Chris Connelly (reporter)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Chris Connelly is an American sports and entertainment reporter.
Connelly joined ESPN in 2001 to host the daily interview program Unscripted with Chris Connelly, designed to be a more contemporary version of the long-running Up Close interview show which previously occupied the 5PM ET timeslot. The show lasted only a few months before being replaced by an early SportsCenter and eventually Around The Horn.
Since the cancellation of "Unscripted", Connelly has reported and narrated the long-form human interest reports that air on SportsCenter on weekends. Most notably, he annually does a one week series called "My Wish" involving athletes fulfilling kid's Make a Wish Foundation wishes. Connelly also helped ABC and ESPN cover the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 2006; he conducted interviews with finalists who had just been eliminated.
Before joining ESPN, Connelly spent nine years at MTV (1993-2001). He hosted the pre-shows for the MTV Movie Awards and prior to that, The Big Picture, a weekly show with features and movie reviews. He was also an editor and reporter for Premiere magazine, eventually becoming Editor in Chief. After six months however, Connelly resigned in a battle over journalistic integrity after the owner of the magazine asked he quash a story that unfavorably portrayed a business associate.
