This conversation was food for my soul. I've been down with the both of them since day 1 at ESPN. I am so glad they finally had this conversation for us to hear. I definitely understand where Michael is coming from, on needing to find his purpose before he could look back at his time at ESPN.
They ruined ESPN. The best athletes are White. No one wants to hear two blacks whine about how White people are dominating them. White people > blacks.
I relate to everything that brother Mike is talking about. I used to be a producer for Black entertainment television BET, I co-created Spring Bling. I used to produce Rap City tha Bassment. There are so many rappers that we see today that I was a visual hand behind but I made the mistake of standing up in 2006 about sexual harassment. It happened to me and I spoke up about it happening to Black women in Entertainment, and I was blacklisted so fast and so hard by BET. I never had a moment to end my career there to correct way and it bothered me for years. I absolutely had to come to grips with that reality that I did NOT lose, I stood up for a cause that was bigger than me and yes, way before the Me Too movement. I spoke about what women were going through in the music & entertainment industry back in 2005 and 2006 in particularly with black women were going through an entertainment industry. The blacklist hurt, thinking I lost hurt...until I realized I ain't lose a damn thing... I def feel their pain & redemption.
I can relate. I received a degree in Computer Science and ended up getting a "temporary" security job that lasted around 8 years because I became depressed and complacent. Finally shit hit the fan in that toxic environment and I got removed from the site at which I worked. Sounds bad, but a major weight was lifted off of my shoulders and I no longer had to deal with the situation, which allowed me to focus on getting my foot in the door of the career I wanted. I am now a software engineer. At the time I got removed, I was pretty upset about how it happened, but I quickly realized that God doesn't care about your ego/pride. If you have faith in Him, He will get you to your destination one way or another.
He's very supportive. But... she is known to put down blkmen. He doesn't talk greasy about blkwomen on public platforms. So yes... HE is very supportive.
@@blqest125 your reply is narrow-minded on several levels. If you listened to the interview you'd realize that neither Jemele nor Michael regrets where they are in life. So "getting fired...", as you frame it, was an opportunity for them to grow, thus my comment, of which you clearly missed. If you think their "failure" hasn't put them in a better place mentally, professionally or financially, then you are just looking to hate on them buddy. Grown folk understand that sometimes you have to go low to get high, but I think you haven't reached that part of life to appreciate the journey. Enjoy your ride, grace and peace.
@@christopherharper9818 , lol the only ones being narrow minded are all the folks who fell for an operation mockingbird psy op in order for certain political groups to win elections. jemele and michael didnt grow, they devolved. "grown folks" would know you dont bring racial and political disharmony at your place of employment. we are not living in the 60s. get some better role models instead of dishonest misguided folks on television using racism to gain clout. the "culture" got played by the people behind blm. do you know who is behind blm??? let's see how "woke" and "grown" you really are.
What does BLM have to do with sportscenter and ESPN politics? ESPN is milquetoast Disney. They aren’t some revolutionaries about race or liberal ideology. Your comments make no sense besides just letter your racism show.
The chemistry between you two is so amazing... I'm proud of you both. Keep pushing the envelope and get that money... Y'all truly deserve it. Thank you.
It can be done but they will have to come up with a new name for the title because ESPN(Disney) owns the His and Hers title. I really hope they do, we miss this dynamic duo.
He’s right. Leaving ESPN was the best thing for them. ESPN was not ready, and still isn’t really. Mainstream media platforms are just NOT ready to hear the voices of REAL Black American journalists
@@jaysonwilliam3856 He stated he owns his own businesses, being stagnant at espn would’ve stifled him... etc. Were you listening? He’s on another podcast called brotha from anotha as well
@@PleaseBeDumb That's no different than when someone gets dumped and they say I'm happier single... It's CAP His actions show he ain't moved on though. His relevance is still tied to ESPN and he ain't been there in years. Obviously those business ventures haven't catapulted him passed what he accomplished at ESPN FACTS OVER FEELINGS
I love the family bond between the both of you....The respect and love for one another shines through the lens....blessings to both of yall in whatever yall do going forward
@KYngleE _ you’re saying nice try like you made a point..he didn’t get pushed out the game and you can’t tell a person how they should feel he was still a very good player especially on defense and said out of his own mouth he wanted to retire on top and spend more time with his family and he was happy..nice try tho thinking you were right
Too me it's a blessing to finally see these two icons together. They were definitely reporters that I rooted for. I'm just glad and especially thrilled that they didn't fall but have managed to stand in their own righted to bigger & brighter things. I salute the both of them. ✊🏾✊🏾👑
Man glad y'all did this. It brings back so many memories and good times when y'all were at ESPN. Peace love and blessings to you both...Side note: Jemele I love❤️👸🏿❤️
I want to personally thank you both for this. I have experienced something very similar in my own life being let go from a position . Everything you expressed about how you felt resonates so much with me. Thank you because it's an answered prayer to be able to move on and live life at your full potential. Trust me my job was no where near as profitable or high profile as either of careers but I have a true sense of relief by seeing your example. Thank you for your experience, it means the world to me and I hope to meet you both one day to thank you personally. Blessings 🙏🙏
Whenever I get to hear Jemele and Michael's telling of how they left ESPN, I'll take advantage of it. I had my own opinion on why they've both left. Watching this video, I wasn't far off. There was research l had for my questions. What I got is so much better than having my curiosity satisfied. To hear from them both that they've moved on. I'm especially happy to hear Michael say he's no longer in that toxic work environment. There's so much sanity in the realization that ESPN won't apologize or change. Too many times have good people tried to bang their heads against a brick wall. I'm not watching ESPN anymore. And I don't miss it at all. Because I can watch Jemele and Michael on their own media. Where they are happy and healthy with what they're doing.
👸🏾🤴🏽Watched y’all everyday! ESPN dropped the fkn ball!!! You deserved way better times a million. Can’t say how great it was to see “us” on “big time” TV. I could say way more. I love y’all.
They got on the big stage and messed it up. They was mad 🌽 why yall om here gassing them. Lmaoo we wanted sports at 6pm. We wanna heat last min injury reports etc. Niggas betting mad money. And them 2 on espn at 6pm laughing at they own trash jokes. Clowning
@@bigworm10025 This dude is on point Holy Baby. Where U get your investment tips Auntie Jenkins from her ratty ass patches couch in dem Baltimore Duplexes?
Yup y’all still have the juice! You guys chemistry and genuine love for one another is beautiful! Love to see you guys do more together build your own empire!
You got to be able to help yourself before someone else can help you. Words from Jemele Hill on His&Hers .Those words was my aid when I was still in a dark place in life. Thank You Jemele Hill
Man I miss seeing you guys on TV. His and Hers was my show. When y’all went to the 6, I was so proud of y’all. I remember seeing the hurt in Micheal’s face on TV when you left the show. So glad y’all was able to use ESPN as a springboard. Still proud of you guys.
Often times people try to hold open a door that God is closing; it happened to me. I was released from a job with these words on a piece of paper: “Our production no longer warrants your position.” I had been at that company for 9 years at which I held and prospered in multiple positions. Then they said, “... and there is nothing else for you here.” It hurt at the time, but I eventually came to realize that there were greater things that God had for me. Those final words firmly closed that chapter of my life so that I could be about His business. Michael you are 100% right, it was a win for Jemele.
@KK L W This is not true! Oprah owns 90 percent of Harpo productions. Harpo productions own a minority stake in OWN NETWORK and btw she CEO of the company So, yes she still has a percentage of ownership in this company! But you’re right majority of ownership is still own by them!
I watched both of them from when they started espn on tv... had the biggest crush when I heard Ms. Hill say she was a 49er fan... keep doing ya thang yall have my support
You didnt lose, you kept your integrity, dignity, and morals.... often time people see injustice and still let them happen, it's the voice that brings up the volume on the subject that we need to listen to... ESPN wants to ignore, wants no backlash, wants good ratings, it's a Business unfortunately, but you didnt lose, you have your own platform, you have respect from others, especially those that are important to you, I miss you guys and glad that you see that you were on the right side of history.
Proud of you guys! Y’all changed the culture of talking sports while doing so under the constraints of the machine. You are definitely where you are supposed to be!
I miss this energy! They need to do a His & Hers 3.0......These two are magic together. Once they (especially Mike) heal from the ESPN trauma, they need to get back together.
Damn I miss these two together, whenever they show up together I will show up! These two continue to inspire and give those without a voice the power to speak up! Ride or die, I love these two
I remember watch y’all on ESPN every night religiously. Just seeing someone who looks and sounds like me on prime time TV is/was so refreshing. I wanna thank you both for inspiring the next wave of young brothas and sistas 🖤❤️💚💯. And good luck to whatever future projects you have going on.
Man that New Orleans in Mike comes out when he gets passionate!!! I will listen to this as part of my morning devotional until I move this mountain. Proud of you both!!
These two brought social and political issues to a sports program that no one wanted to bothered with including myself. ESPN lost millions of subscribers and millions of dollars due to their social warrior bullshit. ESPN did the right thing letting both of them go. I would have also.
Thank you for that! Always liked Michael and also you two as a team. And I agree 💯 with his surmisal of that episode in your lives... ❤ #Togetherness = #Cohesion + #Synchronicity
No. Their heads got big. They was always mouthy. They was working for a an organization, and acted like they ran the show. They quickly found out that’s not how you work.
I am so glad they had this conversation, awakening for us all who supported them through al the BS. I was not really a sports fan until Jemele and Michael. I loved the witty reparte between them on the show and they not only had me really look at and think about basketball but beyond that the landscape of sports, sports reporting and representation in sports. They are advocates for us all and that was what captured me about them in particular. Jemele demonstrated that there is no separation of what she does for a living before the camera and what she believes in, what's important to her and Mike did the same. They are thriving now and I am personally so grateful for that!
1. His and Hers was my favorite show, even over First Take. 2. The reason it's so painful is because as black people we always end up in this situation. We work twice as hard to get, half of what we deserve with the constant fear that the rug could be pulled from under us. It's just sad that regardless of the level you reach, the story is still the same. I'm happy for Jemele and happy that Michael was able to get through this TRAUMATIC experience. People have no idea the amount of trauma our culture takes on and yet still smiles, laughs and perseveres.
His and Hers. We knew it couldn’t last. Ya’ll used to talk about it all the time. You would even refer to this future moment, after you’d been fired. The real surprise was how it all got past the BigFourLetter. Excluding any non compete agreement, I strongly encourage you all to find a vehicle together. Your chemistry is still there, that’s so valuable.
Should just stayed with the show ”Numbers never lie” or even “His & Hers” instead of moving too sportscenter it all went downhill from there in my opinion
Numbers Never Lie was where it started, His and Hers was more deep bc they talked about topics unrelated to sports, so that made that show the shit! I remember the last few episodes of His and hers and they looked so sad bc they were leaving the show but tried to keep us, the viewers, happy by saying the 6ix was going to be just as good....I knew they were lying 😓😢🤧
Man I woke up this morning thinking about a bunch of negative 💩💩💩💩. Then I watched this video and the black love, intelligence, beauty, confidence, growth, self assessment,truth and brotha to sista and sista to brotha caring and trust brightened my day and forced me to smile. Much love to the two of you, keep winning 🙏.
I watched mostly every episode you guys did and love everyone. You two were ahead of your time. They're copying your skits Now, they're copying your platform now. 👍 Coach Dre 👏✊
I do miss them on ESPN, sometimes they were off sports topics for too long but I understand using your platform to get off. They both always had great well thought out takes.
Man I really want to say thank you for all that you did for the culture! You guys are still great and I love what Mike said I have a lot of respect for that and I just want you to continue doing great things. We support y’all for sure #BlackExcellence own your own!!! Don’t be controlled by anything.
I think Jemele is a perfectionist; that's why it's so hard for her to accept the cancellation of y'all show and I get it. Be nice if both of you could merge your intellectual prowess and your charisma with that of Roland Martin, Karen Hunter, and Dr. Gregg Carr to form an impenetrable "Dream Team" of some sort. Now that would be STRAIGHT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’ve always wondered where Michael Smith went after ESPN. He’s still an inspiration.
What’s good my fellow Ravens fan ‼️😈
He has A show with Michael Holley on peacock now. It's also on podcast format which I subscribe too

They made ESPN cool. First Take was ruthless and angry. His and hers, numbers never lie, and their other projects were laid back, funny, and cool.
Their numbers plummeted. Hill is very unlikeable.
They ruined ESPN. The best athletes are White. No one wants to hear two blacks whine about how White people are dominating them.
White people > blacks.
Glad ESPN wised up and fired that Agitator.
Cool?? They were black racists. They hated white people
They sucked, overplayed their hands with racecard
His & Hers was the truth! I used to listen and download every episode. It was a treasure. Keep grinding family!
I relate to everything that brother Mike is talking about. I used to be a producer for Black entertainment television BET, I co-created Spring Bling. I used to produce Rap City tha Bassment.

What are you into nowadays? Would love to get your take on this subject!!!
Thank you for sharing your story and standing for woman when it was costly.
Those of us who dare to stand up for what's right have a story.
“A mistake” for standing up for sexual harassment ☹️

The question is why don't they have a show on Revolt or OWN?
Revolt pays pennies
@KK L W This is not true! Oprah owns 90 percent of Harpo productions. Harpo productions own a minority stake in OWN NETWORK and btw she CEO of the company So, yes she still has a percentage of ownership in this company! But you’re right majority of ownership is still own by them!
Why would they be there when they own their own shit? I don’t see a difference between Revolt Own or Espn
@KK L W and Oprah not black and didn’t own that network
No one really watches Revolt. ESPN is more mainstream and their time slot was a top slot
Epic episode. I was hoping that at some point Michael would be on your podcast. Nice to see the band back together if only for a little while!!!

It's just sad that regardless of the level you reach, the story is still the same. I'm happy for Jemele and happy that Michael was able to get through this TRAUMATIC experience. People have no idea the amount of trauma our culture takes on and yet still smiles, laughs and perseveres.
This was great to watch/listen to. I feel like I got some closure. Lol. This was by far was of my favorite duos to watch on tv.
From the Moors in California, we appreciate you two, and enjoy your heart and minds
Jemele with the great joke “I’m breathing different my body different” lmao
John john da don and Jaz the Rapper..
Somebody holla if you hear me!
Im weak 😂😂
Michael gotta hit them with the multiple choice!

His and Hers. We knew it couldn’t last.
Ya’ll used to talk about it all the time.
You would even refer to this future moment, after you’d been fired.
The real surprise was how it all got past the BigFourLetter.
Excluding any non compete agreement, I strongly encourage you all to find a vehicle together. Your chemistry is still there, that’s so valuable.
You were two of my favorite espn journalists/personalities. You both had thoughtful takes that were of often supported by facts and statistics.
Great convo. And quite inspiring to me who’s wondering what’s down the road in my career.
Raw and amazing thank you both 🙏🏾
Should just stayed with the show ”Numbers never lie” or even “His & Hers” instead of moving too sportscenter it all went downhill from there in my opinion
I'm pretty sure it was forced on them
No win situation
No, when they were put on the 6, it went down hill from there. His&Hers was the best sports show I ever seen, miss it immensely
Numbers Never Lie was where it started, His and Hers was more deep bc they talked about topics unrelated to sports, so that made that show the shit! I remember the last few episodes of His and hers and they looked so sad bc they were leaving the show but tried to keep us, the viewers, happy by saying the 6ix was going to be just as good....I knew they were lying 😓😢🤧
Once they moved the show at 6 and changed the name to just SPORTSCENTER, it was a wrap 😭😭😭
REAL TALK RIGHT HERE!!!
They changed sportscenter to 6 and back to sportscenter.
The 6slix was trash. They was on there clowing and it was 🌽 Wasn't even funny. I knew that show wasn't gonna last.
Why he gasing her? Nobody go to her to hear about sports. Ain't espn about sports. These two was ok and thats it.
Always loved my dude Michael Smith.....Jemele Hill do....your thang gurl. #Yougotthis...that is how the universe orchestrated it.
TH-cam held me down today reconnected me with some old friends bout to enjoy this love y’all ✊🏾
Man I woke up this morning thinking about a bunch of negative 💩💩💩💩. Then I watched this video and the black love, intelligence, beauty, confidence, growth, self assessment,truth and brotha to sista and sista to brotha caring and trust brightened my day and forced me to smile. Much love to the two of you, keep winning 🙏.
I STILL SEE THE PAIN IN MIKE SHE BETTER HAD GAVE HIM SOME OF THAT LAWSUIT MONEY SHE WON 🤔🙄😳🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
Wow! Hadn’t known this. She still messed up the bag though.
that was a great conversation... i really enjoyed that... its life... ups and downs... glad to hear both are on the up
Y'all had the best show on the channel at the time.
LOVE THESE TWO TOGETHER
I watched mostly every episode you guys did and love everyone. You two were ahead of your time. They're copying your skits Now, they're copying your platform now. 👍
Coach Dre 👏✊
Salute to both of them ...loved the skits they did😂😂😂
I absolutely loved these two together man fr fr I hated when that show went off...it will never be anything like it again...
We love y'all and need yall
We? Lol we? Bull sh
I stopped watching ESPN after you guys were gone. Love to you both.
so much gold in this video
I do miss them on ESPN, sometimes they were off sports topics for too long but I understand using your platform to get off. They both always had great well thought out takes.
Man I really want to say thank you for all that you did for the culture! You guys are still great and I love what Mike said I have a lot of respect for that and I just want you to continue doing great things. We support y’all for sure #BlackExcellence own your own!!! Don’t be controlled by anything.
My favorite duo!
I enjoyed whatchn y'all on ESPN, and still enjoy seeing the two of you chop it up.
1 of the best sportshows ever both of them were excellent
Professionals informational intellectual individuals.
Loved these 2 on espn. They did great work.
This the GROWN PEOPLE conversation.....THAT REAL TALK
Love seeing you to work together in any capacity. Shout-out to mike for the Gibbs merch
Yall had the best show in ESPN... and the fact Mike is from my city... is a bonus....p.s. they played yall fa sho...!!!!!
I think Jemele is a perfectionist; that's why it's so hard for her to accept the cancellation of y'all show and I get it. Be nice if both of you could merge your intellectual prowess and your charisma with that of Roland Martin, Karen Hunter, and Dr. Gregg Carr to form an impenetrable "Dream Team" of some sort. Now that would be STRAIGHT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You guys are awesome. Stay strong the powers that be can’t keep us down. We will not be silenced. 💯
They dropped the ball with y'all. Y'all were great man. "That part" of America wasn't ready for y'all.
Let’s be real Michael smith would have been a much bigger personality if jermill hill wasn’t there holding him back
I really enjoyed this.
