About Rich Eisen
Rich reaches sports fans in top markets across the U.S. including New York, Boston, and Phoenix. He is one of the only talents who has built a cross-platform empire originating from his radio show. Rich's content starts with his radio show and is produced for other distribution platforms including satellite radio, podcasting, and TV. And his 2M followers on social media drive viral moments that are often covered by the biggest media outlets in the country. Rich has interviewed top-tier guests like NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes; reported breaking news live such as when Damar Hamlin suffered cardiac arrest; and addressed painful issues like the Uvalde shooting and Kyrie Irving’s antisemitic behavior, explaining why it was hurtful and damaging given the power athletes hold in popular culture. Rich Eisen is also host of the Pregame and Halftime Shows for Westwood One’s broadcasts of Monday Night Football.

A graduate of the University of Michigan, Eisen earned a Master of Science degree in Broadcast Journalism from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism in 1994. Rich was a mainstay on ESPN’s SportsCenter from 1996-2003 before becoming the first on-air talent added at the NFL Network in June 2003, five months before the network’s launch in November of 2003. As a four-time Emmy nominee for “Outstanding Studio Host,” Eisen can also be seen Sunday mornings throughout the NFL season hosting the network’s Emmy-nominated NFL GameDay Morning. As the signature host of the NFL Network, Eisen also serves as the emcee of the Pro Football Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in Canton, Ohio, and anchors the network’s special on location coverage of the NFL Draft, NFL Scouting Combine and Super Bowl.

Philanthropically, Eisen created the annual “Run Rich Run” 40-yard dash as a charitable effort to benefit St. Jude’s and has used his radio platform to activate his audience to donate, raising more than $5 million over the past eight years. Rich resides in Los Angeles with his wife, Suzy Shuster. Together they have three children and two rescue dogs.
