Joy Taylor and Colin Cowherd

Joy Taylor will join the FOX Sports Radio/FS1's "The Herd with Colin Cowherd" program as news anchor, effective June 18. Taylor, who will leave her role as moderator of FS1's "Skip and Shannon: Undisputed," replaces Kristine Leahy, who announced plans in April to host her own FS1 show this Fall. The announcement comes on the heels a new podcast milestone for The Herd, as the total podcast listens for the program grew to a record 9 million for the month of May, as measured by ART19.

"We're thrilled to announce new roles for Joy and Jenny on The Herd and Undisputed," said VP/Studio Production and FS1 Executive Producer Whit Albohm. "Both have been consummate professionals - Joy having been a major part of Undisputed's rise and Jenny's extensive resume, including her upcoming World Cup duties in Russia. We're proud of what they've accomplished so far and excited to see what's next."

Taylor, who moderated for "Undisputed" since its debut in 2016, joined FOX after spending the previous five years in Miami at AM 790 The Ticket and hosting the top-rated radio morning-drive program "Zaslow and Joy Show" after beginning there as executive producer. The Pittsburgh native currently hosts her own podcast "Maybe I'm Crazy with Joy Taylor," and also has hosted "Thursday Night Live" and "Fantasy Football Today" for CBSSports.com.
