Comic Marcello Hernández of ‘Saturday Night Live’ to host The ESPYS in its return to New York

NEW YORK (AP) — Marcello Hernández of “Saturday Night Live” will host The ESPYS when the show honoring the past year's top athletes and moments in sports returns to its roots in New York.

The show will air live July 15 on ABC from the David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center.

The first seven editions of the show were held in New York from 1993-99. After two years in Las Vegas, The ESPYS moved to Los Angeles for 22 of the next 24 years.

Hernández joins other “SNL” cast members who have hosted. Dennis Miller helmed the first two years at Madison Square Garden. Norm Macdonald hosted in 1998 at Radio City Music Hall. Tracy Morgan and Seth Meyers also took turns.

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I ran into an old boyfriend I used to curl on a team with, and we went for drinks. We’ve been almost eight years apart, and I couldn’t remember why we broke up, as we always had such a great time together.

It wasn’t until the second date — this time on a weekend — that it came back to me, with a jolt. Pee-yew! I remembered he doesn’t use deodorant on weekends. Why? He enjoys his own body odour. I recalled that a bit too late, and it was just as awful as ever! I went home early.

Tonight, he called and I refused him another date. I said, “Think back. You remember why we broke up?” Then he said, “Oh yeah, you hated my no-deodorant weekend policy. Well, guess what? Some women don’t mind!” I said I really doubted that, and that ended the conversation. Miss L., wouldn’t any women find stinky underarms offensive?
