Here we tell you everything you need to know about Joy Taylor…
Where did she start her career?
Taylor attended Barry University in Miami and graduated from her broadcast communications course in 2009, while also working at a local radio station.
She eventually became the co-host of the morning drive sports radio show, titled “The Zaslow and Joy Show,” with Jonathan Zaslow.
She also worked for CBS Sports, where she hosted “Thursday Night Live” and “Fantasy Football Today” before turning attention to Fox Sports…
How long has she been at Fox?
Taylor joined the network in March 2016, moving from Miami to Los Angeles to start her new life on FS1.
Initially, she had multiple roles on various shows, including filling in for Kristine Leahy on ‘The Herd with Colin Cowherd’.
She landed a permanent spot as moderator for “Skip and Shannon: Undisputed” in August 2016, alongside Skip Bayless and former NFL star Shannon Sharpe.
In 2018, she moved from Undisputed to The Herd with Colin Cowherd, and in 2021 she got her own radio show: The Joy Taylor Show.
What is she organizing now?
In September 2022, Taylor became the host of a new FS1 show titled ‘SPEAK’, featuring Keyshawn Johnson and Paul Pierce, which airs weekdays from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
Emmanuel Acho is also a regular co-host of the show and he previously expressed his admiration for the way she worked her way to the top at the network.
Does she have a partner?
Taylor previously dated former NBA player and coach Earl Watson, and she announced on The Herd in 2018 that the pair were engaged.
In addition to her TV announcement, she posted a loving photo to her Instagram with the caption, “My forever.”
Just over a year later, the couple split in November 2019, but it is unclear why.
It is believed that Taylor is not currently in a relationship, and in 2021 she revealed on social media that she has no plans to have children.
She wrote: ‘I never wanted children and I don’t want to be pregnant. If someone is of your gender [men] Then maybe one day I can convince myself, but at the moment the chance of no is a resounding 99.9%.’
