Taylor’s ascension at NBC has been a quick one as she’s one of the network’s highest-profile sports personalities. So far, she’s covered the Tokyo Olympics, Beijing Winter Olympics, as well as the pregame show during this year’s Super Bowl. While at ESPN, Taylor served as a host and reporter, working the NFL Draft and NBA finals.

“Maria is the perfect choice to carry the legacy forward of anchoring the most-watched studio show in sports,” NBC Sports executive producer Sam Flood said in a statement, according to THR.

Football Night in America is one of the most-watched programs in the country, averaging more than seven million viewers last season.
