Max Kellerman to be on Fox Sports

Max Kellerman, late of ESPN, is joining Fox Sports to host a talk show scheduled to start later this spring.
The brash New Yorker will tape the show in his hometown, a first for Fox Sports. The network had previously originated all its national programming, such as "The Best Damn Sports Show Period, from its home base in Los Angeles.

"Max is one of the brightest young talents on the sports horizon. His ability to engage the viewer and challenge the people he interviews is perhaps his finest trait," Fox Sports' head of programming, George Greenberg, says in a statement.

Kellerman's new show is described as a cross between "The O'Reilly Factor" and "The Daily Show." Its exact format hasn't been settled; Greenberg says it will be "built for Max like a custom made car, displaying all of Max's diverse television skills."
He'll also serve as a commentator for Fox Sports' boxing coverage and contribute to "The Best Damn Sports Show."

Kellerman, who hosted ESPN's daily sportswriter shouting match "Around the Horn," left the network when his contract expired Feb. 1. His move to Fox Sports was expected following the failure of renewal talks at ESPN.

Wow.. Good for him!! [img]smilies/clap.gif[/img]

"Around the Horn" is not the same without him and I have such a hard time getting through it. I end up changing the channel until PTI starts.

Now, my only issue: I don't get Fox Sports. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] I won't be able to see him.

You can go to FoxSports.com they have videos of all the shows so you can see him online at least. I listen to stuff on FSN online anyways I don't get the channel either.

So that`s why Max hasn`t been on lately. Once again ESPN has dropped the ball on letting another talent person go(the first being Rich Eisen). I`m looking forward to seeing Max`s new show on Fox Sports Net.

He tried to get his own show on ESPN as part of his proposed deal during renewal talks, but ESPN didn`t give it to him. So Rich went to the NFL Network. It`s a shame that it didn`t happen, because i would`ve love to seen it.
