Tony Kornheiser is known as a radio and TV personality. He has been in the business for more than a decade and until now his active on his job. He has his own radio show, which is called “The Tony Kornheiser Show” and works as a co-host in “Pardon the Interruption” together with Michael Wilbon. He also served as an ESPN analyst on the “Monday Night Football” during 2006 to 2008. However, aside from having a colorful career as a TV and radio personality he is also known for criticizing other individual and this is why he is facing a suspension from his TV show in ESPN.

Kornheiser’s comment on the dress on one of ESPN’s anchor in “SportCenter,” Hannah Storm, has resulted for his two weeks suspension from the show “Pardon the Interruption.” His famous comments about Hannah were aired last week on his own radio show. According to Kornhesier, “Hannah Storm in a horrifying, horrifying outfit today” and “She looks like she has sausage casing wrapping around her upper body … I know she’s very good, and I’m not supposed to be critical of ESPN people, so I won’t … but Hannah Storm … come on now! Stop! What are you doing? … She’s what I would call a Holden Caulfield fantasy at this point.” If Kornheiser find this amusing but for Storm it is very offensive.

This comment’s is the reason why he will be facing two week’s vacation from his TV show. According to the executive vice president of ESPN, Kornheiser’s comment’s was inappropriate and that it is hurtful not only to Storm but for her family as well.

After receiving his suspension Kornheiser immediately apologies on what he has said. He has accepted the consequence on what he has done and he is looking forward to be back to the TV show after his suspension.
