JACKSONVILLE, Fla.- After 19 years of entertaining the First Coast as lovable Jacksonville Jaguars mascot Jaxson de Ville, Curtis Dvorak will now be taking his entertainment skills to a new home, First Coast News.
Dvorak is joining our team as co-host of the daily magazine show First Coast Living (weekdays at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on NBC 12) and as a entertainment and lifestyle reporter for Good Morning Jacksonville (weekdays from 4:30-7 a.m. on NBC 12 and 5-7 a.m. on ABC 25).
"I'm not dead…I'm going to do something I've done for 19 years…..entertain Jacksonville….I just won't be covered in fur.", Dvorak says of his new role.
VP/Programming Bonnie Solloway and News Director Meagan Harris know that 'the artist formerly known as Jaxson De Ville' will be a perfect addition to First Coast News – a team that prides itself on staying nimble enough to think differently, take risks and have fun.
"We look forward to unmasking and unleashing Curtis's boundless enthusiasm and considerable talents - each and every day.", says First Coast News President and General Manager Rob Mennie.
Dvorak announced his retirement from the mascot role in late June. He made a name for himself in Jacksonville and around the NFL with his unique stunts and fan-friendly appeal.
