Charissa Thompson targeted as Amazon ‘Thursday Night Football’ pregame show host
The Amazon ‘Thursday Night Football’ pregame show is going to have a FOX-type feel. Tony Gonzalez apparently will be working with Charissa Thompson, who the New York Post revealed is expected to be named as the pregame host.
Thompson and Gonzalez worked together on FOX’s NFL programming in the past.

Gonzalez missed last season on the air after his contract ran out and he was deemed to be headed toward Amazon if it was to win the rights for Thursday games, which it did.
Amazon, according to sources, also had talks with Kay Adams, who recently left NFL Network’s “Good Morning Football” about hosting the pregame, but the sides failed to come to an agreement.
Thompson does a fine job hosting “Fox NFL Kickoff” each Sunday at 11 a.m. She will continue in that Fox role, while adding Amazon Prime on Thursdays.
