1:40 Seeing them younger and how they are now we have truly come a long way. I’m 30 now and Sports Center has been truly life for years and John you will be utterly missed beyond no measure
It's the 2000's, you just got home from school, you turn on SportsCenter and catch up on the day. This man was one of people responsible for making the day just a little bit nicer. Thank you.
Not even gonna lie the era of TH-cam killed the magnitude of watching an hour long show of highlights to the point where once I cut the cord, I probably haven't seen Sportscenter in a decade. That said, John Anderson and Steve Levy were such a large part of my childhood and he has my utmost respect entering the relaxing chapter of retirement
John Anderson, another great SportsCenter anchor that will be dearly missed! He always made the viewers have a good laugh! Also was a great co-host on the ABC show Wipeout!
25 years!! Amazing milestone. Hopefully he achieved everything he sat out to do. I don’t know how he was able to go through this without balling up and crying.
Sad to see him go but happy for all the memories. I was 7 when I started watching SportsCenter and John Andersen is absolutely one of the reasons I have tuned in daily ever since. The humor he brought along with many of the anchors of the time was ahead of its time. Thank you, John.
I’ve been a sports fan since 2004 so I was fortunate enough to catch the final years of decent reporting and interesting anchors. Not just people shouting nonsense for views. I guess I really am old now.
I was able to meet Mr. Anderson at a minor league game in Appleton, WI. He was beyond kind when he didn’t need to be. One of the greatest to be at the SC desk. Congrats, sir!

“We hope you’ll join us again next summer, when get another batch of crazy people. Go up against our insane obstacle courses.” goodbye john anderson, have a good life king
Didn't know this was coming. It has been a pleasure, brother. Best wishes and blessings going forward. Thank you for sharing the goodness of sports with us through the years.
I remember when these two came in, and I wasn't sure about 'em at first. Will they have the wit, will they have the flow? ...and John Anderson nailed it. We're finishing the back nine of an era.
Outstanding job honoring John before his retirement! It’s a great model for how all employees should be shown gratitude prior to their exit. Happy retirement John! I’ll truly miss seeing you as often on ESPN.
John Anderson, it has been an adventure getting to hang out with you on Sportscenter. It was always like hanging out with friends over an adult beverage talking sports. Will miss you on ESPN. Best of luck in your future endeavors.
Had no idea he was leaving ESPN till now, he's one of the last remaining anchors left from the GOAT days of ESPN. Thank you John Anderson.
Is he just retiring ?
Linda Cohn, Steve Levy, and Karl Ravech are the real vestiges of the old ESPN.
@@YoteNicklaid off... what espn is best aat
Ikr... no Neil Everett... no John Anderson... espn isn't what it was.

this guy was a part of childhood, waking up before school watching Sportscenter, one of the best to ever come out of ESPN
He was fantastic. I even appreciate his commentary on Wipeout. Gonna miss hearing him.
I was just going to say this. 100% !!!!!!
Salute to John, I remember watching him and guys like Stuart Scott etc in the 90s when I was a kid, great anchor, enjoy your life!
Countless nights I've spent with sportscenter on to lull me to sleep, in the nicest and most respectful way. Thank you John Anderson
After 25 years as anchor on SportsCenter, John Anderson bids farewell to ESPN. Thanks for the memories, John.
My favorite quote is earth’s full. Please go home.

*31. Yeah this is wild. I'm just thankful he'll be doing even more during retirement. Good luck to him at Missouri*
It's the 2000's, you just got home from school, you turn on SportsCenter and catch up on the day. This man was one of people responsible for making the day just a little bit nicer. Thank you.
Nicely put. In the 1990's, you got home from school and turned on WGN to watch the Cubs. Then Baseball Tonight a bit later with Peter Gammons.
Thanks for all the years
