There aren’t too many announcer/analyst teams that get to reach 100 games together, but Fox’s Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt will reach the century mark this weekend
There aren't too many announcer/analyst teams that get to reach 100 games together, but Fox's Gus Johnson and Joel Klatt will reach the century mark this weekend.
Johnson and Klatt will be on the call for Saturday's game when No. 4 Penn State visits third-ranked Iowa. The two began working together in 2015, when Klatt became Fox's top college football analyst after Charles Davis shifted to NFL.
“When that time came where Charles moved over to the NFL, for us, it was almost a no-brainer that we felt like Gus and Joel not only could form a solid broadcast team, but would eventually be one of the best duos of college football. And that’s an evolution we’ve seen over these last 99 games," said Fox Sports Executive Vice President Brad Zager.
Johnson moved to Fox from CBS in 2011 as the network began building its college football and basketball portfolio. Klatt joined Fox Sports 1 when it launched in August 2013 and spent two years mainly as a studio analyst for college football and hosting “Fox NFL Kickoff.” He did analysis for some Thursday night games on FS1 before he was promoted to Johnson's partner in the booth.
