ESPN announced Tuesday that “Around the Horn” will host its final episode on May 23.

The sports discussion and debate show will conclude a 23-year run – more than 4,900 episodes – since its debut on Nov. 4, 2002.

The ESPN staple features host Tony Reali and a rotation of four daily national sports media panelists who attempt to earn points – and avoid being muted by Reali – as they offer their perspectives on the biggest sports topics of the day.

“‘Around the Horn’ has had a remarkable run of more than two decades,” ESPN Executive Vice President, Executive Editor, Sports News and Entertainment David Roberts said in a release. “That kind of longevity in media is incredibly rare, and we look forward to celebrating the show’s many accomplishments before the final sign-off in May.”

Regular panelists have included: JA Adande, Kevin Blackistone, Tim Cowlishaw, Jemele Hill, Frank Isola, Bomani Jones, Mina Kimes, Jackie MacMullan, Woody Paige, Bill Plaschke, Bob Ryan, Ramona Shelburne, Sarah Spain, Pablo Torre and Clinton Yates, among others.

A 30-minute edition of “SportsCenter” will air weekdays during the summer at 5 p.m. on ESPN as a replacement.
