Michael Wilbon Steps Away From ESPN Over Health

Hug your people tonight. Here's why. Michael Wilbon has stepped away from ESPN's Pardon the Interruption, the show he shares with Tony Kornheiser, citing what he calls multiple health issues. He hasn't gone into detail. He told The Guardian he has no idea how this part of his journey will wind up, and he admitted people in his personal life spotted worrying signs over recent years that he largely brushed off. The issues are not tied to alcohol or gambling. Wilbon last appeared on the show on 26 October, and it recently celebrated 25 years. He hopes to get back to sparring with Kornheiser. Keep Wilbon and his loved ones in your prayers, and call your people tonight.
