But Taylor was let go over poor ratings as part of an FS1 shake-up, according to The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand.
“Taylor is out at Fox Sports as part of a series of moves that will also see the network’s cable arm, FS1, cancel ‘Speak,’ the show Taylor co-hosts, as well as its two morning programs,” he wrote.
“The three shows struggled to find a huge audience, prompting the cancellations, according to sources briefed on the decision.”
Taylor reacted to the news by posting a workout video from a deck with a stunning ocean backdrop on Instagram, where she still describes herself as the host of Speak.
“Couple sets before the beach,” she wrote, followed by a bicep emoji.
The soundtrack to her video is a remix of Pedro Capó’s song Calma, which may be a reference to the situation and how she is taking it.
Fans took to the replies to give Taylor a boost.
“Get it girl, wrote one.
“Hope you land on ESPN or some other sports network, I’m going to miss you,” added another.
“Do your thing Joy the best days are ahead,” a third posted.

“Keep up the amazing progress,” a fourth said.
Taylor was one of the co-hosts on Speak along with Keyshawn Johnson and Paul Pierce.
Craig Carton, Mark Schlereth, Danny Parkins, Emmanuel Acho, LeSean McCoy, Chase Daniel, James Jones and Michael Irvin are all affected by the cancellations, with The Facility among the shows taken off air.
Per Front Office Sports, all three of the shows were created by former FS1 boss Charlie Dixon.
Dixon left Fox in April, months after he was named in lawsuits from former host Julie Stewart-Binks and ex-hairstylist Noushin Faraji.
Taylor was also named in the latter suit and denied the allegation.
She was off air for two weeks between February and March, before reflecting on the period on The Breakfast Club in June.
“I think it’s a grief process when anything like that happens,” Taylor said. “You can’t decide who you are when it’s happening. And that’s been the biggest thing for me.”
Taylor, who joined Fox Sports in 2016, made headlines in 2025 with an extremely bizarre rant about Aaron Rodgers’ absence from Pittsburgh Steelers OTAs.
Taylor attacked Rodgers for not being there on day one, even though he had yet to sign a contract.
“This is the Pittsburgh Steelers!” Taylor shouted.
“They have six Lombardis. They are coached by a first-ballot Hall of Fame Mike Tomlin who has never had a losing season, and we’re sitting around talking about Aaron Rodgers not being there on the first day of OTAs.
“Mandatory or not, where is your pride? Where is your dignity? Where is your respect for the game?
“Where is your respect for the organization? Where is this organization’s respect for the history that they have in this league?
Aaron Rodgers almost hits kid with his golf club and roasts him instead of apologizing
“What are we talking about? He’s never played there before. He doesn’t know any of his teammates. He doesn’t know the streets to get to the facility. He doesn’t know the doctors.
“He doesn’t know the rehab crew. He doesn’t know anybody! He doesn’t know anybody! He doesn’t know where to get his smoothies. Nothing. Like, why would you not be there? Why am I supposed to take this seriously?
“It’s not about him not being at non-mandatory OTA for a team that he’s been with for 22 years. Do what you want to do. You won five games last year.
“The year before that you didn’t play because you tore your Achilles. The year before that you missed the playoffs. What are we talking about?”
