ESPN tabs Mike Greenberg as Sam Ponder's replacement for 'NFL Sunday Countdown' show
View Date:2024-12-23 21:20:59
For its 40th iteration, ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown" show has its official new look.
Amid the news last week that former host Sam Ponder had been fired, ESPN announced Tuesday that Mike Greenberg would take over as the new host of "Sunday NFL Countdown," the network's pregame show during the NFL season that leads into Sunday's games.
Greenberg will join analysts Tedy Bruschi, Randy Moss, Rex Ryan, and Alex Smith, as well as NFL insider Adam Schefter, on set. The show will also have its roster of NFL reporters in the field, including Jeff Darlington, Dan Graziano, Kimberley A. Martin, Sal Paolantonio and Lindsey Thiry.
The show first aired in 1985 as "NFL GameDay" and has since evolved. The first episode of the season will be Sunday, September 8, to coincide with the first NFL Sunday. The final episode of the season will be February 9, 2025 in New Orleans, ahead of Super Bowl 59.
The show will continue to air for three hours, starting at 10 a.m. ET, leading right up to the 1 p.m. ET kickoffs of games every Sunday.

For Greenberg, this becomes an expansion of his NFL duties at ESPN. Greenberg has hosted the NFL draft broadcasts. Greenberg has also served as the host of the morning show "Get Up" since it made its debut in 2018. He becomes the fourth host in the 40-year history of "Sunday NFL Countdown."
