This morning Tom Joyner Morning Show (TJMS) vet comedian J Anthony Brown walked out of the LA recording studio where he does the show and stated “I’m Quitting.” Brown is still under contract with Reach Media (Tom Joyner and Radio One’s company) so the company is trying to set up a meeting to resolve the issue.  Radio Facts has obtained audio of the exchange.  Here is J Anthony Brown quitting the Tom Joyner Morning Show (TJMS) . This was all done during a break off the air.

I believe this is all a stunt!!! Mark my word. They get y’all every time.
Were they on the air, or on a commercial break ?? I understand that Tom Joyner cut J. Anthony Brown’s pay, but gave Huggy Lowdown a pay increase, a few weeks ago. Could this be the reason why J no longer wanted to participate during Huggy’s air time ??
Those white woman got him again damn
What you all are not seeing is that he did this when they were off the air ,and why they chose to put it out there is on them not him.
He didn’t quit live on air. I am sure when he arrived at work, he didn’t expect to quit. I will give him the benefit of the doubt…I am sure something went wrong.
I agree that huggys role on the show is useless and he has never been funny . I figure he must be a relative of an executive.
All I can say is that, I have been there with my job and l did something about, l was looking for another job. Until they realized it was not fair. If I did not need a job, l would probably do the same. No notice or anything. Do they give you a notice when they let you go. Hell no. If you are good at what you do. Your experiences will speak for themselves. Jay have more than enough. He made the show. That other slim shaddy whatever his name is need to go find something to do, because I am tried of him.
I work for an at will employer, and when I leave they’ll be given the same courtesy at which I’ve seen them give others NONE!!! Smart people have jobs before leaving, the courtesy of a two week notice is just that a courtesy. Every employer doesn’t deserve it. Cut my pay in half and see how long I stick around to talk about it ???
Haven’t been able to stomach listening to the show for years now. Basically because Tom and Sybil are not funny, yet laugh at everything. J. Anthony is a comedian and I’m sure it annoys him too. Not to mention Tom has been “DJing for so long not to know more about the history of music, musicians or their fans. I have tried to listen recently and its so awful. I’m not hating, not throwing shade just saying it’s too silly for me. Syndicated radio (esp, Ricky Smiley) has ruined radio. So I stream through my phone or listen to the jazz.
It appaulds me when individuals say he shouldn’t quit that way. When they are firing your behind do they give a two weeks notice.
Why should you have to give a job 2 weeks notice , they don’t give you 2 weeks notice when they fire you

He shld have done it in a more professional way; no matter what. There is a way to leave any employment.
J made the show. Tom should personally intervene and try to get him back. I’m leaving with J.
I wishJ nothing but the best……….J will be just fine. love you J
I listened to the TJMS through an entire military career; All I can say is that TOM, JAY, And SYBIL are a perfect team. When either of them are missing, even for a few days, the show just doesn’t seem the same. They compliment each other. There must be a way to fix this situation. I refuse to listen any other radio Steve, Rickey, etc. I listen to the TJMS–grown people radio!!
If “Jay” felt that he needed to leave the show for business reasons, so be it. However as a listener of the show for years on a daily bases “Jay” was a great part of my listening pleasure and I’m sure many others may say the same. Therefore what about us the true listeners and supporters who also supported “Jay”? I think he should have walked away from us with a little more care and concern because many of us support “Jay”. Many of us would have never thought that “Jay” would have come into work one morning and depart from us in this fashion. I do not have any issues with him leaving his job because of business reasons, it was the way he departed from some of his true fans. Good luck “Jay” you will be missed.
The show will never be the same without J. Also think about it this, they replaced him with five different comedians that shows his worth there. Loyalty Tom you have none.
All they do is talk about people ! Tom Joyner wants everyone to agree with his views ? It’s really a corn-ball show, that’s why he could never get Sade or Prince to come on live or go on a cruise.
J made the show! If your not comfortable leave before it gets worst. I’m missing him already. They acting like Kelly rippa, when Michael left what’s with all these different comedians. let Sybil and tom continue as they are and hope they make it without J. you don’t miss the water till the well runs dry.
Myra and that other lady left I wonder if they left over the same circumstances. Hope the show survives.
Bring J Anthony back please the show needs him.
J is missed
