One-on-one with Jayne Kennedy, the groundbreaking female sports anchor
Pat Harvey sits down with none other than Jayne Kennedy, the iconic female sports anchor who paved the way for many behind her when she joined The NFL Today on CBS in 1978.

That’s what natural beauty “looked” like. She looks like a woman that thinks it’s still 1977
Jayne is a beautiful, elegant woman. I met her once at church and she was gracious and even more stunning in person. Our younger generation should use her as a role model.

She looks washed up. Jayne was a beautiful Ohio Lady! She looks old, and could not be a: Halle Berry, Cindy Crawford, Yasmeen Ghauri,Veronica Webb, Jennifer Lopez or Christy Turlington. Models and Actresses live for the camera ( the women above put the V in Vain). Jayne Kennedy is and was a real person!
As a little girl. I thought she was beautiful and strong. I wanted to be like her. Wonderful to see her well, still gorgeous and classy!
Both ladies have lovely speaking voices.
Beautiful Jayne Kennedy, I always admire her beauty, talent & charisma. Great to see her in this interview. She still is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing this awesome video.🙏🏽💗
What a breath of fresh air! So humble and down to earth.
Jane Kennedy is an incredible woman, she paved the way for women sports journalist PERIOD!

Beyond her natural beauty, Jayne is so humble and has such class. She seems so unaware of how much she's appreciated and adored.
She was not just stunning but intelligent. I remember her coming up when I was a teenager. She is Black History.

If you're older like me you really miss interviews like this. A professional interview between 2 intelligent sisters with mutual respect.
She was the guest speaker at Grambling my freshman year and I remember being so excited to meet her she is such a beautiful person and she has aged so gracefully.
Pat Harvey you did a wonderful interview with Ms. Jayne Kennedy.

Nice to see you get your flowers! You are a trailblazer for us women. You made it ok for us to talk about sports and have men and boys take us seriously. You made us little girls believe we could do anything a man could do. Thank you Jayne!!!! We love you!!❤❤❤
Hi, Jane Kennedy is such a wonderful human being. She stopped in a store (Sally's Beauty Supply) I was working at in Santa Monica, California and took a photo with me. Very sweet lady and I'm honored to have met her. God bless her always! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙂
It's funny how Oprah Winfrey dedicated a whole show about how she was motivated and inspired by Mary Tyler Moore (A Fake TV Journalist), but I don't recall her ever acknowledging this drop dead gorgeous, beautiful & talented REAL JOURNALIST right here. I, as well as every other young black girl, grew up watching and admiring Mrs. Jane, so I'm glad she is finally getting her just-do because it's long overdue 🙌💕

What an ignorant comment tainted with racism! 1. It's normal to be inspired by TV characters or shows. 2. Jayne and Oprah are close in age, so she didn't grow up being influence by Jayne Kennedy. Oprah was already in journalism by then 3. Mary Tyler Moore is OLDER than Oprah, so she was influenced by her as a child. 4. There were maybe TWO women on TV that had careers outside of the home at that time. It was a brave and risky move for Mary to take on that role 5. Many of us little black girls and women were inspired by the Mary Tyler Moore Show. We weren't hyper focused on her race. So you need to need to have a several seats!
Oh my God! She is still as beautiful as ever! So glad the she is finally being recognized. She will forever be one of the most beautiful women ever!

Haven't seen Jayne in years! The weekly Jet magazine was a staple in our home when I was growing up in the 70s and Jayne was featured quite often. Jayne is just as beautiful today as she was 50 years ago! I couldn't help but notice the slight tremors during the interview and hope her health is okay. 💯

She has always been so extraordinarily beautiful, classy and humble.
When my sister and I were little girls, we would always describe how pretty someone was by the metric of Jayne Kennedy. She was so pretty…like Jane Kennedy! 🤣 We also loved how classy she was. Her style was like our mother’s…very nicely dressed, hair always done etc. I’m so very happy to see her happy and thriving. Many continued blessings to her and her family. What a trailblazer!!! 🏆🙏🏾💯
I absolutely adore JAYNE KENNEDY! CLASS AT ITS BEST!!!!
What a revelation in life to see Jayne Kennedy do sports commentary with such flair and depth in the football arena. Too see her eloquently discuss the game and for so many reasons bring in new fans . Seeing a Black person of color and a female commentator holding her own showed how impactful your contribution can be if excellence is your calling card.
That's what you call, aging gracefully! She looks good and she's still proud to be black!

What a beautiful and humble lady. I spent a good chunk of my youth mimicking Jane’s velvety voice. Thank you for your contribution and paving the way for so many African American women.
Truly Amazing Woman! Such Rare Wisdom!
Pat Harvey, thank you for this interview! I met Jayne Kennedy as a teenager at Stix, Baer & Fuller! She is not only beautiful, inside and out but she is intelligent, kind, poised and magnificent! She is still a beautiful trailblazer.❤💜❤
Jayne was always naturally pretty and feminine. Always classy with a natural appearing shape. Well spoken. Glad she is living her life.
Jayne still got IT! Such a natural beauty! She and Ali looked so good together.
This woman is still exquisite ❤
Jayne Kennedy is my forever SHERO!!!!! Respect to Brett Musburger.

Jayne Kennedy was my childhood crush. Glad she is doing well and still fine as hell. Words can not express how significant it was seeing her on TV at that time. It was important for women, for Blacks, and more directly, for Black women. I want to thank her. Because I know it was not easy, but she did it with excellence, grace and dignity.
I always loved Jayne Kennedy-Overton. I was a very young girl bout 9-10 seeing her in TV. She was a trailblazer back then as she is now. Beautiful Black Queen and thank you for giving Mrs. Overton her flowers she truly truly deserves them. 😊❤
We still love her, may God bless her and her daughters.

I absolutely adored Jayne Kennedy when she was young and possessed extraordinary great beauty. In this interview I noticed something that saddened me and that is I noticed Jayne seemed to have trimmers and jerkey type movements. Is she ill I wonder? May God bless her❤❤
Listen, I remember this lady. SHE WAS & IS STILL A TRAILBLAZER!!! She knew more about sports than the men! Not only that, but as the FIRST BLACK FEMALE SPORTSCASTER! My, my, how far we have come when it comes to the sports reporting industry!!
This was a wonderful interview!!
Ms. Kennedy was always so classy and articulate. Thank you for continuing to be an inspiration....😊
Always looked up to her. She is a beautiful and gracious woman.
