It was announced on the show that Elmore had died at the age of 80 after a long illness.

A long illness took the life of our beloved friend and Tennessee Crossroads host for 37 years this morning. There’s no easy way to say this, the show wrote on X, which used to be Twitter.

“A great person and a close friend have died. “We will miss his amazing skills, his kindness, and his great sense of humor,” said Ed Jones, Executive Producer of Tennessee Crossroads.

He wrote, “Tennessee Crossroads was his baby and as Joe would have wanted, it will continue, as will his spirit.” The show promised to keep making episodes.

A Nashville Public Television show called Tennessee Crossroads has been on since 1986 and last aired in 1987.

The show went all over the state and showed things that are important in small towns by focusing on important people, places, foods, restaurants, and events.

Elmore had been in charge of the show since the beginning, and it was a regular in Tennessee homes.

He was also on Detroit Muscle, an NBC Sports show that airs every week and is about American muscle cars.

Elmore also had a car show on Spike TV called Horsepower, which ran from 1997 to 2013.
