Andrea Joyce Kuslits[1] (born August 17, 1954), better known as Andrea Joyce, is an American sportscaster who works for NBC Sports after working 10 years with CBS Sports.
Her work in local television included a stint as the weekend sports anchor for WFAA-TV in Dallas in 1987 and as a news anchor and field reporter for KMGH-TV in Denver. She also worked as a news anchor for KTVH-TV in Wichita, Kansas (now KWCH-DT). She also worked a stint at Detroit's NBC affiliate WDIV-TV channel 4.
Joyce joined CBS Sports in August 1989. She made her on-air debut at the 1989 U.S. Open Tennis Championships. She worked three Winter Games for CBS Sports, serving as co-host of the weekend and Opening and Closing Ceremony coverage at the 1994 Lillehammer Games and the 1998 Nagano Games. Joyce served as co-host of the CBS' weekend coverage during the 1992 Albertville Games. While interviewing USA's Donna Weinbrecht, after winning a freestyle skiing-moguls gold medal in 1992, Weinbrecht's mother rushed up (midway through the interview) to her daughter and literally knocked Joyce off the air.
She also served as the play-by-play commentator for rhythmic gymnastics in Athens. In Sydney, Joyce also covered women's soccer and women's water polo, in addition to contributing to the Sports Desk. She served as a reporter during NBC's coverage of the 2000 Olympic Diving Trials and the 2000 Olympic Swimming Trials. She also served as a reporter for NBA on NBC and WNBA on NBC broadcasts. Joyce currently covers gymnastics and figure skating for NBC Sports as well as anchoring the NBC Sports Update.
In 2010, she served as the reporter for short track and figure skating during the 2010 Winter Olympics on NBC.
