ESPN is canceling one of its longest-running shows, having set a date for the final episode of ‘Around the Horn.’

The show has been around for 23 years, with over 4,900 episodes having aired. But it will go off the air after May 23.

‘Around the Horn’ has been hosted by Tony Reali since 2004, having debuted in 2002. Over the years, it has seen plenty of top-name panelists grace its studio, including Jemele Hill, Bomani Jones, Mina Kimes, Woody Paige, Bill Plaschke, Bob Ryan, Sarah Spain, Pablo Torre, and Clinton Yates.

The debate-style show, which airs at 5:00 PM on weekdays, will sign off on the aforementioned date. ESPN has announced that a 30-minute episode of SportsCenter will come on after it goes off the air, and that further schedule updates will be disclosed at a later date.

“Around the Horn has had a remarkable run of more than two decades. That kind of longevity in media is incredibly rare, and we look forward to celebrating the show’s many accomplishments before the final sign-off in May,” ESPN executive VP and executive editor of sports news and entertainment David Roberts said in a press release.

“Beyond Tony and the ensemble of on-air contributors, we are particularly grateful to the production team led by Erik Rydholm and Aaron Solomon, who have been instrumental in ATH’s consistent success since the very beginning.”

ESPN is understood to be in the process of making more talent cuts and rearranging its schedule.

Some shows are set to be canceled and replaced by others. The network is even getting rid of broadcast rights deals, having ended its agreement with Major League Baseball last week.

The changes come as part of The Worldwide Leader In Sports’ preparation for the launch of the direct-to-consumer service, so they’re said to be keen on only keeping the shows that they believe will resonate with that particular audience.

VIDEO: News Reporter Is Going Viral After Holding An Awkward “Moment Of Silence” For Hooters Before Dropping Some Wild Comments On Live TV

Philadelphia anchor Mike Jerrick actually held a moment of silence for Hooters during a live television broadcast, and he did not stop there.

According to widespread reports, the popular restaurant chain is likely going under, much to the disappointment of many people, including Jerrick, who paid his respects during a live FOX29 broadcast this week.

Jerrick asked for a moment of silence and got everyone to keep quiet for several seconds before saying, “Hooters is closing.”

His co-host, Alex Colley, who was left confused following the request, burst into laughter before going on to say that she loved the wings.

“The wings?” Jerrick asked.

“What else would it be?” she inquired.

“Just wanna keep you abreast,” he replied in an obvious pun.

You can see the hilarious interaction below:

Hooters has been one of the more popular restaurants in the United States for a long time.

The chain opened up in 1983 and is famous for its menu, which includes hamburgers, sandwiches, steaks, seafood entrees, appetizers, and, of course, chicken wings.

While the food is great, the company’s scantily clad waitresses have always been the main attraction, which is why lots of people are sad to see it go.

It’s not clear whether all of the locations will shut down amid reports of bankruptcy, but Jerrick should be keeping an eye on them.

The Philly reporters also went viral last month after heading to New Orleans for the Super Bowl, with Mike getting caught coming out of a certain establishment with three women and plenty of beads around his neck at 5:00 in the morning.

It appears he can’t be stopped.
