Maria Taylor Makes History as First Black Woman to Present Lombardi Trophy
Maria Taylor made history as the first Black woman to present the Vince Lombardi Trophy at Super Bowl LX, with the Seattle Seahawks defeating the New England Patriots 29-13, NBC said.
- At Levi's Stadium Sunday, Maria Taylor, NBC Sports host, made history as the first Black woman to host a Super Bowl pregame and present the Lombardi Trophy.
- Her career began in college sports coverage and she left ESPN in 2021 before joining NBC, where she became the first full-time female host of Football Night in America.
- On-Air, Taylor said `Don't let them take the mic,' emphasizing wrist strength and microphone control as essential for the trophy ceremony.
- The assignment highlights NBC's trust in Taylor and the growing visibility of women in sports broadcasting, as she became the first woman to present the Lombardi Trophy since 1992.
- Facing a high-profile choice, NBC picked Taylor after Terry Bradshaw presented last year, renewing interest in her career following her 2021 move from ESPN.
