On Friday night, veteran SportsCenter anchor Neil Everett aired his final broadcast for ESPN, as he is leaving the network after 23 years. The decision is in part because of downsizing by the network, but it still means saying goodbye to such a familiar face.
Everett started at ESPN in 2000 and became a pivotal part of the network’s Los Angeles SportsCenter in 2009. Everett worked with Stan Verrett out West, and the two ended up as the faces of the late-night SportsCenter show from Los Angeles.
In the final minutes of Everett’s last episode, ESPN aired a montage of Everett’s best moments and interviews on SportsCenter, including iconic names like Vin Scully and Joe Namath.
