Brian Steinberg Senior TV EditorMelissa Stark clearly knows the value of staying in touch.The veteran sportscaster served as the sideline reporter for “Monday Night Football” between 2000 and 2002, when she was just 26 and the game — then one of TV’s biggest weekly events — was still broadcast on ABC. She worked with everyone from the legendary TV executive Don Ohlmeyer to “MNF” announcers like John Madden and Dennis Miller — and with Fred Gaudelli, the producer who would move on to work for NBC Sports and oversee “Sunday Night Football,” then all of NBC’s NFL coverage.
With four young children at home, and having logged stints at ABC, NBC News’ “Today” and MSNBC, Stark in 2008 eventually chose to cut back on TV duties and focus on family. In 2011, she had the chance to take up new duties at NFL Network, and asked Gaudelli for his counsel on the move.
“He has always been a mentor and a sounding board,” Stark tells Variety in an interview. And more.
A few weeks ago, Gaudelli called her: Why not join NBC Sports as the sideline reporter for “Sunday Night Football”?And with that, Stark is working to make sense of a surreal moment: She will succeed Michele Tafoya in a critical role in one of TV’s most-watched programs, and in doing so, will make a unique career circle that many don’t get the chance to complete. “I was sort of just stunned” when the offer came through, says Stark, whose hire had been reported previously by The New York Post but not confirmed by NBC Sports until now.
