You literally proved my point by mentioning why she won the Emmy :laff:

Everybody isn't winning Emmy's out here and you're lying if you said otherwise. The Emmy was the reason she was in high demand and got the milli in the first place. Their biggest mistake was thinking that she'd be a Mina Kimes when sports aren't her forte.

She's not a sports personality, but more so suited in the pop culture realm. That's why they never should have signed her in the first place and why she should have went with Simmons instead.
b nobody gives a fukk about a emmy like that

People keep saying that the Ray Rice shyt made her a household name when she wasn't even famous enough to get into the Lebron James ESPY afterparty just a few years ago. She literally had to fake like she was Rose Lavelle just to get in :mjlol:

ESPN's Katie Nolan sneaked into LeBron James' ESPYs after-party by posing as USWNT star Rose Lavelle
This is the first line of the article. :troll:
Every year after the ESPYs, LeBron James hosts an "Uninterrupted" after-party that the ESPN host Katie Nolan says is "famously impossible to get into."

If I'm not mistaken, her Ray Rice rant was before the Emmy so yea, after it went viral she was hot.

I can't remember if FOX had her segments on pregame or at halftime but it seems like after they played her rant she was on all the time.
I'm sure I'll be corrected. Maybe she was already one before the RR rant but she definitely blew up after it.

Ehhh her show got cancelled because of low ratings even in spite of the Emmy win, so that Ray Rice rant did nothing to help her in the grand scheme of things.

Skip is the biggest personality and highest paid in the industry. You think he was on the list?

Its a klutch party, you a klitch athlete or potential one or someone friendly to klutch and you are in if you arent you arent getting in.

It's a Klutch party for the ESPYs. Fox won't even let Skip show up on ESPN+ with SAS, yet you think that they'll be cool with showing up at the ESPYs afterpay. Come on now breh.

Sarah Spain and Diana Russini's names were on the list and they have nothing to do with the list. My point in mentioning it is that she isn't as famous or a household name as people make her out to be.

The ratings on her show on Fox Sports and ESPN were trash in spite of the Emmy win.

Must not be impossible to get into if Sarah Spain's name was on the list :yeshrug:
Ehh, my homegirl worked for Bron and Mav and went to those ESPY parties. Security was tight and they made cats give up their phones and cams.
A lot of fukkery behind the scenes. I can see why she as a "reporter/host/journalist" may have had a hard time getting in there or not getting one of the few invites.

I'm sure the reporters that got in are vetted, have good relationships, signed an NDA, or know not to spill what goes on at those parties.
And I'm sorry, where was Sarah Spain in that article or are you saying that she's been invited before?

She's talked previously over the years about ESPY Afterparty's and the same one that Nolan couldn't get into.

My entire point is that Nolan isn't as famous as people on here are making her out to be even after the Ray Rice rant as her show still got cancelled because of ratings. She's always had small niche following, so I don't know why ESPN thought that they could make her bigger than that.

What does espn shows have to do with a klutch party? Nothing. The soccer girl isnt a household name and she was on it. The list to lebrons party means nothing

Only Stephen a smith and max are worth a kill. I wouldn’t pay 95% of these people more than 250k.
