color analyst
Broadcast booth expert
A color analyst is the member of a broadcast team who provides expert commentary and analysis during sports coverage, complementing the play-by-play announcer who describes the action.
The name comes from "adding color"—insight, background, and interpretation that enriches the straightforward account of what's happening: The color analyst broke down why the defense collapsed on that play.
Color analysts are typically former players or coaches.
