Maria Taylor got the sendoff she deserved on her last show with Football Night in America before taking maternity leave.
The entire crew put together a video for her, congratulating her and wishing her the best as she prepares to welcome a child into the world. It was also revealed that her baby is going to be a boy on Sunday’s broadcast.
Here’s what Taylor had to say about her sendoff:
“Thank you to my NBC & FNIA Family for this wonderful send off! It’s been amazing to be your Sunday Night QB week to week, while growing my franchise player,” said Taylor.” I have never felt more blessed to be somewhere! Thank you everyone for the well wishes for my family and I.”
