On Thursday night an AFC North showdown will kick off from Cleveland as the Browns prepare for their rivalry game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Veteran play-by-play man Al Michaels will be on the call with analyst Kirk Herbstreit and sideline reporter Kaylee Hartung. The pre-game show is hosted by former sideline reporter turned host Charissa Thompson, who shared a fun moment with friend Erin Andrews over the weekend.
While hosting the NFL on Fox show, Thompson had a cut-in segment with her podcast partner - which led to her petitioning the network to let the two work together more often. "Dear Fox," she said, "please allow Erin and I to be on TV more often together. We understand, that maybe we don't need to do the whole show.
But maybe a segment here and there would be awesome. If you guys would not mind, going to 10201 West Pico Blvd. in Los Angeles, California, and holding a poster board, asking to speak to the executives-that-be.
" Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images Andrews seconded that request. "This, I will get on my female high horse," Andrews said. "You and I talking about being on a segment together? Guys, this just in: Women like sports! Women like to watch other women in sports.
(That's) why, because I wear one friggin' jacket and my social media blows up." The friends won't be together on tonight's show, but Thompson is still ready for the game. Before kickoff she shared a video from a previous Steelers win where they talked postgame with star pass rusher TJ Watt.
"Last time we caught up postgame with TJ Watt, talked about his love for Mike Tomlin," Thompson said in a message on her Instagram story before delivering her message. "Join us tonight: Steelers vs. Browns.
" Cleveland and Pittsburgh kick off tonight at 8:15 p.m. ET.
