'NFL RedZone' host Scott Hanson reveals extreme Sunday preparation routine for marathon broadcasts

Danny Parkins reveals his Top 10 NFL teams heading into Week 3.

NFL players and coaches aren’t the only ones leaving it all out on the field on Sundays.

"NFL RedZone" host Scott Hanson gives it his all for the seven to eight hours the beloved show might run. The 54-year-old host doesn’t eat, drink or take any bathroom breaks throughout the afternoon.

In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, the longtime host gave an inside look into his gameday preparation.

"NFL RedZone" is filmed from studios in Los Angeles, so kickoff for him is at 10:00 a.m. PT. But his days start hours earlier. 

"My Sunday begins at 4 a.m., 4:30 a.m. That's when the alarm clock rings. Believe it or not, I don't even usually need the alarm clock. I am so wired to get up on an NFL Sunday, my body will wake me up before the alarm even has to buzz," Hanson told Fox News Digital. "I grab a shower. I don't drink coffee. People are extremely shocked by that, because of all the energy I guess I exhibit. Not a coffee drinker. I head into the studio, and then I'm in the studio about five hours before showtime."

Hanson’s breakfast at the studio is the same every week, made to help him retain water throughout the show. 

"The chefs at the network make me the same dense protein, salty breakfast, so I can retain water so that I don't have to use the facilities."

Hanson cuts off all food and liquids about three and a half hours before showtime.
