Teresa Strasser - Bio

Television viewers know Teresa Strasser best as the host of hit TLC design show, "While You Were Out," for which she received an Emmy Award nomination. Due to the regularity of reruns, she is frequently still asked to redecorate the homes of passing motorists and street vendors.

After working for TLC, she joined the staff of "Good Day New York" as a feature reporter and also became the New York correspondent for both "Good Day Live" and "On-Air With Ryan Seacrest." Strasser has covered the red carpet for the Emmy Awards and the Tony Awards, for E! and TV Guide Network, respectively. She currently co-hosts TV Guide Network's weekly pop-culture roundup, "TV Watercooler" with comedian John Fugelsang.

Before going in front of the camera, Strasser (a native of San Francisco) worked as a writer for numerous newspapers, magazines and television shows, most notably, Comedy Central's "Win Ben Stein's Money," for which she won an Emmy Award. Other TV writing credits include "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" and "The Chair," both for ABC.

Journalism achievements include three Los Angeles Press Club Awards, including honors in both 2004 and 2005 for Columnist of the Year (for small newspapers). She has also garnered Simon Rockower Awards for both Excellence in Feature Writing and Writing about Singles. Additionally, her work has been featured in the popular "Fashion Police" section of US Weekly. Currently, Strasser is a regular contributor to the Calendar Section of the Los Angeles Times.

Though she studied journalism at New York University and has worked as an actual reporter since the age of 19, she has also played a fake one no fewer than six times, including in the straight-to-video instant classic "Bring it On: All or Nothing." She has also appeared on dozens of countdown shows for the E! Entertainment Network as well as on CNN Headline News.

Vying for title of Obscure Princess of Most Media, Strasser spends the early morning hours as radio co-host and News Girl for The Adam Carolla Show, which is syndicated throughout the West Coast, and also hosts TV Watercooler, a weekly review and Interview show on TV Guide Network.
