ESPN suspends Tony Kornheiser for comments made about Hannah Storm’s
ESPN has suspended Tony Kornheiser, network spokesman Mike Soltys said Tuesday. Kornheiser is on suspension for comments he made Friday about ESPN anchor Hannah Storm.
Kornheiser, the popular host of the show “Pardon the Interruption,” is known for making sports figures the subject of his humorous criticism, but in a recent show he aimed his commentary at Storm’s wardrobe.
He called her outfit “horrifying” and said her “very, very tight shirt” looked like “sausage casing” and that her “Catholic school plaid skirt” was “way too short for somebody” her age.
Kornheiser subsequently apologized to Storm and apologized on-air. Kornheiser missed PTI Monday as part of his suspension, the length of which has not yet been announced by ESPN
