- Erin Andrews revealed to Business Insider that she really wants to host a talk show.
- But that's not all: She wants to cohost it with Kevin Hart.
- It's just the latest idea Andrews has in how she wants to extend her brand beyond reporting on NFL sidelines. She's also pitching a TV series around Hollywood.

Erin Andrews is busy these days working the sideline of NFL games for Fox Sports (including Super Bowl LIV on Sunday), cohosting ABC's "Dancing with the Stars," and even launching her own clothing line called WEAR, but she says she has enough time to do one more thing: host a talk show.
"That is something I would really like to do," $4.
And she thinks Kevin Hart would be the perfect cohost.
Now, on the surface that seems like a quite a reach. Why would a movie star like Hart even consider doing a talk show? But Andrews has a few ins. One, Hart is a huge sports fan, and one of his favorite teams is the Philadelphia Eagles. Also, both Andrews and Hart are represented by the same publicist, so it's actually not as far fetched as you might think.
Andrews said she's really looking up to former NFL star Michael Strahan and what he's done in the entertainment world since retiring from the gridiron (doing everything from the pregame show on Fox during the NFL season to hosting duties on ABC's "Good Morning America"). Though she said her first love will always be covering the NFL on the sidelines, she would like to see how to expand her brand beyond that. Andrews also told Business Insider that she's currently pitching a TV series around Hollywood that she would be a producer on.
But hosting a show is what she currently has her sights on - which brings us back to Hart.
"He's hilarious; he calls me out," Andrews said. "He called me a couple of weeks ago before the Eagles game to get me to give him some inside information, and I was like, 'Before I do that, let's talk about this show.'"
You have to respect Andrews' hustle.
