15) Lindsay Czarniak
Years Active: 2011-Present
SportsCenter has undergone quite the transformation in the last couple years as it has taken on different interpretations at different timeslots instead of the one, unified version viewers were used to all throughout the day. While Scott Van Pelt’s midnight edition and the new SportsCenter AM have received a lot of attention, the change in focus in giving each edition a unique identity really began with Lindsay Czarniak becoming the solo anchor of the 6 PM SportsCenter. Czarniak hasn’t been at ESPN long, but she’s quickly established herself among the favorites in Bristol.
14) John Anderson
Years Active: 1999-Present
The longtime SportsCenter anchor with the dry sense of humor has been one of the mainstays of the modern era in Bristol. Anderson formed an enjoyable duo with Lindsay Czarniak before the above anchor moved onto solo hosting and has also received an ABC primetime gig as the co-host of Wipeout.
13) Brian Kenny
Years Active: 1997-2011
ONE runs will score… TWO runs will score! Brian Kenny spent several years at SportsCenter as an anchor and became best known for his famous interview with Floyd Mayweather Jr… back before “Money” was doing PR work with Stephen A. Smith on SportsCenter, that is. Kenny became even more outspoken in latter years, especially as he shifted his focus to baseball. Now he’s one of the central personalities on MLB Network.
12) Steve Levy
Years Active: 1993-Present
While Linda Cohn is number one on the list of most SportsCenters anchored, it might surprise you to know that this man is #2. Steve Levy has been the steadiest of steady hands for SportsCenter for well over 2o years now… although his most memorable moment may be launching one of the more notable sportscasting blooper memes there is. He’s also carried the flag for NHL coverage at the network, even earning his own “Levy Lounge” for highlights with Barry Melrose.
11) Craig Kilborn
Years Active: 1993-1996
One of the most oft asked questions that we encounter here at AA is “Whatever happened to Craig Kilborn?” He may have had the shortest tenure of anyone on this list, but his one-of-a-kind personality and style definitely left his mark on SportsCenter. Of course, he would go on to the late night circuit as the pre-Jon Stewart host of the Daily Show and pre-Craig Ferguson host of The Late Late Show and then… well… that’s a great question.
