On April 26, 2017, ESPN announced layoffs within the company. An estimated 100 on-air staffers were let go.
Russilo’s co-host, Danny Kanell, was among 100 who lost their jobs.
Russilo informed his fan via his Twitter account that he was not among the ones who were cut off and would begin broadcast.
Initially, it was speculated that Russilo would be given reduced roles at the network but the host later clarified that he would be continuing his show solo.
Ryen is often rumored to be dating ESPN personality Cari Champion.
However, neither of them have talked about this, at least not seriously.
