In a message posted on ABCNews.com, Roberts writes “Right now the best medicine for me is to be at home surrounded by family and loved ones. Thank you for sharing your stories. You inspire me more than you could possibly know. My family and I are eternally grateful.”

Mohr, who once hosted Mohr Sports, a failed late-night (and then early afternoon) talk show on ESPN in the early 2000s, will write a weekly column and host The Alternative With Jay Mohr, which will feature “20 minutes of video segments each week that mix comedic monologues, remote reports and sketch comedy riffing on sports headlines.”
