Matt Kelliher has been with Pardon the Interruption since its start in 2001. With the show set to celebrate its 10th birthday on Saturday, we caught up with PTI’s producer for the “Front & Center” podcast. Matt discusses the show’s beginnings, the use of the “rundown” bar, the relationship between Tony Kornheiser and Mike Wilbon (including one day when they almost came to blows) and samples some questions from our PTI Birthday Trivia quiz (coming next week to Front Row).
In the video below, we share some of the highlights from that first show which aired on Oct. 22, 2001.
