Jill Wagner Biography

Jill Wagner is an actress, television host, and producer best known for her work on the hit ABC competition series "Wipeout," her starring roles in romantic and mystery television movies, and her performance in the Paramount+ drama "Special Ops: Lioness." Born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Wagner grew up primarily with her father, David, a former U.S. Marine, and her grandmother. She attended North Carolina State University, graduating with a degree in business management. After college, she moved to California to pursue a career in modeling and entertainment.

Wagner first gained television exposure in 2003 as a cast member on MTV's celebrity prank series "Punk'd." She went on to appear in the supernatural drama "Blade: The Series" (2006), playing Krista Starr, and later joined MTV's "Teen Wolf' as Kate Argent, a formidable werewolf hunter. Her early film credits include the horror movie "Splinter' (2008) and the action thriller "Braven" (2018), opposite Jason Momoa.

Wagner became a familiar face to television audiences as the on-location host of ABC's "Wipeout," beginning in 2008. Known for her humor, energy, and playful interactions with contestants navigating the show's outrageous obstacle courses, she remained a popular part of the program through its 2014 conclusion, with a brief departure during its run. She also hosted "Handcrafted America" on INSP, traveling across the country to meet artisans who create distinctive products using traditional techniques.

In addition to her hosting work, Wagner has built a substantial following through television movies, particularly for Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries. Her credits include the "Mystery 101" series, in which she played literature professor Amy Winslow, as well as "Pearl in Paradise," "A Harvest Wedding," and "Christmas in Evergreen: Letters to Santa.' In 2023, she took on a more dramatic role in Taylor Sheridan's "Special Ops: Lioness," portraying Bobby, a highly skilled CIA operative.

Wagner married David Lemanowicz, a former professional hockey player and military officer, in 2017. The couple have two daughters together, and Wagner is also a stepmother to Lemanowicz's daughter from a previous relationship. In recent years, she has embraced a quieter, rural lifestyle in Tennessee with her family.
