Maria Taylor on Hosting the Super Bowl Pregame AND The Olympics
Episode 593 of "SI Media With Jimmy Traina" features an interview with NBC Sports’ host, Maria Taylor. Taylor, who will host the network’s five-hour Super Bowl pregame show, discusses her prep for the event, why Super Bowl Sunday is in some ways an easier gig than a regular NFL Sunday, whether she has thought about how many people will be watching the pregame show and the physical and mental nature of doing a five-hour show. Taylor also talks about her role as the Lombardi Trophy presenter for the first time in her career. Other topics discussed with Taylor include what it was like to work with Brent Musburger and Lee Corso, her exit from ESPN, the Sunday Night Football drawing attention for TikTok dances and much more.
