Unscripted with Chris Connelly was a half-hour daily interview program that aired on ESPN from October 22, 2001 until June 25, 2002. Originating live Monday through Friday at 5PM ET from the ESPN Zone at Downtown Disney in Anaheim, California, and hosted by Chris Connelly, Unscripted was designed to be a more contemporary version of Up Close, which ran on the network for nearly 20 years. On the show, Connelly would spend the entire half-hour with one guest (or a group appearing together), usually an athlete or someone connected with sports. On the guest's way onto the stage, he/she would stop and sign an autograph onto the wall of the set. The show was shot in front of a live audience.
Unscripted with Chris Connelly debuted the same day as Pardon The Interruption, ESPN's highly-successful debate show, and served as the latter's lead-in. Unscripted, however, never enjoyed the same success. Due to low ratings and the potential of another debate show to capitalize on the success of PTI, Unscripted was canceled after just eight months on the air. After a period of random programming in its timeslot, it was eventually permanently replaced by Around The Horn.
As of 2007, Connelly remains employed by ESPN as a human interest reporter. His reports are often seen on weekend editions of SportsCenter.
