The final episode of ESPN's Around The Horn aired on Friday, May 23rd, capping off an extraordinary 23-year run that went far beyond sports shouting to produce many cultural touchstones for generations of fans.

Around The Horn will air its final episode this Friday. Few panelists will remain as synonymous with the ESPN studio show as Woody Paige. The all-time leader in wins and appearances, Paige stayed a steady member of Around the Horn's revolving door of journalists competing for points

Longtime ESPN host Tony Reali took his final lap “Around the Horn” on Friday, closing out the sports debate series after 23 years and more than 4,900 episodes. ESPN set the end date months ago for the half-hour series that has been a staple of ESPN’s early evening lineup.

Max Kellerman might’ve mistaken Woody Paige for someone who gave a sh*t. At least that’s how Paige remembers it, recounting a moment from more than two decades ago, seated across from Kellerman at Carnegie Deli.

The days of Tony Reali muting Bob Ryan and Woody Paige on "Around the Horn" are sadly over. ESPN made the decision earlier this year to cancel "Around the Horn." The classic debate show has been around since Nov.

Around the Horn, launched on November 4, 2002, and hosted by Tony Reali since 2004, concluded after 4,953 episodes. The show, known for its lively debates among journalists like Woody Paige, Mina Kimes, and Bill Plaschke, was canceled as ESPN seeks to ‘modernize’ its programming, per The Hollywood Reporter.
