In fact, Nolan said that the most fun she had while she was at ESPN was being on Highly Questionable because there was more than just talking about sports on a sports show. It was very surprising to me how easy it was to get the yes, but are you supportive of this or are you just going to let me do this?” “We had to film it in a prop closet a pilot for it just to show them what it would be. We got to the point where it’s like let’s pitch them a show because they are launching ESPN+ and they are going to need stuff for it.
“What we ended up doing is - Ashley Braband, who was my life raft at that company, she saw me right away and was like ‘I recognize what you are trying to do, I align with you, and I want to help you do it’. Even though ESPN told her yes to doing the show, she never knew if they were actually supportive of her in the idea. While at ESPN, Nolan ended up hosting her show on ESPN+, Always Late, with Ashley Braband as her co-host and producer. I didn’t know who my boss was, I didn’t know what they wanted me to do.” “If there’s no bar, I don’t know what measure I’m being judged by and that ended up being what hurt me in the end. It should have been a red flag, it should have made me be like ‘Make them tell you what they want from you’. “I think the press release when they announced I was going to work there, I think the quote I gave them was something along the lines of making fun of how vague it was that they would not tell me what I was really going to do. When I was a little girl, I always dreamed that one-day announcements regarding my specific assignments would be forthcoming.”Īs Katie Nolan looks back at first agreeing to join ESPN, she wished that she would have made ESPN tell her what exactly they wanted her to do. “I could not be more excited to have a prominent digital presence while also making appearances across ESPN studio programming. Nolan brought up this quote that she gave in the press release back then: “I thought they weren’t going to pay me all that money and not give me stuff to do, so don’t just not sign this because it doesn’t outline you will have a show.” They were like we’ve got a whole video team and we want to do something digital with you and we want you to be the face of our digital presence and we are going to pay you all this money,” Nolan said. Katie Nolan was a guest on South Beach Sessions with Dan Le Batard and she said that when she signed the first of her two contracts with ESPN, the specifics of her role were very vague and she just wanted to know what she needed to do to meet the bar ESPN was looking for from her.
