Katie Nolan

Katherine Beth Nolan (born January 28, 1987) is an American sports media personality, podcaster, and host. She currently hosts the Sirius XM podcast Casuals, as well as the radio show Fan Service.

Nolan formerly hosted a weekly ESPN podcast called Sports? With Katie Nolan, Always Late with Katie Nolan on ESPN2, and Garbage Time with Katie Nolan on Fox Sports. She won a Sports Emmy Award in 2016 for Garbage Time and was nominated for another in 2019 and 2020 for Always Late. She has been a commentator for Apple TV+'s Friday Night Baseball and created short-form content at NBC Sports.

Nolan was raised in Framingham, Massachusetts. In 1997, at age 10, Nolan won the gold medal in rhythmic gymnastics at the Junior Olympics. She graduated from Framingham High School in 2005, and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations with a minor in Dance from Hofstra University in 2009.

In 2011, while bartending in Boston at the White Horse Tavern, Nolan started a blog called Bitches Can't Hang, which focused on pop culture and news. At that time, Nolan also began working with Guyism, part of the Fox Sports Yardbarker network, where she produced and hosted the YouTube series Guyism Speed Round. In her videos, she delivered a monologue of comedic and sarcastic one-liners in the style of Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update. In an interview with GQ in 2018, Nolan expressed regret for how Bitches Can't Hang and her "being mean about women" jump-started her career.

In August 2013, Nolan joined Fox Sports 1 as a digital correspondent for Crowd Goes Wild, a sports/entertainment talk show hosted by Regis Philbin. Nolan also hosted the FoxSports.com web series No Filter with Katie Nolan. A September 2014 video featuring commentary on the Ray Rice domestic violence incident was picked up by The New York Times and received praise in multiple media outlets. In January 2015, Nolan appeared as a panelist on an episode of The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore.

Nolan was formerly the host of the weekly Fox Sports 1 show Garbage Time with Katie Nolan, which premiered on March 15, 2015. Deadspin praised Nolan's April 12, 2015 episode where she criticized the blog posting titled "How to land a husband at the Masters", which had appeared on a fellow Fox reporter's blog. Garbage Time won a Sports Emmy for 'Outstanding Social TV Experience' on May 10, 2016.

In September 2016, Nolan began hosting NFL Films Presents, airing on Fox Sports 1. NFL and Fox Sports 1 made a joint decision to choose Nolan as the new host. She was the social media reporter for Super Bowl LI.

On February 23, 2017, it was announced that Garbage Time would either be retooled from its current format, or Fox Sports would find a new hosting vehicle for Nolan. After seven months without a show, Nolan left Fox Sports in September 2017.
