Jimmy Johnson talks Super Bowl LIV, emotional moment he found out he'll be in the Hall of Fame
Fox Sports commentator Jimmy Johnson reflects on his legendary career on and off the field and previews the 49ers-Chiefs Super Bowl on 'Fox & Friends.'
FOX Sports has taken over Miami for the network's ninth Super Bowl, offering more than 100 hours off live programming across FOX, FS1 and FOX Deportes with a massive South Beach studio constructed specifically for the big game.
FOX's crew moves a few miles west from the beach to Hard Rock Stadium by Super Bowl LIV’s 6:30 p.m. ET kickoff when FOX Sports lead NFL play-by-play announcer Joe Buck and Hall of Famer Troy Aikman will call the battle between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers.

It’s the sixth Super Bowl that Buck and Aikman have worked together, the most by any active broadcasting duo. Erin Andrews and Chris Myers will report from the field with two former NFL officiating executives -- Mike Pereira and Dean Blandino -- serving as rules analysts. The kickoff will come after seven hours of pregame programming featuring fan favorites Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long, Michael Strahan, Jimmy Johnson and Curt Menefee, among many other FOX Sports personalities.
Joe Buck and Troy Aikman will call Super Bowl LIV on FOX.
Joe Buck
Buck, the son of late broadcasting legend Jack Buck, will call his sixth Super Bowl in Miami when the San Francisco 49ers battle the Kansas City Chiefs. He has been FOX Sports’ lead play-by-play broadcaster for the NFL on FOX since 2002 and calls "Americas Game of the Week" in addition to "Thursday Night Football."
The seven-time Emmy Award winner also calls Major League Baseball and the USGA on FOX. Buck has called five Super Bowls, 21 MLB All-Star Games, 21 World Series and 23 MLB League Championship Series for FOX Sports.
Joe Buck has been FOX Sports’ lead play-by-play broadcaster for the NFL on FOX since 2002.
The Indiana University grad joined FOX Sports in 1994 and became the youngest person to ever call a full season of NFL action. He was the network’s lead MLB play-by-play announcer by 1996, when he became the youngest person to call the World Series at age 27. He has emerged as a pop culture icon, appearing in a variety of television shows and movies, often poking fun at himself in the process.
The annual Joe Buck Classic golf tournament has raised more than $5 million for St. Louis Children’s Hospital since it began in 2000.

Aikman’s Hall of Fame playing career featured 45 Dallas Cowboys passing records, including throwing for 32,942 yards and 165 touchdowns.
Aikman’s Cowboys won three Super Bowls and are considered one of the greatest teams in NFL history. He earned six Pro Bowls, the 1992 Super Bowl MVP, 1997 Walter Payton Man of the Year, made the 1989 NFL All-Rookie Team and was the first overall selection in the 1989 NFL Draft.
