John Anderson's final time anchoring SportsCenter after 25 years at ESPN 🎉

[@TheChrisPhoenix]

Had no idea he was leaving ESPN till now, he's one of the last remaining anchors left from the GOAT days of ESPN. Thank you John Anderson.

[@YoteNick]

Is he just retiring ?

[@RobbieStacks90]

Linda Cohn, Steve Levy, and Karl Ravech are the real vestiges of the old ESPN.

Salute to John, I remember watching him and guys like Stuart Scott etc in the 90s when I was a kid, great anchor, enjoy your life!

[@agentcodybanx8909]

Countless nights I've spent with sportscenter on to lull me to sleep, in the nicest and most respectful way. Thank you John Anderson

[@theminuteman3460]

He was fantastic. I even appreciate his commentary on Wipeout. Gonna miss hearing him.

[@WisconsinParkour]

I was just going to say this. 100% !!!!!!

1:40 Seeing them younger and how they are now we have truly come a long way. I’m 30 now and Sports Center has been truly life for years and John you will be utterly missed beyond no measure

[@mvpandrew93]

*31. Yeah this is wild. I'm just thankful he'll be doing even more during retirement. Good luck to him at Missouri*

[@Im_Ish]

It's the 2000's, you just got home from school, you turn on SportsCenter and catch up on the day. This man was one of people responsible for making the day just a little bit nicer. Thank you.

[@emichels]

Nicely put. In the 1990's, you got home from school and turned on WGN to watch the Cubs. Then Baseball Tonight a bit later with Peter Gammons.

[@Phills69]

Gonna miss you bro. SportsCenter man… come on!!!

[@christhecommentator3411]

@andyj952 right he’s been around for 25 years he deserves to retire lol

[@ianboudreaux789]

Thanks for all the years

[@NLGabriel75]

From all of us sports fans. And I hope you see this. Thank you John 🙂 Thank you for spreading the true meaning of sports for 25 years 🔥

[@WheelzGaming88]

Not even gonna lie the era of KZbin killed the magnitude of watching an hour long show of highlights to the point where once I cut the cord, I probably haven't seen Sportscenter in a decade. That said, John Anderson and Steve Levy were such a large part of my childhood and he has my utmost respect entering the relaxing chapter of retirement

[@nycmonster139]

Thank you for the great memories!!!!!

[@johnorth5275]

Great guy! Wonderful work John and please know you were one of the Best at ESPN. Thanks for the memories and awesome Sports reporting.

John Anderson ESPN SportsCenter Legend it’s been an honor watching him.

[@liferealgood]

25 years!! Amazing milestone. Hopefully he achieved everything he sat out to do. I don’t know how he was able to go through this without balling up and crying.

[@BAKER22-l4u]

Because he's a man

[@realreaction1909]

All my Childhood people are retiring 😢😢😢😢

[@PrideRock92]

Sad to see him go but happy for all the memories. I was 7 when I started watching SportsCenter and John Andersen is absolutely one of the reasons I have tuned in daily ever since. The humor he brought along with many of the anchors of the time was ahead of its time. Thank you, John.

[@roachieville9291]

Legend 🎉 thanks for everything

[@samuelfrick3475]

John Anderson, another great SportsCenter anchor that will be dearly missed! He always made the viewers have a good laugh! Also was a great co-host on the ABC show Wipeout!

[@partin25]

“I don’t even remember our first show” 😂 Thats a true friend

[@paulwilliams5500]

I was able to meet Mr. Anderson at a minor league game in Appleton, WI. He was beyond kind when he didn’t need to be. One of the greatest to be at the SC desk. Congrats, sir!
