The entire on-air cast of Fox Sports’ college football pregame show “Big Noon Kickoff” will be off the air this Saturday, due to COVID-19 protocols, Fox has confirmed to The New York Post.
Fox Sports, which could not say if any of the team is infected with COVID, stated that it was keeping them off-air “out of an abundance of caution,” with guidance from the CDC and safety guidelines from the Los Angeles Department of Public Health.
For Saturday’s show airing before the USC-Arizona State game, host Rob Stone, Urban Meyer, Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush and Brady Quinn will be replaced by host Charissa Thompson and Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long and Emmanuel Acho.
The show will also be one hour, instead of two hours, according to the report.
