Madison Brodsky is a television host and content creator who has spent more than a decade turning her childhood obsession of celebrity news into a career spanning across Hollywood, sports, live entertainment, gaming and digital media.
Long before she ever held a microphone on a red carpet, Madison was the little girl watching Entertainment Tonight with her mom in pajamas and tiny baby heels. When people asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, she would say she wanted a job that gave her enough free time to volunteer at ET because getting paid to interview celebrities seemed far too fun to be an actual career.
She eventually proved herself wrong.
Madison attended the University of Arizona, where she double majored in Broadcast Journalism and Film & Television, graduated in just three years and completed 12 internships along the way. Determined to understand the industry from every angle, she learned how to write, pitch, book, shoot, edit and produce before building her career in front of the camera.
After graduating, Madison made the trek to the land of fame and success without knowing a soul and was immediately hired at TMZ, spending more than four years inside one of entertainment journalism’s fastest-paced newsrooms. She went on to land the job she had dreamed about as a kid at Entertainment Tonight, working across multiple properties such as Entertainment Tonight, ET Live and ET Canada as a booking producer and a red-carpet correspondent. Throughout her career, she has developed, produced, booked and hosted entertainment franchises while interviewing actors, musicians, athletes, creators, executives and some of the biggest names in pop culture.
As the media landscape evolved, so did Madison.
She expanded into live and digital commerce, becoming a host and talent producer in the e-commerce space, including work with talkshoplive, before moving deeper into interactive live entertainment. Today, she hosts for Live Play Mobile, appearing on live casino entertainment platforms including Modo Casino alongside UFC announcer Bruce Buffer and WOW Vegas, where hours of unscripted broadcasting have made quick thinking, audience interaction and improvisation second nature.
Sports became another major chapter of her career. Madison has created and hosted content with the Los Angeles Chargers and Los Angeles Kings, covering everything from NFL sidelines and training camp to athlete interviews and fan facing content. Her sports résumé has also taken her to the Super Bowl, World Series, NBA All-Star Weekend and NBA Summer League to interview legends like Tom Brady and Shaquille O’Neal, while her entertainment work has brought her everywhere from Hollywood premieres and press junkets to backstage at the GRAMMY’s interviewing the winners on behalf of the Recording Academy.
Her work with Los Angeles Magazine has further blurred the line between journalist, host, producer and personality. As a freelance contributor and on-camera talent, Madison has covered entertainment, sports, culture and major events while developing original concepts that extend far beyond a traditional interview.
Among those concepts is “The Roadtrip To,” an original travel-meets-entertainment franchise created by Madison that turns the journey to the world's biggest cultural and sporting events into part of the story itself. Previous installments have centered around destinations including the Super Bowl and Coachella, combining destination coverage, celebrity and personality-driven interviews, brand integrations, behind-the-scenes access and social-first storytelling. The franchise has continued expanding toward major events including Formula 1, with Madison developing The Road to F1 Vegas as its next evolution.
Her career has increasingly extended beyond reporting other people's stories and into creating the formats herself.
Madison has hosted and moderated major conferences and live events, interviewed leaders across sports and entertainment, created branded campaigns and produced personality-driven social content. She has stepped onto the field as an LA Galaxy player for a day for an Apple TV+ MLS Season Pass campaign, created content inside the Chargers organization, hosted main-stage conversations for high profiled events like New You Beauty Awards, Chi Hair Care’s 40th Anniversary Celebration, and Tim Tebow’s Non Profit Gala. She’s built a career that can move seamlessly from a movie premiere to an NFL facility to a live studio.
Whether she is interviewing an A-list actor on a carpet, talking football with an NFL player, improvising for hours on live television, moderating a room full of executives, taking viewers behind the scenes of a major event or turning a brand partnership into an actual piece of entertainment, Madison approaches every assignment with the same goal: make the audience feel like they have the best seat in the house.
And increasingly, brands have trusted her to do exactly that. Her partnerships have crossed fashion, beauty, sports, entertainment, travel and lifestyle, with collaborators ranging from Apple TV+ and Wantable to Melinda Maria Jewelry, where her work has helped generate more than $1 million in jewelry sales in a single year.
Madison's next chapter is focused on becoming more than the person holding the microphone. She is developing original formats, expanding her footprint across sports and entertainment, pursuing larger television and commercial opportunities and building toward the kind of career where hosting, producing, fashion, brands, live events and pop culture all coexist.
