Media Stars You’d Never Guess Came From Small Towns


As much as I love the grit and hustle of New York, there will always be a special place in my heart for small towns — and for people who were raised in such places and experienced much success upon relocating to intimidating large cities.

It’s even better to see them on TV, as they provide a sense of hope for folks outside NYC and DC who dream big and of eventually making a name for themselves. Here are some awesome television personalities who grew up in locations far removed from the media world and maintained their small town pride and charm all the while.

    I’d suggest some of these aren’t small cities though.

    Flagstaff has 60,000 people.
    Fairbanks has over 30,000 people.

    The rest are small-town for sure.

    what about any of these women would prevent me or anyone else from guessing whether or not they hail from a small town?…  why in this day and age is it a surprise to anyone where a national media star could be born?…

    next week:  leaders of the free world you’ll be shocked to learn were born in locales such as plains, georgia and hope, arkansas…

    I realize that, but Flag and Fairbanks are far removed from the media world. Fairbanks was also much smaller when Powers was growing up. Pavlich lived on an isolated road in the mountains of Arizona.

    Actually it’s not a surprise. I think it’s great. It’s nice to see people from places other than NYC make it in media.

    Calling a lot of them ‘Stars’ is a bit of a stretch.

    Media Stars You’d Never CARE Came From Small Towns

    Warren Township is not really a ‘small town’ in the truest sense…it’s standard dense NJ suburbia and hardly outside of metropolitan influence. It seems as if you haven’t really done your hw here

    Understood. I live near unincorporate communities so I understand small. :)

    um no it doesn’t have very many residents and it was much smaller a long time ago…
