ESPN’s ‘Sunday NFL Countdown’ is Getting a New Host
Mike Greenberg will be hosting ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown,” which kicks off its 40th season on September 8. He is the fourth host in the show’s history, taking over from Samantha Ponder, who recently had her contract bought out as part of ESPN’s cost-cutting measures. Previously, the show was hosted by Bob Ley and Chris Berman. Greenberg, who has extensive experience at ESPN, has been hosting parts of the NFL draft coverage since 2021 and also leads “NBA Countdown” and the morning show “Get Up.” Notably, analysts Tedy Bruschi, Rex Ryan, Randy Moss, Alex Smith, and Adam Schefter will return to the show.
Mike Greenberg will be the host of ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown” when the show begins its 40th season on September 8th.
Greenberg becomes the fourth host in the show’s history. Bob Ley hosted the first year in 1985, when it was called “NFL GameDay,” followed by Chris Berman (1986-2016) and Samantha Ponder (2017-23).
Ponder and college football analyst Robert Griffin III, who also appeared on “Monday Night Countdown” last season, had their contracts bought out by ESPN last week as part of cost-cutting moves at the network.
Greenberg has hosted the first two nights of ESPN‘s coverage of the NFL draft since 2021 as well as hosting ESPN and ABC’s “NBA Countdown” studio show. He also hosts the morning show “Get Up” and has an afternoon program on ESPN Radio.
Tedy Bruschi, Rex Ryan, Randy Moss, Alex Smith and Adam Schefter will return to “Sunday NFL Countdown” as analysts.
