ESPN told former NFL analyst Ryan Clark during a mid-episode commercial break of NFL Live on July 20 that he would be laid off after July 21, opting to inform him during the broadcast rather than afterward; Clark was recording remotely and not in the studio as ESPN, amid several high-profile cuts that week, announced the news. Clark later acknowledged the decision on social media.
ESPN reportedly told NFL analyst Ryan Clark he was being let go while he was on NFL Live; Clark counters that he was told to wrap up and wasn’t given the option to finish, challenging reports that he wasn’t forced off air.
Clark disputed TMZ’s report that he wasn’t forced off ESPN’s NFL Live, saying he asked to be done and was told 'yes'; he was informed of his firing during the show and did not appear for the closing segment. A former NFL safety, Clark has been an ESPN analyst on NFL Live, First Take, and Get Up since 2015 following a 13-year NFL career.
