Hey, Move Over Letterman and Leno, Here Comes ESPN?!?
We’re hearing that for months now, ESPN has been trying to secure a host for a late-night TV show it has in the works. Yes, a late-night TV show not unlike Letterman or Leno, but obviously centered around sports with a dollop of entertainment.
According to sources, three recognizable names have been approached about hosting the show, and all of them passed: ESPN radio host Colin Cowherd, Jason Whitlock of the KC Star, and 790 the Ticket radio host Dan LeBatard. Can a show like this even work? With swings and misses on ESPN Hollywood and Stephen A. Smith’s show, is this crossover between sports and entertainment something that sports fans aren’t interested in watching? As for the host, if ESPN is forced to look in-house, does Bill Simmons have the TV experience for this? Rick Reilly? http://thebiglead.com/?p=7327 |

Lebatard? LOL. Hey BD, what about Stewart Scott hosting it? I think he would be the perfect host, centered around the show if it became possible.

This sounds like they're trying to copy FSN's Best Damn Sports Show
