Joe Dubin. The name is synonymous with excellence. Someone has voted him Nashville’s Media Darling and it’s so, so true. 

Joe has been a fixture on Nashville’s television screens for years while also branching into radio and acting as the “injured party” in ads for local personal injury attorneys. Some of these ventures have been more successful than others. 

Aside from his duties on your TV screens, Joe’s hobbies include photobombing celebrities in the entertainment and sports worlds. His exploits are, of course, legendary.

Take a look around the official website for Nashville’s Media Darling and read through his musings in the blog. We think you’ll be at least mildly entertained.

Joe was raised without his dad in his life, but he's obviously crafted his life that would make any sensible dad proud! He's also written a book called, "Create The Chaos" that can be purchased at Amazon:
