ESPN talk show ‘Around the Horn’ will go off the air next summer, ending a more than two-decade run on weekday afternoons.
Paired with ‘Pardon the Interruption’ − another show overseen by ESPN’s Eric Rydholm − ‘Around the Horn’ has been an afternoon staple for ESPN viewers, leading to heightened national profiles for regular panelists such as Woody Paige, Mina Kimes, Jackie MacMullan, Tim Cowlishaw, J.A. Adande and others.
‘Around the Horn’ began in 2002 with Max Kellerman as its original host. Reali took over hosting duties in 2004 and has remained in the role ever since.
The ESPN spokesperson declined to provide any official comment, but did say the show’s lengthy run will be celebrated at some point before it goes off the air.
