He is also the host of audio documentary Making MASTERPIECE, which explores the history of the venerable cultural touchstone and was released in February 2021 to coincide with MASTERPIECE’s 50th anniversary. Making MASTERPIECE was named a 2022 Webby Award Honoree for Podcast Limited Series, Entertainment and was awarded a silver Signal Award (and the Listener’s Choice award) in January 2023. In 2024, MASTERPIECE Studio was awarded a People’s Voice Webby Award for Best Film/TV Podcast (alongside entries from Netflix and HBO) for our Endeavour: The Story So Far episode — and was also named an honoree in the Interview/Talk Show category for our Sanditon finale interviews with series leads Rose Williams and Crystal Clarke. Also in 2024, the Signal Awards decorated MASTERPIECE Studio with both a Gold medal and the Listeners’ Choice Signal Award for Best Host, Individual Episode for my interview with Helena Bonham Carter.

Both a Twitter hashtag and a television character have been named after him.

As a screenwriter, his work has won or placed in more than 25 script competitions, including the Austin Film Festival.

Jace was the entertainment editorial director of BuzzFeed, where he oversaw the editorial direction of the site's film and television coverage, and the deputy west coast bureau chief for The Daily Beast/Newsweek, where he also served as the site's chief television critic. Before moving into that position in 2012, he was the TV Columnist for The Daily Beast/Newsweek, writing for both the online and print divisions of the media company. He is also the founder of Televisionary, an award-winning television website that focused on U.S. and U.K. television programming, news, reviews, and exclusive interviews that began in February 2006 and attracted a wide swath of industry readers.

He holds a Bachelor's degree in English Literature from Cornell University College of Arts and Sciences and a Master's degree in Journalism and Mass Communications from New York University. He also studied Literature at Oxford University (Wadham College, to be precise).

Before embarking on a career in journalism, Jace worked in the television industry for more than seven years, both on the domestic and international sides — in development, co-productions, and acquisitions for such companies as British Sky Broadcasting and Lionsgate Television.

Jace has lived in New York, Britain, and Los Angeles. He currently resides in Portland, Oregon.
