ABOUT
Barry University alum and an accomplished national media personality, television, radio, podcast, play-by-play, event, moderator and host.
After nearly two years hosting UNDISPUTED, Joy traveled across the FS1 Studio where she currently co-hosts with Colin Cowherd on The Herd, weekdays from 12-3 PM ET. She is also a play-by-play analyst for Thursday Night Football - “Scouts Feed” on Prime Video and Twitch and the host of “The Joy Taylor Show” Saturdays 2-4 PM ET on Fox Sports Radio. Joy has quickly become a fixture on the national sports media scene.
Originally from Pittsburgh, it was Joy’s “Steel City” grind that guided Joy as she built her career. Working in both FM and AM radio, Joy started her career while at Barry University in Miami Shores, interning and producing for a variety of Miami radio giants before landing a position as co-host of 790 AM ‘The Ticket’s Morning Show’, as well as host of ‘Thursday Night Live’ and ‘Fantasy Football Today’ on CBSSports.com. After three years of entertaining listeners each weekday morning, Joy traded coasts and moved to Los Angeles to join FS1.
