“I’m beyond thrilled to be returning to Fox 5 as a member of the Good Day New York family, while also continuing my weekly hang with my brothers on Fox NFL Sunday,” said Menefee. “And how cool is it that I get to share this homecoming with the legendary Rosanna Scotto? Way back in the day, my Fox journey began in that same New York studio sitting beside Rosanna on the 10 o’clock news. This full circle moment is a dream come true. There’s no place like New York. No place. I can’t wait to get back to the energy of the city, the culture, the restaurants, the people, everything that makes it the greatest city in the world.”
In 2016, Menefee authored Losing Isn’t Everything: The Untold Stories of Hidden Lessons Behind the Toughest Losses in Sports History.
“Curt is a pillar of the Fox Sports family. We’re so fortunate to have him guiding Fox NFL Sunday and welcoming in our viewers each Sunday for almost two decades,” said Brad Zager, president of production & operations, Fox Sports. “He’s a tremendous talent with a versatile skill set, and we’re thrilled to share Curt with our Fox 5 family in New York.”
