Former ESPN employee Britt McHenry decided to give her thoughts on one of her former employer’s shows. She asked on her Instagram Story whether or not anyone watched the show “High Noon.”
McHenry then called it an example of “filling demos over talent.”
While I personally haven’t seen very much of the show, I would assume that people watch the show or it wouldn’t be on TV.
It turns out my instincts are spot on and the show is more than a “demo filler.” It also turns out that High Noon outperforms some FOX Sports’ biggest shows.

One of the hosts, Pablo Torre, caught wind of McHenry’s criticism and fired back at his former co-worker with a joke about parking meters.
She should stop worrying about filling “demo’s” and start worrying about filling parking meters https://t.co/nhNxSGGe5G

Torre remembers the good old days when Britt was just a sideline reporter who used to yell towing company employees.
