented actress!

I’m in movies and on TV!
Sometimes I get to be an actor (when producers and directors come to their senses and cast me). Otherwise, I’m watching and cheering on my fellow actors and showbiz peeps. Check out some of the shows I’ve been in, like “The Office”, “Grey’s Anatomy” “The Mindy Project” and more!
O N - C A M E R A P E R S O N A L I T Y and JOURNALIST
You think I’m just a pretty face?
I can also ask thoughtful questions and cover a red carpet with sass and charm. I’m a journalist with a passion for balanced, meaningful storytelling. Whether I’m covering the Emmys and Oscars, chatting up a big celebrity about their new project, or social issues that impact my community, it’s always about a good story.

My favorite role of all is mom to my girl Channing!
I somehow convinced my family to host a podcast with me! It’s called the Brooker Family POPcast and it was the first family-friendly pop culture and entertainment podcast for parents AND kids!
And if you want to hear the good, the bad, and the funny side of parenting in Hollywood, I created a podcast called Motherhood in Hollywood to swap stories with other parents and friends about juggling our love of family and showbiz.
Entertain Me with Heather Brooker is a new iHeartRadio show where I cover entertainment news from SoCal to the Silver Screen. You can also hear my live entertainment reports every Friday on KFI’s Gary and Shannon show!
There are hours of interviews to choose from, so you better get started!

I always dreamed of being in front of the camera.
Now I also get to control what goes on behind the camera as I share about my adventures with my family, on the red carpet, and around the world. Join in the fun with me from Disney and Universal to Palm Springs and Paris as I share tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way.
Listen up.
