During this time, he also became a sideline reporter for the newly-launched NFL on Fox.[1][2][3][4]
Afterwards, he moved to Los Angeles and joined Prime Sports as one of the rotating anchors of their national sports news program, Press Box; simultaneously, he hosted the short-lived FX Sports Show alongside Jim Rome.[5][6] Both programs were succeeded by Fox Sports NewsasFox Sports Net launched in late 1996; Frazier anchored the very first broadcast, and remained as one of the many anchors until the program (by then known as the National Sports Report) was cancelled in early 2002.[7] While at Fox, he also co-hosted College Football Saturday, and served as an anchor and sideline reporter for other Fox Sports coverage.
From 2004 to 2011, he was a correspondent for Entertainment Tonight as well as a fill-in host, and from 2011 to 2014, was a co-host of The Insider; he returned to ET in 2014, and continues as co-anchor to the present day.[8][9] Frazier is also the host of Game Changers on the weekly CBS Dream Team.[10]
