Comic Marcello Hernndez of 'Saturday Night Live' to host The ESPYS in its
return to New York
NEW YORK (AP) --- Marcello Hernndez of "Saturday Night Live" will host The
ESPYS when the show honoring the past year's top athletes and moments in sports
returns to its roots in New York.
The show will air live July 15 on ABC from the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln
Center.
The first seven editions of the show were held in New York from 1993-99. After
two years in Las Vegas, The ESPYS moved to Los Angeles for 22 of the next 24
years.
Hernndez joins other "SNL" cast members who have hosted. Dennis Miller helmed
the first two years at Madison Square Garden. Norm Macdonald hosted in 1998 at
Radio City Music Hall. Tracy Morgan and Seth Meyers also took turns.
Hernndez has been a breakout cast member on "SNL," where he recently wrapped
his fourth season.
"I started doing comedy 10 years ago, in Cleveland, Ohio, and I would take the
train 12 hours to New York to sell comedy tickets on the street in Greenwich
Village in exchange for stage time," he said. "It is an honor, and frankly
feels crazy to be hosting the ESPYS this year in New York. I'm sure the energy
is going to be great."
