What happens

Highly Questionable (stylized as ¿Highly Questionable?; abbreviated HQ) is an American daily sports talk television program on ESPN. Created as a vehicle for former Miami Herald sportswriter and ESPN contributor Dan Le Batard, who also hosted his own radio show for the network, the show premiered on September 12, 2011. It aired on weekdays at 2:30 PM Eastern. The final show was September 10, 2021. From its premiere until May 10, 2013, the show bore Le Batard's name and was called Dan Le Batard Is Highly Questionable (DLHQ), and from its premiere until March 23, 2015, the show aired on ESPN2. The program was based in Le Batard's hometown of Miami, Florida, and produced via satellite in Washington, D.C. It was created by the same people behind Pardon the Interruption (PTI), on which Le Batard has appeared multiple times as a substitute host. The show was hosted by Le Batard. His father, Gonzalo "Papi" Le Batard, was his daily co-host until November 2019. After taking a 3-month break, Papi made only occasional appearances. Bomani Jones also co-hosted consistently for 5 years until his departure, and since 2017 a rotating guest served as a second co-host. The arrangement became necessary after Bomani Jones, who had joined the show in 2013, relocated to New York to co-host High Noon with Pablo S. Torre. After March 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, Jones made frequent co-host appearances (and occasionally acted as Dan's substitute host) from home via Zoom split-screen tele-conferencing, along with other frequently recurring ESPN personalities Pablo Torre, Mina Kimes, Katie Nolan, Israel Gutierrez, Elle Duncan and Domonique Foxworth. Highly Questionable emanated from ESPN's studio at the Clevelander Hotel in South Beach, where Le Batard's radio program is also broadcast. Previously the show taped at a studio set in suburban Miami designed to resemble a stereotypical Miami kitchen. As a tribute to the previous set, a bowl filled with plastic fruit was always on the table where the hosts sat. On September 9, 2021, it was announced Highly Questionable would be cancelled, with the final episode of the show airing the next day. The show was replaced with This Just In with Max Kellerman.
