FUNNYMAN AND RADIO ICON J. ANTHONY BROWN LEAVES THE TOM JOYNER MORNING SHOW.
Superstar Comic & Legendary Radio Personality Issues Statement on Departure
Radio Facts received word today that J. Anthony Brown is leaving the Tom Joyner show. Back in January of this year Brown walked off the show as reported in Radio Facts then returned. Almost a year later he is leaving again. No doubt it’s a contract dispute. See info below.
(LOS ANGELES) — After a more than 20-year run on the nationally-syndicated Tom Joyner Morning Show (TJMS) (TJMS), funnyman J. Anthony Brown is leaving the show. His comedic take on social issues and pop culture has been a staple for radio listeners in more than 100 markets across the country.
“I want to thank all the listeners and fans for embracing me for more than 20 years on the Tom Joyner Morning Show (TJMS) . You were a captive audience, and your support and feedback encouraged me to be a better comic and a better social commentator, reflecting the world around us,” said Brown. “I am eternally grateful to Tom Joyner and the morning crew for the years of friendship and laughs, in sickness and in health. I thank you for the opportunity to showcase my talents, and allowing me to have a voice on morning radio.”
Brown is one of the forerunners to today’s popular Black comedy scene. His departure leaves behind a legacy of comedic skits, parodies, and “murdered hits,” addressing hot topics, making headline news. Plus, listeners will certainly miss his trademark catcall: “Watch Out Deh Now!” See J. Anthony Brown’s Video Resignation HERE.

I love Jay, he has gotten me through some rough mornings. But i will continue to listen to the show. Tom was one of the first and paved the way for other African American radio personalities. I wish Jay well, however his replacement is going to have to be on point.
First Tavis and now Jay!!, maybe itsTom getting jealous of Jay success, I thought they were good friends!, I’m thinking Sybil is behind this. She never likes Jay making jokes, but he’s funny, and she’s not, I’ll go over to Steve Harvey, I can’t believe this
Wish him J the best sometimes with life you just ha ve to move on. Change hurts, at times. I wish they could have retired radio together as joint partners. Tom and J were a good team in spite of what others may say. Blessings,to both.
After seeing Steve Harvey with Donald trump, really, nothing surprise me. Don’t listen to him anymore. One of Dr kings children standing with this maniac. WTF! !
I already miss Jay. Tom and Sybil if it was a contract matter, please support Jay if negotiations/money were the issues. You all were a team and teams support one another. It won’t be the same without him. Please bring him back!!
I’m glad JAB is gone. He wasn’t funny. I was also tired of his mentioning how much he dates white women. I wish these types of shows expressed more black love. I believe it would be more healthier. I’m actually happier with the rotating line-up that TJM show has. Now if they could just get rid of the dumb and unfunny Sherri Shepherd…..
I refuse 2 listen 2 tom joyner and all that coon talk giggling like 3 little igirls. That show is terrible ignorant. All who dont see it keep snickering and skinnning them teeth..
Ethel I miss Jay Tom I don’t care for all those different funny people. You all was the team I keep listening for Jays voice.Please please Bring Back Jay.
Business decision and pride..
Why J Why????
I wish JAB the best; with his talent , I’m sure he’ll do extremely well in his endeavors.
I will be sticking with Tom Joyner because I don’t like anything about Steve Harvey
The show is not the same but I Jay Anthony Brown. They need to bring him back I keep waiting to hear his voice. Good luck J show not the same without you that’s the problem today not wanting to help Black America.
The show is not the same without Jay Anthony Brown. It’s funny no one ever talks about him.
