Joyner was born in in Dallas, Texas and one for an afternoon show at WGCI in Chicago. Instead of choosing between the two, Joyner chose to take both jobs, and for years he commuted daily by plane between the two cities, earning the nicknames "The Fly Jock" and "The Hardest Working Man in Radio." In 1994 , Joyner was signed by ABC Radio Networks to host a nationally-syndicated program, ''The Tom Joyner Morning Show'', featuring Joyner and a team of comedians and commentators reporting and discussing the latest news and sports of the day, and playing popular R&B songs from the 1970's through the 1990's as well as contemporary R&B hits. Also featured are celebrity guests, on-site remotes (called "Sky Shows"), and an on-air soap opera called "It’s Your World". Joyner has also founded the Tom Joyner Foundation to provide financial assistance to students at Historically Black Colleges . In the Fall 2005 , a nationally syndicated television show, ''The Tom Joyner Show'' was launched with Joyner as emcee of a one-hour comedy/variety show, combining sketch comedy featuring the "Tom Joyner Show Players" (his co-hosts from the radio show), talent contests, and musical performances. He is married to fitness guru Donna Richardson . EXTERNAL LINKS |
