George Mallet is excited to be part of the TODAY’S TMJ4 team after more than 20 years in journalism. George’s career began in 1983 at The Associated Press in New York City. But the television bug bit him quickly when he ventured across Rockefeller Center to join NBC News as a desk assistant.

George’s first on-air job was at KUAM in Guam, but it was a short stint. After two loads of wash, he decided to return to the mainland for a position at WITN in Washington, North Carolina. George’s next stop was WTVD, the ABC-owned station in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina where he reported and anchored the 5:30 evening news. During his 12 years in the South, George covered every hurricane to hit the fragile barrier islands of the Carolinas. He was always the first reporter out the door to cover breaking national news stories, including the Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta and the crash of TWA Flight 800 off Long Island.

In 1997, George moved to Philadelphia and joined WTXF, where he quickly won two Emmy awards for his coverage of spot news. After six years of reporting and anchoring the weekend broadcasts, George began hosting Good Day Philadelphia. During his time on Good Day, George covered the Triple Crown races of Philadelphia Colts' Smarty Jones, Afleet Alex, Barbaro and Hard Spun. He continued hosting the early-morning program until joining TODAY’S TMJ4 in the fall of 2007.

A graduate of the University of Delaware, George is an avid outdoorsman. He spends his free time jumping and galloping his appendix quarter horse, Jenkins. George and Jenkins compete annually in the The Willow Hill Riding Club Horse Show in Fredonia. They've won ribbons in both jumping and equitation.
