On today's 'Daily Variety' podcast, the ESPYs score despite edgy barbs from host Shane Gillis, and Variety salutes Disneyland on its 70th birthday.

The View' hosts have some thoughts on the polarizing opening monologue that Shane Gillis delivered at the 2025 ESPY Awards: 'That's bad form. That's a mistake.'

Simone Biles wins Best Female Athlete at 2025 ESPYS on Wednesday, July 16. It is Biles' second ESPY Award win of the night.

Comedian Shane Gillis hosted the awards ceremony, presented by ESPN, on Wednesday night live from The Dolby Theater in Los Angeles.

Simone Biles won two ESPYs, including best female athlete, while fellow Olympic gymnastics gold medalist Suni Lee earned the best comeback award. Biles became the first two-time best female athlete recipient since Ronda Rousey in 2014-15 after also taking the honor in 2017.
