Synopsis

Pardon the Interruption is a sports television show that airs weekdays on various ESPN TV channels, TSN, ESPN America, XM, and Sirius satellite radio services, and as a downloadable podcast. It is hosted by Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon, who discuss, and frequently argue over, the top stories of the day in "sports... and other stuff". They had previously done this off-air in The Washington Post newsroom. Either Tony Reali or the uncredited "producer over the loudspeaker" serves as moderator for parts of the show, which is filmed in Washington, D.C.; Around The Horn also originates from the same studio. Similar in format to Siskel and Ebert, PTI is known for its humorous and often loud tone, as well as the "rundown" graphic which lists the topics yet to be discussed on the right-hand side of the screen. The show's popularity has led to the creation of similar shows on ESPN, and similar segments on other series, and the rundown graphic has since been implemented on the morning editions of SportsCenter among many imitators. The show won a Sports Emmy Award for best Daily Outstanding Studio Show for 2009.

aszymanski-50196 I've watched this show from the beginning and loved it. Now it's become a political platform for Mr. W. Stick to sports and leave your liberal politics at your home and with your friends. This a sports show, stick with talking about sports. I'm giving the show one more week and if there's more political and racial material, I'm done.
jim fred this show is scripted. the opinions are not real. the writers write it, the actors say it. if you want to hear legitimate sports discussion, get away from espn and hit up the old fashioned am/fm radio, you can find honest and much more detailed analysis there. nothing more needs to be said, so in response the the ten lines of text requirement, i will just repeat myself. this show is scripted. the opinions are not real. the writers write it, the actors say it. if you want to hear legitimate sports discussion, get away from espn and hit up the old fashioned am/fm radio, you can find honest and much more detailed analysis there.
nedopetrie To try to explain 'Pardon the Interruption' would never quite do it justice. If you haven't seen it, the concept seems far to simple to work: two middle aged sportswriters gab about the headlines of the day for a half hour. But what separates PTI from duds such as 'The Best Damn Sports Show Ever' and round table snoozers like 'The Sports Reporters' is the chemistry between Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon. Their banter, arguing styles, quick wits, and senses of humor make for a fun, irreverent, and interesting look at today's sports news. The only times the show doesn't hit the mark are when Tony or Wilbon are on vacation, which happens at least a couple weeks a year. The regular guest hosts (David Aldridge, Norman Chad, Bob Ryan) are always well informed, but don't match the humor that Wilbon and Tony bring to the program.
Waydownthehill Not only do Wilbon and Kornheiser make great insights and humor into sports, they do into entertainment and politics as well. It is very refreshing to see two intelligent people be able to offer reasonable opinions about sports and differ on them. It is hilarious to see them bounce off each other and even scream at each other. I find it even more funny that they both work for the Washington Post. Without a doubt the freshest, best, most original show ESPN has had in a LONG LONG LONG time. Even someone in Mongolia can recognize this. And to those who disagree, your opinions are PORRIDGE! JUST LIKE THE BCS, PORRIDGE!
