Emmy-nominated Annie Hoffman has the proven ability to gain access to celebrities and deliver
out-of-the-ordinary interviews. When it comes to getting the biggest names talking, Annie Hoffman's
curiosity, sense of humor and genuine, easy manner make her a natural.
Annie comes through with "impossible-to-get interviews" (Cleveland Plain Dealer); she draws out the important information and delivers it to the public in a fresh, compelling manner. For CNBC's Great Stuff, Annie personally booked exclusive live interviews with some of the biggest names in sports: John McEnroe, who revealed his love for art; Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who talked about the problems with young NBA players and about his upcoming acting, writing and production projects; and Jack Nicklaus, who gave Annie a tour of his new restaurant and revealed to her his favorite passion besides golf.
"Annie got us big name after big name for our CNBC show, and then proceeded to do excellent, revealing interviews with all of them. She was a major asset to the show, and an intelligent, charming person to work with," noted Great Stuff host Jim Watkins (now anchor, WPIX-TV news).
Annie was Executive Producer at WKNR Sports Radio in Cleveland, the only woman in the country at the time to reach that level. Annie's broadcasting, production, writing, and acting experience is vast, beginning during her teens, when she was nominated for an Emmy.
She created, booked her own interviews for, and wrote Name Dropping with the Sports and Entertainment World for CBS SportsLine, one of the most popular sports sites on the Web; she was named "Best Reporter of 1996" by CBS SportsLine for her success with this production. Annie created, produced and hosted NYC Positives, a Manhattan Cable program about people making a difference in New York City, and she created, pitched and co-produced a Fox Sports Net Goin' Deep feature.
Annie wrote and broadcast sports and entertainment reports for Fox News Network's Fox and Friends, COURT TV, MSNBC, PAX-TV, National Enquirer TV, WPVI-TV's Phillie After Midnight, CBS SportsLine Radio, ESPN Radio, Prime Sports Radio, One on One Sports Radio Network, Talk America, and over fifty other radio stations in the United States and Canada. For Fox SportsBiz.com, Annie wrote a story about athletes involved in the music business, and she contributed columns about the sports and entertainment world to ESPN.com.
Annie has written for print media as well. She wrote a story for Manhattan Neighborhood Newspapers about her friend and celebrity manicurist Deborah Lippmann, who started her own nail products line (The Lippmann Collection). Annie has also written a magazine cover story about NBA player Elton Brand. Annie has worked with ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, and SPORTSCHANNEL on such events as the 1998 Winter Olympics, the Super Bowl and the Indianapolis 500. She has also worked on NFL Monday Night Football, and was a television consultant for and played the role of stage manager in the Turner film Monday Night Mayhem about the legendary ABC show. Annie has appeared numerous times in CBS-TV's long-running Guiding Light, and appeared, with her daughter, Ashley, in a Johnson & Johnson corporate video. She has worked in motion picture production as a casting director and a production assistant, and is currently working on her own television pilot and radio program. Since 2002, Annie has served on the Board of Directors of the KIPP Academy, the nationally recognized charter middle school in the South Bronx.
Annie's extensive production experience, her diverse background in sports entertainment, her understanding of the field, her impressive array of contacts with sports and entertainment leaders worldwide, and her natural talent in communications all make her the consummate sports entertainment broadcaster.
