Speakers For This Event
Kenny Mayne
ESPN SportsCenter@Kenny_Mayne
Kenny Mayne, who joined ESPN in May 1994, is an anchor on SportsCenter from Bristol. In his work as an anchor and reporter, Mayne has become well known for his offbeat style, dry humor, and unique sayings (“thanks for having electricity”) and home run calls (“I am amused by the simplicity of this game!”). Although he stands out in the studio – his most prominent roles have been on SportsCenter, the former ESPN2 motorsports show, rpm2night, Mayne Street, “The Mayne Event” and hosting both seasons of the sports trivia game show 2-Minute Drill – it truly shines in features. Mayne played college football for two years at UNLV and later signed as a free agent with the Seattle Seahawks (1982).
