Early years
Guerrero was born in Chicago, Illinois. She was the daughter of Walter Coles, an American of English descent and Lucy Guerrero who was from Chile. Guerrero spent her childhood living in San Diego and Huntington Beach, California. In 1972, when Lisa was eight years old, her mother died of cancer. To cope with the loss, her father enrolled her in theater therapy. Her mother and father worked for the Salvation Army, her grandparents were involved in The Salvation Army, and so on for many generations on each side of the family.
Career
Early career and acting roles
Guerrero began her show-business career in the 1980s as a cheerleader for the Los Angeles Rams. After being a cheerleader for the Rams, she moved on to be the Entertainment Director for the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots.
Later, in the 1990s, she moved on to star in Aaron Spelling's Sunset Beach. She also guest-starred in Frasier (the 'Odd Man Out' and 'Frasier's Imaginary Friend' episodes), The George Lopez Show and starred as scheming Francesca Vargas in NBC's Sunset Beach.
In 1997, she became a sports-anchor on Los Angeles' KCBS station and later KTTV station.
Fox Sports
In 1999, she moved to the Fox Network, where she participated in such shows as Sports Geniuses, Fox Overtime, Fox Extra Innings and the Toughman competition shows. She travelled to Egypt to tape the special Opening the Tombs of the Golden Mummies. Guerrero also starred in the San Diego Chargers magazine-style television show. She also co-hosted The Best Damn Sports Show Period, alongside Tom Arnold and Michael Irvin, among others.
Monday Night Football
In 2003, she left The Best Damn Sports Show Period to join ABC's Monday Night Football television crew. Her performance on the broadcast was heavily criticized1. The show hired her with the intention of going in a totally different direction with the job of sideline reporter — personality-driven and feature-driven — then discarded all of that and told her to just do the job in the usual fashion. She said that she never would have taken the job if she had known that they would change their minds like that. Guerrero left the Monday Night Football team after one season and the ratings dropped to lower than before she arrived.
Inside Edition and Recent Work
On June 15, 2006, Guerrero became a correspondent on the TV newsmagazine Inside Edition. Guerrero also became the co-host of VH1's game show The World Series of Pop Culture. Guerrero occasionally writes a blog for the Los Angeles Times sports section and the Huffington Post. In 2007, Lisa took on the role of Executive Producer, in addition to playing a lead role in the film. She and her husband paired to make the independent film A Plumm Summer. Though the film was not released nation wide, Lisa's first endeavor as producer earned strong accolades and various awards, including, The Austin Film Festival Audience Award for Best Family Film, The Heartland FIlm Festival Family Movie Event Selection, The International Family Film Festival Best Film, The Parents Television Council Seal of Approval, The Dove Foundation Seal of Approval and a rave review from The Daily Variety. "A Plumm Summer" is now available through various outlets, including Amazon.com. Lisa continues to act and is currently a Special Correspondent for Inside Edition, working on undercover stories and investigative reports. She is a frequent guest on CNN Headline News and E!. Lisa recently hosted the first Live Webcast of the 82nd Academy Awards Red Carpet for Oscar.com, integrating viewers questions from Facebook into celebrity interviews, adding yet another award show to the dozens which she has previously hosted.
Personal life
Guerrero lives in Malibu, California and Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
On February 3, 2004 Guerrero married former Baltimore Orioles MLB pitcher Scott Erickson.
Lisa has been involved in charity work since a very young age, with four generations of her family working for The Salvation Army. She hosts a golf tournament each year benefiting The Salvation Army's Free Medical and Dental Clinic in Oxnard, CA. Lisa has been a fundraiser for various Salvation Army events over the last twenty years. Recently, Guerrero appeared at Quiet Cannon Banquet Center at Montebello, California to honor the top ten students of each grade level for the high school Cantwell Sacred Heart of Mary.
