Joy Taylor is no longer with Fox Sports as the network has decided to cut her show ‘Speak with Keyshawn Johnson and Paul Pierce’. The move to cut the show and fire Taylor comes as a result of the network’s maneuver to cut costs and reduce spending. Taylor’s firing from Fox has sparked a multitude of memes and jokes about her career with the network and also her departure.
One of the most viral memes surrounding Taylor jokes that her next boss might be former sports journalist, Jason Whitlock. The man himself responded to the meme through his X account, showing a non-dangerously jokey side. It is common knowledge that Whitlock, in the past, has not refrained from hurling insults at Taylor and many other female sports show hosts. This reference makes the meme even more hilarious.
“Joy Taylor’s future boss” Polymarket Football captioned their meme about Joy Taylor, showing a picture of Jason Whitlock.
“This place can be hilarious.” Whitlock commented on the meme about Taylor.

Joy Taylor has worked on several shows with Fox Sports since her entry in 2016, which makes the sudden news of her departure even more shocking. While Taylor is definitely known for her openness on wit on-screen, she has also made her share of bloopers, which has made many hardcore sports pundits like Whitlock question her credibility frequently.
Joy Taylor Fired By Fox Sports Over Lawsuit
Joy Taylor may have been fired by Fox Sports not only for her poorly performing show, but also for the sexual battery lawsuit surrounding herself and Charlie Dixon. Dixon has been accused by a make-up artist who formerly worked for Fox Sports of sexual battery. When the victim approached Taylor for help and guidance, she simply shrugged it off.
Taylor has denied all accusations against her. However, since the lawsuit’s filing, a cloud of controversy has hung over Taylor and many other employees with Fox Sports. Taylor’s show was not the only one which was suddenly cancelled by Fox Sports. Colin Cowherd’s show ‘The Herd’ has also been cancelled, along with Nick Wright’s ‘First Things First’.
The cancellation of these very popular sports shows is not only shocking but also disappointing for such a large network as Fox Sports. The cancellation has been called out by numerous Fox viewers ever since the announcement, bringing out not only jokes and memes but also severe condemnation from long-time fans.
