Early life and education

Michelle Beadle was born in Italy

Valero Energy, and Serenella Paladino, from Italy.[3] She spent the first half of her childhood in Roanoke, Texas,[2] outside Dallas, and the second half in Boerne, a small town outside San Antonio.[4] She said that her mother was her best friend growing up because her mother did not speak English when she immigrated to America and they had to learn the language together.[3] She was admittedly a tomboy growing up and had all male friends.[5] She graduated from Boerne High School.[3]

Beadle attended the University of Texas at Austin for political science[6] as a pre-law student.[3] She later joined a law group, and worked at the capitol in Austin,[6] which helped dissuade her from pursuing a legal career.[2] After three years she decided against law and took three years off because she did not know what she wanted to do and her college credits were geared toward law school.[6] She spent time in Canada working odd jobs and eventually returned to Austin and waited tables while trying to decide what to do with her life.[2][6]

Beadle also attended the University of Texas at San Antonio,[7][8] graduating from the latter.[9][10]

Career

Early career

With her father's assistance, Beadle got her career start as an intern for the

TNN as a "behind-the-chutes" sideline reporter for the coverage of the Professional Bull Riders' (PBR) Bud Light Cup Series.[3] She was originally meant to fill in for two weeks but was asked to stay full-time.[6] While at TNN, she also served as a freelance reporter for CBS Sports on its coverage of the PBR and ESPN's Titan Games.[10]

Next, Beadle went to the

New Jersey Nets telecasts.[9] She also served as a sideline reporter for Nets basketball games, was co-host of Kids on Deck and Sportslife NYC, and was the host of YES' Ultimate Road Trip.[9] Additionally, Beadle hosted College Sports Television's The 1 College Sports Show, and pre and postgame sports shows. She was also the reporter for the NFL Films syndicated program NFL Under the Helmet.[10]

She also hosted several other entertainment-themed and reality-based shows, including

Extra, Access Hollywood, and Entertainment Tonight.[10]

Career at ESPN

Beadle joined ESPN on June 1, 2009, as co-host with

SportsNation, during her time at TNN, Beadle also worked freelance as a reporter for ESPN's Titan Games.[9] She also was the New York SportsCenter anchor for ESPN Radio's The Michael Kay Show on 1050 ESPN New York.[4][10]

She was later named the co-host of

Mike and Mike in the Morning.[4][5][16]

Career at NBC

On May 22, 2012, it was announced that she was leaving ESPN for the family of NBC networks, primarily as host on NBC Sports Network as well as correspondent on Access Hollywood.[17] She anchored NBC Sports Network's daily morning studio coverage of the 2012 London Olympics.

The Crossover with Beadle and Briggs debuted on January 28, 2013, on the

CSN New England. NBC described the show as one that focuses on sports, pop culture and entertainment.[18] In May 2013, the show was rebranded as The Crossover with Michelle Beadle, with Beadle as the sole host. On September 25, 2013, The Crossover with Michelle Beadle was cancelled.[19]

Return to ESPN

Beadle returned to ESPN on March 3, 2014, appearing as a co-host on SportsNation. She was released from her NBC contract early as part of a deal between the two media companies that included Ryder Cup coverage and Olympics highlights rights.[20]

In July 2014, she criticized ESPN colleague Stephen A. Smith on social media for comments he made about the Ray Rice domestic abuse case. The furor led to a week-long suspension of Smith. She had another heated social media dialog on the same matter with MTV celebrity Christopher Boykin.

In September 2014, she joined Grantland, a subsidiary of ESPN, hosting a podcast called Beadlemania.

Beadle began hosting NBA Countdown in 2016. In April 2018, she also began co-hosting a morning sports show on ESPN called

Get Up! along with Jalen Rose and Mike Greenberg. In August of the same year, ESPN announced that Beadle would be leaving Get Up! by the end of the month, and instead focus her efforts on NBA coverage.[21] In the summer of 2019, ESPN quietly removed Beadle from NBA Countdown, replacing her with Rachel Nichols and Maria Taylor
, respectively. Beadle then proceeded to enter a buyout with ESPN, which ended her time at the company.

Floyd Mayweather.[22]
