Known for his intensity and commanding presence, Jeffrey Dean Morgan is a performer who leaves a lasting impression. Often regarded as one of Hollywood’s underrated gems, he has left a mark with his roles in series like The Walking Dead as well as movies such as Watchmen, and has demonstrated his ability beyond these recognizable characters.

With gut-wrenching twists, like his memorable appearance on Grey’s Anatomy as a heart transplant patient who fell in love with a doctor, he has demonstrated his command of drama. This plot continues to be among the most emotional and sob-worthy arcs of the series. And who could forget his endearing, funny, and firmly ingrained performance as a private investigator and love interest for Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) in the Emmy-winning last season of The Good Wife? His portrayal made him feel like he’d been a part of the series its entire run. Morgan just has all the qualities of a true acting legend.

So, when the news broke that he would be stepping into the host role for NBC’s new reality series, Destination X, many fans, including Morgan himself, probably thought, “Huh?”

But Morgan isn’t just the host; he’s also an executive producer, bringing his signature charm and gravitas to every moment. This unique competition series follows a group of contestants embarking on a mysterious road trip. Aboard a blacked-out bus, they face thrilling challenges that offer tantalizing location clues while simultaneously being led astray. It transforms the entire journey into a high-stakes, real-life game of deduction as they race to pinpoint their destination.

For Morgan, taking on the hosting gig was entirely new territory, and he admitted he was hesitant at first. However, with the encouragement of his wife, who has previous hosting experience, and the support of NBC, he decided to embrace the challenge. He spoke about wanting to push himself and explore something different. (Click on the media bar below to hear Jeffrey Dean Morgan.)
