Jon Stewart and Hannah Storm to Co-Anchor ESPN SportsCenter Coverage of DOD Warrior Games

Comedy and TV legend Jon Stewart has always been in the corner of those who put their life on the line as military servicemen, firefighters, police officers, etc., especially those who have done so and suffered wounds of any kind.

So, co-anchoring The Warrior Games with ESPN mainstay Hannah Storm tomorrow is kind of up his alley.

“The 2017 Department of Defense Warrior Games, a multi-sport event for wounded, injured or ill service personnel and veterans, began June 30 and concludes July 8. Approximately 265 athletes representing teams from the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard and U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), as well as the United Kingdom Armed Forces and the Australian Defence Force are participating.”

Look for Stewart and Storm to cover the event live on a special edition of SportsCenter, Friday, July 7th 4PM PST on ESPN.

When Stewart departs from The Daily Show this Summer, he’ll have even more time to do amazing stuff like this.

For awhile now, Jon Stewart has been secretly running a program through The Daily Show that’s designed to teach veterans the ins and outs of working in television. Vets have gone on from the program to not only work on The Daily Show, but elsewhere as producers and other behind-the-scenes positions.

Coupled with directing the highly underrated Rosewater, Stewart should be up for some sort of humanitarian prize.
