Jemele Hill, Cari Champion To Host Weekly Talk Show On Vice TV

Former ESPN hosts Jemele Hill and Cari Champion will host a new weekly talk show, "Disruptors," that is "slated to debut this summer on Vice TV," according to Brian Steinberg of VARIETY. With an initial order of eight episodes, the show "aims to unpack the biggest topics and headlines of the week from the worlds of culture, politics, sports and business." Champion said the hosts know their show will be different from others in the format, as "two Black women are driving the narrative and the conversation." Steinberg noted Hill and Champion "spent years" at ESPN's Bristol HQ, and the two "found they had a rapport that could form the basis for a project of their own." Both women believe "Disruptors" debuts at an "opportune moment, with the nation focused more intently on matters of race and how people from different backgrounds treat one another." Champion said that their background in sports "won't keep them from venturing into other areas." She said sports are "intertwined with politics," and the current news cycle and political climate have "forced America to open its eyes" (VARIETY.com, 6/24).
