The show ran for six episodes in late 2015. Since 2016 he has hosted the Food Network cooking competition series "Kids BBQ Championship". For the first season in 2016 his co-host was model Camila Alves, while for the 2nd season in 2017 his co-host was fellow "Food Network Star" winner (season 9) Damaris Phillips. He also infrequently served as a judge on "Clash of the Grandmas". Jackson is the current host of "Christmas Cookie Challenge" on the Food Network, as well as one of the judges.
