Joe Toohey Bio, Age, Fox 8 News, Height, Parents, Career, Wife, Net Worth, and Salary

Toohey serves as a weekday evening anchor at WJW-TV FOX 8 News in Cleveland, Ohio. He is glad to join the FOX8 News family. Joe co-anchors FOX 8 News at 7 p.m. alongside Elizabeth Noreika and looks forward to putting his background in passionate interest and politics in all things outer space and technology to excellent use. Upon graduating from University, Joe spent a decade working in TV journalism in both Washington, DC, and New York.  After JCU, he was privileged with the Tim Russert Post-Graduate Fellowship allowing him to jumpstart his career at the late Russert’s iconic news program.

Some of his finest segments were when he climbed the George Washington Bridge (well… there was an elevator – but Joe likes to narrate how he climbed it.), when he visited the government’s second-largest gold vaults at the West Point Mint, or when he followed the US Coast Guard for a demonstration of a helicopter rescue in New York Harbor (he didn’t jump in.).

Joe also spent almost six years with NBC News’ Meet the Press, eventually becoming a producer where he covered some of the biggest political stories in the country. He also produced interviews with major political and cultural figures — including past (and current) presidents —  leading government officials and toured rallies and debates to report numerous election cycles. He also obtained an Emmy award as a reporter for a story about giant abandoned busts of every U.S. president.

After NBC, Joe opted to shift from behind the camera to being in front of it. In early 2016, he was hired as a reporter with FOX5 in New York City. Using his experience in political journalism from NBC, Joe was nominated as the station’s lead Political Reporter reporting local and national elections (including the 2016 Republican National Convention here in Cleveland). While at FOX5 New York, Joe assisted in launching, creating, and anchoring the station’s Noon newscast, aptly titled “The Noon.”
