Last year, comedian J. Anthony Brown temporarily left the Tom Joyner Morning Show over a rumored pay dispute. After announcing his formal resignation last week, Brown said that his exit from the show after more than twenty years had nothing to do with his pay.
“It was not a salary dispute,” Brown told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “It was based on me wanting to venture out and have my own weekend show. That’s it. We couldn’t come to terms. It was just time for me to leave… Sometimes people just disagree and part ways. That’s just what happened. It was absolutely the best job I’ve ever had. The most fun I ever had.”
