Welcome To The Official Website of Charissa Thompson

One of the freshest faces on television is also one of its biggest up-and-coming stars, and as she continues to rise, Charissa Thompson is making her mark across the entire Fox Cable Networks realm.

Based in Los Angeles, Thompson serves as a correspondent for BEST DAMN SPORTS SHOW PERIOD. Her quick wit made her an instant hit with the BDSSP crew and is a daily presence on the program. Thompson moderates BDSSP’s college football debates, works as a BDSSP correspondent for major sporting events and has served as a reporter on FSN’s 2007 and 2008 MLB All-Star Game Red Carpet Show and served this year as a sideline reporter for Fox NFL sunday. 

She also works for the BIG TEN NETWORK as a sideline reporter for the Saturday game of the week.

Thompson’s versatility has been on display since her first day at FSN. She co-hosts the FSN BASEBALL REPORT, serves as a reporter for FSN’s BCS SHOW and FSN BCS BREAKDOWN, contributes special web segments for foxsports.com and hosted FSN’s original rodeo competition, TOUGHEST COWBOY. And has hosted a variety of entertainment shows for AT&T blue room including red carpet events.

Thompson made her first on-air appearance for FSN on regional affiliate FSN Rocky Mountain. As a reporter for a half-hour magazine show centered on the Colorado Rockies, ROCKIES ALL-ACCESS, Thompson earned the respect of both her bosses and Rockies players with her researched, nuanced questions and comfortable delivery. Her success on that program led to her working Rockies games as the in-stadium reporter, doing live updates and interviews throughout the game.

Prior to her Rockies assignments, Thompson hosted WNBA WEEKLY as well as being the sideline reporter for men’s and women’s basketball games at both Denver University and Colorado University.

Thompson is a graduate of the University of California — Santa Barbara, where she interned at NBC and at KEYT, the ABC affiliate in Santa Barbara. Thompson lives in Hermosa, CA.
