Former ESPN Host Jemele Hill Returns for Final Around Horn Episode

ESPN's long-running debate show 'Around the Horn' will air its final episode on May 23, marking the end of more than two decades on air. To celebrate the show's legacy, ESPN is bringing back former panelists Jemele Hill and Kate Fagan for a farewell appearance. Hill, who worked at ESPN from 2006 to 2017 and was known both for her sports commentary and controversial political statements, will return to ESPN airwaves for the first time since her departure in 2018, joking about being 'uncanceled' during her appearance. Fagan, a former ESPN writer and panelist, will join Hill in this nostalgic moment for longtime viewers. While ESPN presents Hill's return as a tribute to the show's history, some critics argue that including her, given her political activism and past controversies, contrasts with ESPN's stated aim to depoliticize its brand. Nonetheless, the return of these fan favorites highlights the network's effort to honor 'Around the Horn's' impact before its conclusion.
