Richard Eisen was born on June 24, 1969, in Brooklyn, New York City, and was raised on Staten Island. He pursued his higher education at the University of Michigan, graduating in 1990 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Later, in 1994, he earned a Master of Science degree in journalism from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University. His early career included working as a staff writer for the Staten Island Advance from 1990 to 1993 and the Chicago Tribune in 1993 and 1994. He also served as a sports anchor and reporter at KRCR-TV in Redding, California, from 1994 to 1996.
Eisen joined ESPN in 1996, where he became a prominent anchor for SportsCenter, known for his humor and interviews, including during the Home Run Derby. He also hosted ESPN’s reality series, “Beg, Borrow & Deal,” and contributed to ESPN Radio. A significant achievement during his time at ESPN was breaking the news of Mark McGwire’s retirement from baseball in 2001, followed by an exclusive interview. In 2003, Eisen transitioned to NFL Network as its first on-air talent. He significantly contributed to the network’s flagship program, “NFL Total Access,” and later became the host of “NFL GameDay Morning” and other pregame, halftime, and postgame shows for events like the NFL Scouting Combine, NFL Draft, and Super Bowl. In 2010, he launched “The Rich Eisen Podcast,” which has gained millions of downloads and features guests from sports and entertainment.
In 2014, Eisen launched “The Rich Eisen Show,” a sportstalk TV/radio program, initially broadcast on DirecTV’s Audience Network and NFL Now, later expanding to Fox Sports Radio. The show subsequently moved to YouTube, NBCSN, Peacock, and The Roku Channel. In 2022, “The Rich Eisen Show” was nominated for the Outstanding Studio Show Sports Emmy Award. Eisen has also been involved in charitable efforts, particularly with his annual “Run Rich Run” 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, which has raised over $5.2 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, earning him the 2017 Pat Summerall Award. In May 2025, it was announced that “The Rich Eisen Show” would move to ESPN Radio and be streamed on ESPN+, Disney+, and ESPN’s future direct-to-consumer streaming service, marking his return to ESPN.
