SportsCenter Veteran John Anderson Announces Retirement from Show after More Than 25 Years on ESPN

After more than 25 years of hosting ESPN’s “SportsCenter,” John Anderson announced his retirement from the show. In an announcement on his show “Inside Wisconsin,” Anderson revealed that he will be stepping down when his contract expires in June. However, he plans to continue working with ESPN on various projects, including covering track and field events like the Boston Marathon and New York Marathon.

Anderson cited changes in the operation of “SportsCenter” as a factor in his decision to retire, stating that he wanted to continue doing the best shows he could but may not have the stamina for year 26 or 27 of the show. Anderson joined ESPN in 1999 after working for KPHO-TV in Phoenix, Arizona, and has been a prominent figure on the network ever since.

In addition to his work on “SportsCenter,” Anderson has also hosted ABC’s game show “Wipeout” from 2008 to 2014. He is known for his snappy and knowledgeable dialogue. Anderson is the third longtime host to leave “SportsCenter” in the past year, following Neil Everett and Sage Steele. Despite his retirement from the show, Anderson expressed excitement about continuing to cover track and field events and other sports-related projects for ESPN in the future.
