Sports commentator Jenny Taft

Jenny Taft is a leading commentator on the Fox Sports Network.


She's best known as the moderator on Fox Sports 1's "Skip and Shannon: Undisputed," a sports talk show featuring Skip Bayless and football legend Shannon Sharpe. 

Ms. Taft started out as a sideline reporter for Fox Sports North in her home state of Minnesota, covering the Minnesota Lynx of the WNBA and working as a social media contributor covering the Minneapolis/St. Paul area's other major-league sports teams.

At Fox Sports 1, she has been a college football sideline reporter, becoming a lead reporter in 2017.  She's been the moderator of "Skip and Shannon: Undisputed" since 2018.  On September 5 of that year - Ms. Taft's 31st birthday - she debuted as the host of a new show, "CFB: Inside Slant," a weekly show focusing on college football.

Fun fact: Jenny Taft's father, John Taft, and her husband, Matt Gilroy, are both famous ice hockey defensemen.
