\u201cI dreamed of having this job and now two decades later I\u2019m still lucky to have it and I never take it for granted, even if I\u2019m tired, even if it\u2019s this, or that,\u201d Thompson said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if you\u2019re throwing up the day of your game, which I will tell you, you were and you had a Michael Jordan night,\u201d Andrews chimed in, referring to the NBA legend\u2019s infamous \u201cFlu Game\u201d when he led the Chicago Bulls to a 90-88 victory against the Utah Jazz in Game 5 of the 1997 NBA Finals to take a 3-2 series lead. Jordan suffered food poisoning, not the flu. <\/p>\n
\u201cYou looked spectacular, you handled that desk,\u201d Andrews continued, adding that she loved Thompson\u2019s leather jacket. \u201cYou said you were going to die, and I said, \u2018If you\u2019re going to die they\u2019re going to bury you in that outfit because you look great.’\u201d <\/p>\n

Thompson went on to explain her dedication to both of her jobs at Amazon and Fox.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love this job\u2026 and I dont want anyone else to take my job, try to come for my job,\u201d Thompson said. \u201cThe seat that I\u2019m lucky enough to sit in on Thursday night and on Sunday \u2014 even if things happen during the broadcast because its live television, or in studio, nothing would take away my enthusiasm for this job. They will have to drag me off the set and force me to quit this job before I ever do.\u201d<\/p>\n
