From 2006-2008 Cubby served as the co-host and sidekick to Whoopi Goldberg on the nationally syndicated morning show Wake Up With Whoopi. Before joining Whoopi Goldberg as co-host of the morning show, Bryant was at crosstown sister station WHTZ serving as their Afternoon Drive Disc Jockey and Music Director.
Bryant comenzó su carrera en la radio en su ciudad natal de Virginia Beach, VA en WGH-FM (97 Star) en 1988, allí fue donde heredó su actual nombre de radio Cubby (un nombre que le dieron los DJ de WGH Tony Macrini y Jeff Moreau) para siendo tan joven (en ese momento 16) y en la radio. Fue un despegue del entrenador de fútbol de Alabama Paul "Bear" Bryant (sin relación). En septiembre de 1990, Bryant se unió a 104.1 KRBE en Houston, TX como Night Host y Director Musical. En abril de 1996, Bryant comenzó su mandato en WHTZ (Z100) en la ciudad de Nueva York como anfitrión y director musical de Afternoon Drive. En 2000, Bryant dio la vuelta al mundo con el grupo Backstreet Boys. to promote the release of Black & Blue, the boys traveled around the world in 100 hours to Sweden, Japan, Australia, South Africa, Brazil, and the US; 55 of the hours were spent traveling and 45 were spent making public appearances.
In mid-2006, Bryant announced he would be leaving WHTZ after a ten-year run with the station to co-host Wake Up With Whoopi. WKTU cancelled Wake Up With Whoopi back in November 2007.
In January 2008, Bryant left Wake Up With Whoopi, still airing in syndication in a few markets, to return to WKTU, this time as the station's solo morning host. In 2001, He and Cindy Vero co-hosted KTU’s Cubby and Cindy morning show. In 2014 he was joined by Carolina Bermudez.

Video appearances
In November 2001, Bryant appeared on Hollywood Squares as a contestant on "Radio DJ Week". He went to the bonus round but eventually lost. Bryant did however win $12,500 for the charity Musicians On Call.
Bryant is featured in the video for Walk Away by Kelly Clarkson. He is the DJ heard introducing the song over the radio at the beginning of the video.
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.
