Bryant began his radio career in his hometown of Virginia Beach, VA at WGH-FM (97 Star) in 1988, there was where he inherited his current radio name Cubby (a name given to him by WGH DJs Tony Macrini and Jeff Moreau) for being so young (at the time 16) and in radio. It was a take off of Alabama football coach Paul 'Bear' Bryant (no relation). In September 1990, Bryant joined 104.1 KRBE in Houston, TX as Night Host and Music Director.

You can get a very quick glimpse of Bryant during the closing credits of the 2000 movie 'Longshot'. Bryant played a stock reporter in footage that never made the final cut of the movie. To show their gratitude, the directors at least got a little of what took Bryant over 4 hours to tape into the end of the flick. This entire paragraph definitely sounds like something Cubby would write for himself, why would any directors show gratitude for someone in a bit role?
Bryant was seen on HBO's 'NSync - Live at Madison Square Garden' in 2001.
