The show will take place Wednesday, July 16 at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. local) at The Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. "I'm excited to be at The ESPYS this year," Gillis said in a statement. "I like sports so this should be a good time." Gillis will be the first non-athlete to host the show since 2021 when actor Anthony Mackie had the duty. However, the creator and star of the Netflix show "Tires" is an avid sports fan. "Shane is not only one of the top comedians today, but also a huge sports fan, which made him an easy choice to host The ESPYS,' said ESPN vice president and ESPYS executive producer Craig Lazarus." Recruited by Army and a former walk-on at Elon University, Gillis is an avid Notre Dame Fighting Irish fan. In fact, he actually had a infamous moment on ESPN as a result. The comedian was the celebrity guest-picker on "College GameDay" ahead of the College Football Playoff first round matchup between Notre Dame and Indiana on Dec. 20 at Notre Dame Stadium. During the show, Gillis made a slight dig at show analyst and former Alabama coach Nick Saban. He said the Fighting Irish now had a chance at winning since athletes could be paid and it's "not just the SEC and not Coach Saban" doing it. When it came time for the show's game picks, Gillis' comments were brought up, and the comedian doubled down on his take, which appeared to anger Saban. After the show, Gillis mentioned how Saban seemed actually upset with him.
