Charissa Thompson, the current host of Fox NFL Kickoff, is expected to finalize a deal with Amazon to become the new Thursday Night Football pregame show host this fall, according to a report from Andrew Marchand of The New York Post.
Thompson and Amazon are in the final stages of contract negotiations, and once complete, Thompson is expected to be teamed with former tight end Tony Gonzalez. Thompson is likely to remain in her role with Fox as part of the agreement.
The expectation for Thompson to join Amazon’s new NFL package comes after the network failed to come to terms on an agreement with former Good Morning Football host Kay Adams, per the report.
