Ask Jason Whitlock a question, and you're going to get a straight answer — whether you like it or not. After years of guest-hosting programs such as ESPN's "Pardon the Interruption," the provocative Fox Sports columnist is getting his own TV show on FS1. Whitlock is teaming up with another ex-ESPNer, Colin Cowherd, for the new "Speak for Yourself," a one-hour show that premieres June 13 (6 p.m. ET).
"Speak for Yourself" comes on the heels of a bittersweet moment for 49-year old Whitlock. ESPN finally launched "The Undefeated," last week. ESPN boss John Skipper recruited Whitlock to be editor-in-chief of the so-called "Black Grantland" back in 2013.
