Katie Nolan and ESPN are officially broken up.

Katie Nolan joined ESPN back in October 2017. In addition to hosting her own digital series on ESPN+ “Always Late with Katie Nolan,” she also hosted the “Sports? with Katie Nolan” original podcast, and she co-hosted SportsCenter on Snapchat. Nolan also regularly lends her perspective to ESPN studio shows and across multiple digital platforms.

Today she revealed she is no longer working for ESPN.

“I’ve thought about sending this tweet for weeks and I still have no clue how to make it not make you all roll your eyes. Alas: the obvious thing has happened. I no longer work at ESPN. I’m really grateful for my time here. I made incredible friendships and valuable mistakes.”

For the sake of brevity I’m gonna handle most of my thank yous via text, but I do want to publicly sing the praises of @AshleyBraband, a woman who made a lot of personal sacrifices in service of ESPN and myself, and who may never know how much that means to me.

This year of slowing down has affected me on a cellular level. If you listen to the podcast this isn’t news to you. What’s next for me is to figure out how/where/when this new me can use the skills the old me acquired to make the stuff I think needs making. And maybe a vacation?

Twitter reacted to the news:

Katie Nolan: Great at her job, even better friend.

Open offer to come work at Bad Brain. I can't pay you and also we aren't a media company but wouldn't mind hanging out. Stoked to see what is next. https://t.co/0dYvnF70lx

I’ve been following Katie Nolan since her YouTube show days. Katie Nolan is one of the biggest talents in sports media. It’s not at all surprising to me that neither Fox or ESPN figured out how to maximize her talents, support her. But whoever finally does will be rewarded.

ESPN canning Katie Nolan and/or letting her get away, whichever it is, is such a classic ESPN move never really letting a legit hilarious, smart, relatable creative talent flex and thrive, while Stephen A and them get paid NFL wide receiver money to meme themselves every morning

Katie Nolan is one of the few sports analysts I genuinely enjoy. One of the others is Dan LeBatard. ESPN has let both go in the last year or two, in the name of ever-blander content. https://t.co/gnHc095nuL

i don’t know where else to do this so here it is. katie nolan is my favorite sports person ever. she made me care about football and all sports more than i already did. because of her i look for the funny story in sports rather than debate who the GOAT is or stupid made up stats https://t.co/yaYcHwA7MJ

ESPN keeping Sage Steele and dropping Katie Nolan?

Yikes upon yikes.

ESPN has seen a bunch of its regulars leave the network in the last year.

Katie was one of the good ones, and there’s no doubt she’ll land on her feet somewhere else.
