Brandon Johnson is an acclaimed American actor and television host. His upcoming romantic comedy, "Switch Up" (starring Cristian de la Fuente, Jeff Fahey, and Julieth Restrepo), premiered at the SXSW Film Festival.

One of his memorable projects was TNT’s reality competition show, 72 Hours, where nine strangers were dropped in remote locations such as Fiji, Tasmania, and New Zealand, competing for a $100,000 prize. Shortly after returning to the U.S., he assisted in workshopping NBC's successful singing competition "The Winner Is," collaborating with producers Craig Plestis (The Voice, The Masked Singer) and Toby Gorman (President of Universal Alternative TV), before passing hosting duties to Nick Lachey.

His work with HGTV extended as the face of "Get Out, Way Out!," a show that transformed backyards into fantasy and entertainment destinations. This led to co-hosting HGTV’s Consumer Electronics Show and the Homes and Housewares special. Between projects, he hosted two VH1 reality pilots, "Perfect" and "Pretty Smart," as well as TNT’s "The Great American Scavenger Hunt." Additionally, Brandon filmed over 100 episodes of USA’s "Character Fantasy," a show designed to boost self-esteem by helping participants live out their dreams.
