“Van Talk” ended abruptly due in part to previous comments made by Katz and Barstool founder Dave Portnoy about then-ESPNer Sam Ponder, and former-ESPN president John Skipper later said that the network wasn’t able to distance itself from the Barstool brand as much as it wanted.
The sports media world is abuzz about the new deal between Fox and Barstool Sports, which will feature founder Dave Portnoy and other Barstool talent, including Dan “Big Cat” Katz, on the network’s college football pregame show as well as a new FS1 studio show.
FS1 is making major changes to its weekday programming slate, canceling three of its five daily shows and ending on-air roles for multiple personalities, including longtime host Joy Taylor.
