For years, the FOX halftime show has been led by a group of former NFL pros and hosted by veteran broadcaster Curt Menefee, and that hasn’t changed for the 2024 NFL season. Let’s break down FOX’s halftime crew.
FOX’s NFL Pregame and Halftime Show Commentators
FOX Sports is one of the longest-running and widely acclaimed NFL pregame and halftime shows, with some of the best in the business. Again, Menefee is the host, who is in his 18th season in the role. Menefee does a terrific job leading the show and setting up the players on the crew.
The former NFL players on the broadcast include four-time Super Bowl champion Terry Bradshaw and Hall of Famers Howie Long, Jimmy Johnson, and Michael Strahan.
Bradshaw led the Pittsburgh Steelers on their legendary 1970s Super Bowl run. Strahan put up 141.5 sacks with the New York Giants from 1993 to 2007. Long was a fixture on the Oakland Raiders’ defense in the 1980s. Johnson coached the Dallas Cowboys to two Super Bowl victories in the 1990s.
Together, this crew handles the NFL pregame show, FOX NFL Sunday, and the FOX NFL halftime show from FOX’s studio in Los Angeles, California.
Furthermore, FOX NFL Insider Jay Glazer, who breaks down the latest news ahead of games each Sunday, joins the team occasionally. This is the 17th season that this crew has worked together on the pregame and halftime shows, so they have terrific chemistry and everyone knows their role.
Future Hall of Fame tight end Rob Gronkowski makes appearances on the shows as well. Gronk brings his sense of humor and football knowledge to add an element of spontaneity to the show.
