FOX Sports Live with Jay and Dan is FOX Sports' 1 challenge to ESPN's "SportsCenter'' in the form of "Fox Sports Live'' lasted a little more than two years, with the effort failing in part because traditional sports highlight shows no longer have broad appeal. A new iteration focuses on the chemistry of returning co-anchors Jay Onrait and Dan O'Toole (this time they even get title recognition!) in a format that showcases their personalities, senses of humor and interviewing skills.

On February 22, 2016, Fox Sports Live was re-launched with a revamped format as Fox Sports Live with Jay and Dan; the new format places a larger focus on comedy bits, sketches, and interviews, more in line with a late-night talk show rather than serving as a conventional sports news program.
