John Anderson (born May 13, 1965) is a sports journalist from Green Bay, Wisconsin, and a host of the ESPN TV program SportsCenter since June 1999. Since Brian Kenny's departure to the MLB Network, he mostly appears on the 6-8pm edition with Lindsay Czarniak. He also co-hosted the TV series Wipeout.
Anderson graduated from Green Bay Southwest High School in Green Bay, WI. Anderson has a journalism degree from the School of Journalism at the University of Missouri. He is active within the MU Alumni Association and can often be seen at Missouri Tigers sporting events. Anderson was the Grand Marshal at Missouri's 2002 homecoming football game, in which Missouri beat the University of Kansas. He was the Graduation Speaker at the School of Journalism's December 2007 graduation ceremony.
One of the reasons Anderson decided to attend Missouri was so that he could compete as a high jumper on the track and field team. As a student, Anderson worked at KOMU-TV, but any work on the sports desk was voluntary. After graduating, he spent time in Tulsa, Oklahoma, working for KTUL-TV and KOTV-TV, and he also worked in Phoenix at KPHO-TV before joining ESPN.
