Key Points:

  • Since joining Fox Sports in 2013, Klatt has become a leading voice in college football, co-headlining “Big Noon Kickoff” with Gus Johnson.
  • His podcast, "The Joel Klatt Show," recently surpassed 250,000 subscribers, cementing his growing influence in the sport’s media landscape.

Former Colorado quarterback and current Fox Sports personality is regarded as one of the best talents in the college football media space.

His journey to stardom in the broadcast world is an unorthodox one, as Klatt actually played minor league baseball after being an 11th-round pick in the 2000 MLB Draft by the San Diego Padres. After his baseball career didn't take off, Klatt opted to walk on as a quarterback at Colorado, where he threw for over 7,700 yards and nearly 50 touchdowns across his four seasons in Boulder.

Klatt eventually worked his way into the broadcasting world, signing on with Fox's FS1 in 2013. Despite starting as a part-time analyst, he and Gus Johnson now headline Fox's "Big Noon Kickoff," where they call the game of the week.

Klatt also hosts "The Joel Klatt Show," a podcast that has quickly emerged as one of the most popular shows in the sport.

On Thursday, "The Joel Klatt Show," announced a major milestone that the show recently hit on X, indicating just how popular the former Colorado quarterback has become.

On Thursday, Klatt's show announced that he has officially reached the 250,000 subscriber mark.

Considering the show launched sometime in 2023, Klatt is averaging a steady growth of around 125,000 subscribers per year.

For the fans who cannot get enough of him, he and Johnson will be on the call for the Week 6 game between the Wisconsin Badgers and No. 20 Michigan Wolverines.
