His nightly show on ESPN networks is actually very, very good. It is almost required nightly viewing for me.
1/2 of the show is essentially him doing highlights like he used to do in the glory days of sportscenter- including perfectly timed Keith-cliches just like the old days with DP - but the nightly bits like "World's worst" are usually my favorite.
He's an under-rated interviewer too - he does a great job with most of his guests.
The one part I don't like is that he's been absent frequently. I guess he had a recent bout with shingles which is understandable, but he's gone a lot.

Am I the only one that watches this and enjoys it on a (semi) regular basis?

I love it compared to the usual SportsCenter... I definitely prefer it. Love the humor -- a day or so ago, they were showing a replay of an error during a baseball game and he said something to the effect of "for those of you scoring at home, and also for those of you watching alone." Took me a second.

If there is a fill in hosting though, I don't care nearly as much.
