Jess Hilarious was officially named the third co-host of The Breakfast Club on Monday (Jan. 29).

Towards the end of the clip, Jess takes her seat on The Breakfast Club throne as Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy stand by her side. “Thoughts Bout Breakfast Club Be Like,” she captioned the dramatic footage.
On Wednesday (Jan. 31), Jess posted a note of gratitude to her IG. She took a victory lap and showed off the behind-the-scenes footage leading up to her big announcement. Hilarious thanked her fans for riding with her and standing by her through “every controversy.”
“What does it mean to be a fan? A person who exhibits strong interest or admiration for something or somebody,” she typed. “As someone who has millions of them, you guys make me go harder. This is strictly a post for y’all. I thank you for standing by me. Through every controversy and every hard time I’ve had in this shit, MY FANS STOOD BY ME AND NEVER LEFT? emotional as hell this morning. I will NEVER let yall down PROMISE.”
