ESPN is making major changes to its afternoon programming for this fall. Unfortunately, the network has decided to cancel Highly Questionable.
In 2011, ESPN launched Highly Questionable, which starred Dan Le Batard and his father Gonzalo “Papi” Le Batard. The show lasted roughly a decade before being replaced.
Shortly after it was announced that ESPN is moving on from Highly Questionable, Le Batard shared his thoughts on the news.
“Hell of a run,” Le Batard wrote. “Not many TV shows last a decade. Papi and I are proud of it all, including the duck fart of a grand finale in the tv graveyard of 2 pm on ESPN2. Also, Max will look older than Lee Corso by December, aging a decade every month doing morning radio and this.”

Highly Questionable lost most of its appeal after Le Batard left ESPN. He launched his own media company with former ESPN president John Skipper and took his popular radio show with him.
Even though he’s no longer an ESPN employee, Le Batard has a special connection to Highly Questionable. It must be bittersweet for him to see one of his greatest projects come to an end.
The final show for Highly Questionable will take place on Sept. 10 on ESPN2. It’ll then be replaced by This Just In, which will feature former First Take personality Max Kellerman.
