• A media favorite: Jacobs has appeared everywhere from The Oprah Winfrey Show to the Today show, Good Morning America to Anderson Cooper 360, Conan O’Brien to NPR’s Fresh Air and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

And he’s the editor-at-large at Esquire magazine, where versions of some of these experiments have appeared.
