Former New York Giants host Madelyn Burke announces that she will join ESPN's SportsCenter as an anchor after leaving New York Giants.

Last week, Madelyn Burke announced that she was "moving on" from the New York Giants , ending her 10-year tenure with the team. On Monday, the New York Post reported that Burke will be an anchor on ESPN's flagship show, SportsCenter . While working with the Giants, Burke hosted multiple shows across the team's digital platforms, hosted the "Giants Postgame Live" series on MSG, and served as a sideline reporter for WFAN Giants broadcasts.

She has become a recognizable face and voice among Giants fans, and after putting in some hard work, she's landed what she calls her dream job. “Particularly, this is kind of a full circle moment because when I was in college I actually interned for ESPN in Bristol over a summer in the production coordination office there,” Burke said in an interview with The Post . “I also worked as a runner and a PA for ESPN’s coverage of Super Bowl 42 in Arizona, which was the Giants-Patriots helmet catch game — and then I worked as a runner and a PA for Super Bowl 43 in Tampa, which was the Santonio Holmes toe drag game.

“Nearly 20 years later, to be here now joining ‘SportsCenter,’ I honestly feel a lot more gratitude than anything else to the people and the experiences and the opportunities that have helped me get here,” Burke said. “It’s also just the full circle moment of remembering being a young PA just cutting her teeth and trying to do whatever it takes to be in and around the industry. And now, I’m about to start my dream job.

” Burke also stated that she felt nothing but love and support from the Giants organization, including the fanbase. “The amount of people who have reached out and shown support and gratitude for what I did in that coverage has really been heartwarming. It’s just been so endearing to see the reaction, and I hope I can continue to make an impact on a larger stage — and of course, continue to show the Big Blue fans some love," she said.
