Nearly three weeks after ESPN laid off Monday Night Countdown host Suzy Kolber, among others, the network has reportedly found its new host.
Longtime anchor Scott Van Pelt has been tabbed as Kolber’s successor, according to The Athletic‘s Richard Deitsch and Andrew Marchand of the New York Post. The decision reportedly came down to Van Pelt and Laura Rutledge, and has been communicated to all parties involved.
Deitsch later reported that while Van Pelt has not yet accepted the position, the situation is “heading that way.”
