Wilson, Rapinoe, Bird to host remote ESPYS. MORE:
Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, soccer star Megan Rapinoe and three-time WNBA champion Sue Bird will preside over the two-hour broadcast airing June 21 on ESPN. All three live in the Seattle area. Rapinoe and Bird are partners who share a household, which conveniently eases some logistics. Wilson’s singer-wife, Ciara, is likely to make an appearance, too.
Smith said there's been a lot to learn in assembling a pre-produced show with everyone in different locations. “I wish we could have done this show together because she would have a really interesting perspective on how we’re doing this,” said Smith, who worked with Mandt at her production company. “This is the first one of its kind. Maura’s signature will always be on this show.”
“We really love this sort of pure reaction,” Smith said. “We found ways to really be able to capture it.” Comedy and music are always part of the show, and Wilson, Rapinoe and Bird will get a chance to show off a sense of humour.
