LONGTIME sportscaster and sideline reporter Michele Tafoya is vacating her role with NBC Sports.
Tafoya’s final broadcast with the network was Super Bowl LVI on February 13th, 2022.
What is Michele Tafoya's net worth?
Tafoya, 57, completed her undergraduate studies at the University of California, Berkeley and later earned a Masters of Business Administration from the University of Southern California.
She got her start as a late-night anchor for the 1998 Winter Olympics.
Starting in 2004, Tafoya found national success by serving as the Monday Night Football sideline reporter for seven years.
She also worked as an NBA sideline reporter, at one point simultaneously covering both leagues for four years.
For the last 11 NFL seasons, Tafoya has reported from the sideline almost every Sunday night as part of NBC’s broadcasting team with Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth.
At Tafoya’s press conference announcing her departure from the sideline, Sunday Night Football executive producer Fred Gaudelli was quoted saying “In my lifetime, I feel like she’s the best sideline reporter the NFL has ever had."

Who will replace Michele Tafoya?
Reporting by the New York Post, the paper that broke the news that Tafoya would be leaving the network asserts that Katheryn Tappen is expected to replace Tafoya.
Tappen has worked primarily in the professional hockey space but also worked as a sideline reporter for NFL games, the Olympics, Notre Dame football, and more.
Tappen posted an Instagram of herself celebrating as the Los Angeles Rams’ blue and gold confetti rained down while the team was crowned Super Bowl champions.
What is Michele Tafoya doing next?
Some theorized Tafoya’s departure stems from comments she has made on The View with Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar.
During Tafoya’s contentious appearances she railed against Critical Race Theory, Colin Kaepernick’s skills as a football player, and posited from other hardline conservative positions.
Immediately after, she was absent from the NBC sideline and fans took notice.
But, Tafoya insists that her leave from the sideline was planned and that her exit is not forced or being made in haste.
The Star Tribune quoted Tafoya saying “If I wanted to stay in sports television, I wouldn't be leaving."
Tafoya is diving headfirst into work as a Republican political operative, joining Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Kendall Quall’s team as co-chair of his campaign.
Qualls announced that Tafoya was linking with his campaign in a February 14th Twitter post.
Tafoya and her husband Mark Vandersall reside in Minnesota; the state has had a Democratic governor since 2011.
