Tony Kornheiser first got his shot in the sports world as a reporter for the Washington Post in 1979. "Kornheiser joined ESPN in November 1997 as host of ESPN Radio’s Tony Kornheiser Show, which premiered January 5, 1998 and continued until March 2004" ("Tony Kornheiser" para. 7). In 2001, PTI made its debut and continues today. "From 2006-08, Kornheiser was a booth commentator on ESPN’s Monday Night Football, demonstrating his unique ability to inform and entertain viewers" ("Tony Kornheiser" para. 4). From this, Korheiser and Wilbon were able to take their show across America to different cities that hosted Monday Night Football.
Kornheiser still writes for the Washington Post, however, he is most recognized nationally for his part on Pardon The Interruption. He has been a role model to me and a constant example of how someone should conduct himself in the field. Respected by many, Tony Kornhesier continues to attract many fans because people want to hear what he has to say.

I agree with you that Kornheiser is a great sports reporter. I like how he keeps viewers entertained through jokes and a sarcastic personality while providing true and interesting information. My personal favorite sports reporter is Stuart Scott. I admire the fact that he works though his injury and also is a great TV personality. He seems to have been born to be in front of cameras by the way he approaches his job,
