1991

He and Brian both garnered a 1991 National Association of Broadcasters Marconi Award as "Air Personalities of the Year."

The popularity of The Mark & Brian Show gave Thompson several opportunities to branch out into other entertainment media.

In 1991-92, he and Phelps hosted a short-lived NBC TV series, The Adventures of Mark & Brian, based on their radio show.

1993

Thompson has also appeared in several motion pictures, notably Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (the 1993 ninth installment in the Friday the 13th series) and The Princess Diaries (2001).

2002

He also wrote & starred in the 2002 independent film, Mother Ghost, and briefly appeared as a love interest (coincidentally named Brian) of Reba McEntire's character on three episodes in the 2002-2003 season of the Reba television show.

2012

The next year the duo moved their show to KLOS-FM in Los Angeles, where they remained until the show's end in 2012.

On December 8, 2014, Thompson announced on his podcast he would be returning to morning radio in Los Angeles and that he would be doing morning drive from his home studio in North Carolina.
