He was the New York correspondent for Young Hollywood, a special correspondent for Extra .

Baruch Yehudah Shemtov was born in Philadelphia on September 22, 1987 to Chantzie Annette Meth (née Waldman) and Dr. Menachem Mendel Shemtov, a urologist (son of Abraham Shemtov). [2] [3] His family moved to Manhattan when he was a year old.
Growing up, Shemtov enjoyed spending time in art galleries and antique shops, [4] and at eight years old he was designing his own fashion lines with magic markers and construction paper. [5] For a history paper in grade eight, he researched Ralph Lauren as having had a significant impact on American history. [2] [3] [6] [7] [8] Shemtov attended the Ramaz School, and by his senior year he had completed classes at the Fashion Institute of Technology [9] [10] and interned with Jonathan Adler [7] [9] [11] and Ralph Lauren Corporation. [8]
When Shemtov was fifteen years old and "fed up with his school dress code", [12] he turned a "very typical powder-blue cowboy bandana" into a necktie and wore it the next day. [8] "People loved it and wanted me to make it for them," he shared with CNN in 2005. [12] Shemtov also came up with a new concept which he named the "double tie," a necktie with a second tie stitched on its top half. [3] [12] [13]
Aside from fashion and design, Shemtov made his on-camera debut as the narrator for Chabad.org's "Chanukah Play" when he was five years old. [14]
He graduated from high school in 2005 and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from Harvard College in 2009. Shemtov attended Harvard Business School from 2013 to 2014, but took a leave of absence to pursue his media career.
In 2003, at age fifteen, Shemtov pitched his hand-stitched prototype neckties to retailers and began working with a New York manufacturer to produce them. [12] His ties debuted at Jelly in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, [2] and were then sold at Cantaloup and Takashimaya [3] where his first collection, consisting of his signature “double tie,” a kimono tie, and a bold metallic mesh tie, [15] sold out. [2] [7] His ties were modeled at New York Fashion Week in Bryant Park later that year. [12]
Shemtov's story garnered press around the world, and he was featured in The New York Times , [3] New York , [7] The Times , [10] Toro , [8] GQ (Japanese edition), and other publications. [12] He also made appearances with his designs on CNN, [12] E!, PBS, and NBC, including a special story on The Today Show . [16] In a few early press interviews, Shemtov shared that he hosts all his business meetings at The Carlyle [2] [3] and that he got some of his best business advice from Donald Trump, who told Shemtov, "Sell a lot of ties." [7] [17]
In 2005, Shemtov began designing women's T-shirts. He launched a limited edition collection that premiered alongside his neckties at Kaje on Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles. [15] They were later sold at Fivestory on New York's Madison Avenue. [18]
Shemtov was a finalist in Russell Simmons' Race to BE entrepreneurship competition, and opened the New York Stock Exchange with Simmons in November 2008. [19] Shemtov was also featured in an episode of PBS's Biz Kid$ and closed the NASDAQ with the show in April 2009. [20] [21]

He soon became the official New York correspondent for the network, and worked there through 2015. [25] In 2012 Shemtov also began working at Waywire [26] as well as Extra where he is a special correspondent. [27]
In June 2014, Shemtov began making appearances on WNYW- FOX 5 on Friday Night Live, [28] the 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. newscasts. [29] and other segments as a freelance reporter. [30]
