About Sissy Biggers

Sissy received degrees in English and French literature from Barnard College at Columbia University. Following graduation, she headed out to Los Angeles where she worked in comedy production. During her tenure at NBC, Sissy worked on classics like Saturday Night Live and Late Night with David Letterman. She also demonstrated her versatility as a network programming development executive at NBC while supervising the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, The Miss America Pageant and numerous comedy and reality specials.

Sissy then joined The Food Network as host and consulting producer for one of the network's early successes, the popular Ready, Set Cook! There, she honed her skills as a commanding event host, headlining the channel's 22-city tour. As her role expanded, she became one of media's most creative and versatile lifestyle personalities, and a frequent contributor to NBC's Later Today Show and The Today Show. Sissy's special brand of off-beat and informative segments have appeared on the Rosie O'Donnell Show, Weekend Today, The Tony Danza Show, Fox & Friends and The View. In 2002, she did live commentary with William Shatner on UPN's Iron Chef, USA. In addition to regular food and lifestyle pieces for Better Homes & Gardens, she also reported live for Today from the Pillsbury Bake-Off and from the International Housewares Show in Chicago for the CBS Early Show.

During the 2004 season, Sissy was a highlight on the syndicated Living it Up with Ali & Jack as the program's regular home-keeping expert. That same year, she added reality television to her resume as the first host of ABC's primetime Extreme Makeover. In 2005, Sissy joined the 30th season of the venerable PBS series, Victory Garden, as the program's Lifestyle Co-host. She appears annually at Food & Wine Magazine's Aspen Classic as host and producer of the June weekend's closing event, The Classic Cook-Off.

This fall, Sissy added a new media frontier: broadband content delivery. Sissy has signed with NBC Universal as the media company's first broadband channel host in her own series, A Big Life with Sissy Biggers.

Sissy and her husband, Kelsey and their two daughters live in Fairfield County, Connecticut where she is an energetic hostess and dedicated community volunteer, using her skills to support many non-profit organizations.
