Joy Taylor Got Some Legs On Her

 

Joy Taylor is impossibly beautiful.  She's aptly-named because her otherworldly good looks are a joy to behold. Her bodacious upper half gets the most accolades and deservedly so... but I'm here to tell you that Joy's got a great pair of legs on her and they should not be overlooked.

She recently put those slim-thick, smooth-as-bronze gams on display at an event for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, which she posted on her IG: @joytaylortalks. No, she's not modeling in the magazine herself (dang it) but as host of the event, she interviewed the ladies who did.

Enjoy these stunning images from that event.  Although I'm sure she enjoys co-hosting The Herd on FOX Sports, imagine those gams parading around the spacious sets of ESPN (not that she'd ever defect and go there... just saying).

Liberte Chan: Still Leggy

I was so bummed out when Liberte Chan left KTLA early last year; she was my favorite meteorologist (even more than Jen Carfagno, believe it or not) and I don't even live in California. 

Aside from her strikingly pretty face, Liberte caught my attention because she has one of the sexiest, most physically-fit pairs of legs I'd ever seen on television. Every one of her muscles from thigh to calf is lean, fine-tuned and brimming with power from a lifetime of dancing and intense exercise.  

She's also the most nimble and flexible weatherbabe of all time, contorting herself into provocative positions through the power of Yoga, oftentimes on-air at KTLA. 

Diehard Chan Fans may remember "Sweatergate" in 2016, when she showed up to work in a lil' black sleeveless dress so sexy, she was asked to cover up with a sweater in the middle of a live broadcast. 

“We’re getting a lot of emails,” said the late Chris Burrows, anchor at the time. Liberte claimed the whole thing was a prank but I never bought that.

She racked up an impressive LEGacy full of highlights before leaving KTLA in February 2021.  I never thought I’d never see those perfect power-packed gams again, like all the other newsbabes who bailed on the GAMe far too early. 

Then came the plot twist: Liberte went on to become an Instagram influencer promoting health, wellness, travel and other slices of her jet set life. Her IG handle is @libertechan and she's certainly worth a follow.

Aside from her one-in-a-million good looks, Liberte is an interesting and fun person with a lot more to share than weather reports. Her dedication to physical fitness and clean eating is inspiring. 

However, Liberte's IG also featured what got me into her in the first place...

Those LEGS.

Yes, Liberte's gorgeous gams are paraded around her IG page, as legs of her caliber should be.  Her outfits are stylish, classy and always sexy.  Her shoe game is also exquisite.

She even started doing her own weather reports again at the behest of her fans. How cool is that? 

As much of a LEGend as she was on KTLA, Liberte expanded the franchise via Instagram (or in this case, InstaGAMS).  Those fit-as-a-fiddle legs are walking and dancing her further up my all time great list.  Her freshly-minted husband Luis Strohmeier must be on Cloud Nine, grinning from ear to ear daily. Hey, I don't hate... I congratulate.

MJ Acosta-Ruiz: Rising Title Contender

The initials MJ are associated with greatness: Michael Jackson, Michael Jordan and now, superfine MJ Acosta-Ruiz, who has a pair of voluptuous but shapely gams that can make her just as LEGendary.

MJ is an all-around, all-purpose dyme. Physically, the former Miami Dolphins cheerleader is without error from head to toe; she should be appraised like a flawless diamond. However, those knockout legs are the crown jewel for me. 

It should be noted that MJ worked for 2 years at Telemundo, which may explain why she’s fearless with the high hemline theatrics.  She lights up the set of her current show, NFL Total Access on NFL Network. 

Like that other famous MJ, Miss Acosta-Ruiz knows she's BAD. She proudly flaunts it all over her Instagram, @mjacostatv, as a woman of her fine caliber should. 

I consider Lauren Shehadi the overall #1 Leg Queen in the game and she is certainly the best sportsbabe in my opinion... but Lauren's got some heavy competition this season, beginning at her own network (Siera Santos and Kelly Nash are both killers).

ESPN is also loaded with worthy challengers like Laura Rutledge, Malika Andrews and Ashley Brewer, all three of whom have Hall of Fame potential.

Quiet is kept, MJ might be the most lethal of them all. From her exceptional good looks to high-caliber performance, MJ's game is airtight from stem to stern. All she needs are more opportunities to put those gams into action.

Keep a close eye on MJ Acosta. She's got the makings of a title contender and if NFLN smartens up and gives MJ the keys to the network like MLBN did with Shehadi, the scales of power could suddenly shift.

Dreams Come True: Cheryl Casone Joins Outnumbered

Cue Phil Collins: "I've been waiting for this moment, for all my life, oh lord..."

 

Those familiar with my commentary should know how much I worship Cheryl Casone. She's been one of my all-time favorite FOXes since back in the day when she, Liz Claman and Elizabeth "E-Mac" MacDonald formed the Leggy Trinity of FBN. 

Cheryl has an elite pair of legs that don't get nearly enough credit, mainly because FOX employed the deepest squad of LEGends in history: Nauert, Colby, Smith, Kooiman, Tantaros, Earhardt, Kennedy, Hopkins, Chetry, Hill, Vester... the list of all-time greats goes on and on and on into infinity. 

Despite FOX being so loaded, I always thought Cheryl's long, lean, chiseled legs were just as good if not better than her contemporaries. Even when she sat next to the great Nicole Petallides, I thought Cheryl held her own and even stood out quite a few days. Her healthy thighs, complete with deep definition lines, always captivated me. 

For years upon years, I prayed to the Gam Gods that Cheryl would appear on Outnumbered. I wanted to see her go leg-for-leg against the very best because I knew she'd stack up. Alas, my dream never came to fruition... 

Until this year.

In March of '22, Cheryl finally brought her formidable gams to the hallowed White Couch a.k.a. The Arena where many a Gam Gladiator did battle. IMBD claims C-Dub was on Outnumbered in 2021 but either they're mistaken or I missed it (someone please inform me if I'm wrong). 

Words can't describe how happy it made me to see Casone on Outnumbered. I got misty-eyed watching her leg it up on the set, schooling the uninformed and proving that her gorgeous gams are among the best ever (at least in my humble opinion).

Yeah, it would've been awesome to see how Cheryl fared against the likes of Sandra, Andrea, Trish or her fellow underrated Leg Queen Julie Roginsky (more on her later). Still, it's beautiful and fulfilling to watch. 

Yesterday's episode was particularly good, the best of Cheryl's three cameos (again, correct me if I'm wrong about the amount). She wore a short blue dress and extended those mile-long legs with a stunning left-over-right cross.  Dr. Saphier looked great too but Cheryl stole the show. 

Even if the left side of the couch hadn't been covered in pants (ugh) and Carley unleashed her thick 100 mile stems, I think Cheryl would've still been a standout. Hopefully C-Dub remains on the show and more chances to shine.

With a surging FOX looking like the powerful dynasty it once was, now is the perfect time to keep Casone on the couch. She can help lead FOX to even more championship banners.  But even if it's short-lived, I had to pay homage to what's been a special moment for me.

My dream finally came true (wipes away tears of joy).

UNSUNG LEGS Vol.1

These underrated but incredible legs deserve more accolades.

(Stats are on a 1-10 scale)

ALEXA DATT

Legs: 10

Performance: 7.5

Consistency: 7

Hose Game: 0

Shoe Game: 8

Queen Shehadi was the only thing stopping Alexa from having the Best Legs at MLBN.  Alexa has a mind-blowing, ridiculously sculpted pair of gams worthy of the crown and should've been a top contender.  But it's hard to fully shine next to a G.O.A.T. in her prime, like leggy Lara Spencer riding shotgun to Robach.

Alexa left MLBN for a local station in St. Louis but I'm giving her retroactive props because they're well deserved. She had some LEGcellent moments at her former network, with a deeper LEGacy than one might think. 

Nowadays her Top Tier gams are wasted behind a desk. But if she ever decided to unleash them again, Alexa is always within striking distance of #1 rank. It would be fitting if she came back to overthrow Shehadi for the crown... she certainly has the legs to do it, all she needs is the killer instinct.

MALIKA ANDREWS

Legs: 9

Performance: 9

Consistency: 7.5

Hose Game: 1

Shoe Game: 7

From the moment she hit the scene it was obvious Malika has one of the most strikingly beautiful faces on the planet.  However, it wasn’t until she replaced Rachel Nichols that I realized Malika’s legs are just as flawless as her face. 

 

Her gams are carved from bricks of butterscotch and drizzled with honey to make them glisten under the stage lights. She's taken a lesson from ESPN's G.O.A.T. Cari Champion on how to polish the stems with the perfect amount of oil.  Whether strolling, sitting or in a sexy stance, Malika's million-dollar gams are impossible to look away from.  

Some believe Malika has a higher calling as she's quietly being groomed for Good Morning America. With her groundbreaking blend of exceptional looks and charisma, that's a strong possibility. I believe she'll conquer the sportsbabe throne before moving on to GMA (or something bigger) to solidify her Hall of Fame LEGacy. 

VICKY NGUYEN

Legs: 8.5

Performance: 9

Consistency: 9

Hosiery: 0

Shoe Game: 7

In my humble opinion, this lil' firecracker has been one of the best and most consistent babes in the game (up until now) for a while now. Vicky single-leggedly held down Today when Dylan was on leave and SHY-nelle's gams were in Witness Protection as usual. 

Vicky has a petite but physically-fit pair of legs with a decent amount of length for her size... and she has no problem putting them to work.  She's stolen the show repeatedly, building an underrated but highly impressive portfolio since 2020. Vicky's got some bangers on her highlight reel, full of replay-worthy moves.  

If her gams got more airplay she'd undoubtedly rank Top 10.

ELLE DUNCAN

Legs: 9.5

Performance: 7

Consistency: 8

Hose Game: 9

Shoe Game: 7.5

Legwise, Caramel Elle is in the same elite ballpark as her teammate Nicole Briscoe, who I consider the gold standard of gams. Although she certainly isn't neglected by This Thing of Ours, I still think Elle's legs deserve way more respect because she has one of the most phenomenal pairs out.

Gone are the homegrown hocks she threw around with reckless abandon (which we all loved).  She's whittled down that thickness into a leaner, meaner, finely-chiseled pair of legs that contend for a title.

Elle's pantyhose game is also Top Tier and she has a penchant for sheer black, turning an already lethal pair of gams into weapons of mass seduction. Her outfits range from casual to elegant but always insanely sexy. For the most part, her heel game is airtight.  

She's on a hot streak of epic proportions right now and with Briscoe's legtime decreasing, Elle is tailor-made to wear the crown at ESPN.

HARRIS FAULKNER

Legs: 8

Performance: 7

Consistency: 9

Hose Game: 10

Shoe Game: 10

 

Is she the thicker, more voluptuous Harris of old? Absolutely not. Could she stand to hit the gym and add a few pounds? Most definitely, she could. But the utter disrespect she receives is crazy to me. Even as a shell of her LEGendary self, Harris is still pretty damn good.

 

Her once-strong calf and thigh muscles have dissipated with age (the opposite of Robach). However, Harris's dedication to pantyhose literally covers those flaws; nylon always looks better on sleeker stems. And now that Sandra & Melissa are gone, somebody has to hold down the Pantyhose Section of the couch and keep Hose Heads happy.

Harris wears classy but short dresses (at times the shortest on the couch), gourmet heels and maximizes her nylon-coated legs with a disciplined sideways cross.  Outnumbered could do a lot worse for their lead host. You think you want Julie Banderas... til she shows up in pants 95% of the time. 

DARLENE RODRIGUEZ

Legs: 9

Performance: 8

Consistency: 6

Hosiery: 1

Shoe Game: 8.5

D-Rod is overlooked mainly because she's teammates with perennially popular Maria LaRosa, Rookie of the Year Adelle Caballero and once upon a time, the LEGendary Lauren Scala. She also minimalized herself with some pedestrian performances.  But when D-Rod gets hot, she gets RED HOT. 

Perhaps Adelle lit a fire under her because Darlene has been at the top of her game these past few months, putting in major legwork.  D-Rod has a primo pair of gams that look sexy in a stance but she scores most of her points during the sitdown segments, where both her game and her hemline goes up a notch.

There was a brief time where Scala was in her first slump and D-Rod took over the show with some of the spiciest outfits ever, looking like a Top 10'er. That's the conundrum of Darlene and other "Could Be Queens" on this list; she has superstar capability but oftentimes sells herself short. That hasn't been the case for several weeks now, though. She's been in rare form.

MARGARET BRENNAN

Legs: 9.5

Performance: 5

Consistency: 4

Hose Game: 6

Shoe Game: 9

Margaret is the type of highfalutin, conceited, classy mature babe that drives me nuts (in a good way). I've never met the woman so I don't know if she's truly a stuck up snob... but dang it, she sure looks it and that appeals to me.

What I also find appealing is her perfectly chiseled, smooth-as-ivory pair of legs, which remind me very much of her teammate (and one of my all-time faves) Norah O'Donnell.  We rarely get to see Margaret's fancy gams but when we do it's always worth the wait, whether it's through the glass table of Face the Nation or a black pantyhose LEGstravaganza on The Late Show. 

Her limited quantity of legshows actually make them even more coveted. Margaret's actually increased her value by stingily rationing out the leggage but if she ever decided to clamp down and assert her dominance, Marge is more than capable of conquering the overall #1 spot. 

CHRISTAL YOUNG

Legs: 9.5

Performance: 10

Consistency: 10

Hose Game: 9.5

Shoe Game: 9

Christal’s perfect balance of phenomenal legs and enthusiastic performance should be way more celebrated but for whatever reason, her high-hemline heroics are mostly overlooked. As a newswoman Christal may be local but legwise she can compete for a national title against the best in the business.

She has a long, lean, chiseled pair of stems with deep definition lines around her quads and calves... it's obvious Christal doesn't skip Leg Day at the gym. She works those gorgeous gams with intensity no matter how short the dress, racking up a slew eye-popping performances. 

As FOX's resident Fashion Expert, Christal's shoe game is top-notch.  She also loves hosiery, recently showing off her brand new fishnets on Instagram (much to my delight). My man Reggie Brown is the only YouTuber regularly posting Christal clips.  She's woefully undervalued and slept-on but Leg Lovers savvy enough to follow Christal will appreciate her greatness.

RACHEL CAMPOS DUFFY

Legs: 9.25

Performance: 7

Consistency: 6

Hose Game: 0

Shoe Game: 9

Rachel doesn't have good legs. She has great legs... and for years I've been telling anyone who'll listen.  Some of ya'all groaned anytime it was announced that The Notorious RCD would be weekend host of Fox & Friends... but I was ecstatic because that was around the time she hit her stride on Outnumbered, pitting her chiseled, aged-to-perfection gams against the very best.

RCD is underrated due in part to her scattershot inconsistency... she’s dressed too conservative at some of the worst times. But now that she’s in a groove, showing off those fine as wine legs more frequently, RCD is garnering more attention, making me look like a genius (I’m not though). 

FOX is in the midst of a resurgence, working its way back into contention one legshow at a time.  Rachel’s gams are among the best in their arsenal and if she ever really went for the jugular, The Notorious RCD would leapfrog many elite names atop the Leg Queen rankings. 

 

EVA PILGRIM

Legs: 10

Performance: 7

Consistency: 5

Hose Game: 0

Shoe Game: 7.5

I've been a fan of Eva's for a very long time and always felt she had one of the best pairs of legs I'd ever seen on TV. Leftover baby weight has now given those gams extra thickness without an ounce of sloppiness, enhancing an already amazing pair of gams into an even more phenomenal pair of healthy hocks. 

Eva can beat any Top Tier newsbabe in a leg duel on any given day... and that includes Briscoe, Compagno, Zee or any other heavy hitter. She dominated Dr. Jen Ashton, an elite leg queen of the game, in a one-on-one duel last summer. 

Limited playing time and bouts of inconsistency are the only reasons Eva hasn't worn the crown. Her LEGacy isn't the deepest but it's still formidable enough to put her in elite company. She has G.O.A.T. potential.  If the stars and planets align, Eva could ride a hot streak all the way to The Throne. At full throttle she'd be unstoppable.

Laura Rutledge: White Gucci Hose

 

My Hosiery Sense ain't as sharp as it used to be.

Laura Rutldege, one of my Top 10 Leg Queens, has a very strong pantyhose game. She’s worn all kinds of nylons on ESPN, from sheer black to sparkly fishnets; but yesterday’s white pair was truly amazing, especially with the Jane Jetson-like outfit and exquisite heels. 

However, there was one important thing I didn’t notice when I saw Laura on TV: The pair of pantyhose were (gulp) patterned. I didn’t catch those fine details until I got a more in-depth inspection of Laura’s IG photos, posted above. Looks like the nylons are decorated with the interlocking G’s of Gucci, making this a very expensive, elite pair of hosiery. 

This latest Pantyhose Season has been the most eventful in a while, with every babe from Dylan (of course) to Elle Duncan to Molly Qerim to Dagen McDowell going deep in their hosiery drawers.  Lara may have stolen the season with this exquisite pair. 

LAUREN SHEHADI: The Queen Hath Returned 👑

LAUREN SHEHADI

Stats (1-10 scale)

Legs: 10

Performance: 10

Consistency: 20 (no one better)

Hose Game: 0

Shoe Game: 9

When I dropped my list of Top 10 Leg Queens, someone pointed out the absence of Lauren Shehadi, who I've considered the pound-for-pound BEST in the biz for the past few years and one of the all-time greats. First of all, that list was done before baseball season began, I just published it afterwards. And secondly...

 

Lauren She-HOTTIE, the undisputed and unrivaled Leg Queen of TV, gets HER OWN DAMN POST. She doesn't have to share space with anyone, she's in a class by herself.

Shehadi was my MVP of the LEaGue last year... an elite few came close but no one was better. Every year on MLB's Opening Day, she explodes out the gate in a blaze of leggage and keeps her pedal to the metal until the final bell tolls on Baseball season. 

There are no breaks, no drop-offs, no PANTS. Just day after unrelenting day of high-octane leg action with skirts that get shorter as the season counts down.  There is no newsbabe alive that can keep up with Shehadi's relentless pace. You can set your watch to her legshows; she is arguably the most consistent newsbabe in history... and she brings her A-game every single performance.

 

MLBN is smart enough to realize Shehadi is a ratings magnet and allows the show to revolve around her gazillion-dollar gams.

As for the hardware, I've always said that Shehadi is only 2nd to Robach for Best Legs on TV. Again, there's an elite few who can challenge but Shehadi has a mountain of assets stacked in her favor.  

 

Her athletic, physically-fit gams are packed with muscle tone and finely-chiseled definition lines. Now they look even leaner and meaner.  The unique, almost pigeon-toed shape of her stems is unlike anything I'd seen prior... but their astounding length pushes her further into Mount Legmore territory. 

 

Even the great Sara Walsh,  who has an equally epic pair of legs, paid homage to Shehadi on Instagram today. GAMe recognizes GAMe...

 

 

I love it when newsbabes compliment each other's legs.

 

There are some hungry young challengers waiting to snatch the Sportsbabe crown from Shehadi's pretty head: MJ Acosta, Malika Andrews, Laura Rutledge and Ashley Brewer are all sharpening their blades.

 

Outside of sports, Dylan Dreyer (my current #1 until SheHOTTIE gets rolling) is the midst of a historic run fueled by Shehadi's only weak point: Hosiery.  Robach is viewed by many as last year's co-MVP and like her fellow G.O.A.T. Tom Brady, she looks ready to take her umpteenth title.

 

But I have a feeling that when the smoke clears, Queen Shehadi will once again sit atop the throne like Conan the Barbarian.  I think that even with a late start and early exit, Shehadi's inhuman volume of production is insurmountable. 

 

Regardless, this is one of the overall best years the Leg Lovin' community has seen in a long time... and it's just getting started.
