Maria Taylor heading to NBC for Olympics after ESPN drama
NY Post
Maria Taylor and ESPN are divorcing – and she is headed to NBC and will cover the Olympics, The Post has learned.
Taylor, 34, leaves ESPN just weeks after a year-old private tape of leaked comments were reported by the New York Times in which fellow NBA host/reporter Rachel Nichols alleged ESPN gave Taylor the Finals hosting job to make up for what Nichols described as the network’s “crappy longtime record on diversity.” For NBC, Taylor is expected to be part of its forthcoming Olympic coverage that begins in earnest on Friday.More Related News
