John Tournour (born November 23, 1965, in New York City, New York), better known as J.T. the Brick, is a sports talk radio host based in Las Vegas, Nevada. His show airs weekdays from 5pm to 8pm Pacific time (8pm to 11pm Eastern) on Fox Sports Radio. Tournour is a graduate of SUNY Geneseo.
Tournour, a former stock broker, got his start in sports radio after becoming a frequent caller to The Jim Rome Show. After winning the inaugural "Smack-Off" in 1995, Tournour was offered a job hosting a late-night Sunday show at KMAX-Los Angeles.
From there, Tournour moved his show to KFMB-San Diego, where he only spent a few weeks, before being offered a show on the now-defunct Las Vegas-based Sports Fan Radio Network. Tournour's late-night show lasted five years, until the network's demise in 2001. Also while working in Las Vegas, Tournour called the very first XFL game featuring the Las Vegas Outlaws over local radio. During this time, Tournour also hosted an afternoon show on San Francisco-based radio station KNBR. At one time, KNBR had Tournour for his local show, his four-hour national show, and an overnight replay of at least a portion of that national show before the next broadcast day began.
In June 2001, Tournour landed at the upstart Fox Sports Radio, hosting an afternoon show. He was later moved to the evening, hosting a late-night syndicated sports show on SportsFan Radio Network. The show got shifted to 3 pm Pacific, 6 pm Eastern, in 2012.
Tournour also hosted, until the end of the 2005 season, a Sunday night show, Fox Sunday Game Time React, where he discussed the football games of the day with Bryan Cox. That show was eventually replaced by a similar show hosted by John Fricke and Chris Landry.
