ABOUT TERESA STRASSER
Teresa Strasser is an Emmy-winning writer (Comedy Central) and Emmy-nominated television host (TLC). She’s been a contributor to the Los Angeles Times, USA Today, the Arizona Republic and The Today Show. Her first-person essays have garnered three Los Angeles Press Club Awards, including Columnist of the Year. As a broadcaster, she’s been on The View, Good Morning America, The Talk, CNN, Good Day New York, and was a regular guest on Dr. Phil. Radio and podcast audiences know her as the co-host of The Guinness World Record holding Adam Carolla Show. Her first memoir, Exploiting My Baby: Because it’s Expoiting Me was a bestseller, and optioned by ABC. Her second book, Making It Home: Life Lessons From a Season of Little League got a starred review from Publisher’s Weekly, and was called “A Perfect Book” by Good Housekeeping.
Growing up in San Francisco, Teresa was raised amongst the local hippie literati, including the beat poet who lived in her garage rent-free. Her dad was possibly the world’s only Jewish car mechanic, and after a stint delivering batteries, Teresa decided the only thing she wanted to deliver was writing assignments. At New York University, she studied both broadcast and print journalism, and somehow, magically, ended up doing both. Still a teenager, she got her first journalism job writing obituaries, and still thinks there’s not much more interesting to cover than passages, hatch, match, and dispatch. She got her break in Hollywood as a game show writer, and after working on-camera for a few years; she had a full-circle moment appearing on Celebrity Pyramid. “As the celebrity?” asked her dad, incredulous. Yes.
She now lives in Phoenix, Arizona with her husband — who takes Little League coaching very seriously — and her two sons. You can find her either live on a local morning show called The Daily Mix, or on the sidelines pacing nervously, shouting things that don’t make sense, and being Arizona’s most superstitious baseball mom.
