Nick Wright Bio
Nick Wright is an American sports television personality and sports radio talk show host. Wright currently serves as a co-host on Fox Sports 1’s First Things First (FTF) alongside Kevin Wildes and Chris Broussard. Nick expanded his experience in sports radio into a broadcast television career. This is after he began working with Fox Sports in 2016.
At first his work at Fox involved regularly contributing to FS1’s daily studio shows. Nick frequently appeared as a guest host of The Herd. In late December 2016, Nick and former wide receiver Cris Carter co-hosted an episode of The Herd. Nick and Cris were given the chance while its regular host Colin Cowherd was out for vacation.
Then-Fox Sports executive Jamie Horowitz used Carter and Wright’s co-hosting venture to test their chemistry together. This was in order to assess the potential of them co-hosting a daily morning sports talk show on FS1. During that time, the early morning block (6:00–9:30 AM EST) was “a black hole for FS1”, according to Sporting News. This is because the network used that slot for game replays and reruns of other shows.
Carter and Wright proved to be a successful pairing. This is after the two were then paired up to host FS1’s morning talk show First Things First, which premiered on September 5, 2017. Carter and Wright were joined by reporter Jenna Wolfe, who fills the show’s moderator and anchor role. First Things First also functioned as a lead-in program for Skip and Shannon: Undisputed. In 2018, it was announced Wright would begin hosting What’s Wright, a weekday radio show on Sirius XM’s Mad Dog Radio.
In 2022, Wright began co-hosting his What’s Wright? podcast with his son, Damonza Byrd.
