Michael Patrick "Mike" Francesa, Jr. (born March 20, 1954) is an American radio talk show host and television commentator. He is primarily known in his former role co-hosting the Mike and the Mad Dog show on WFAN in New York City.
On December 15, 2017, Francesa retired from his own show, Mike's On: Francesa on the FAN, which occurred during the afternoon drive slot formerly occupied by Mike and the Mad Dog.
He will be succeeded by Chris Carlin, Maggie Gray, and Bart Scott.
Francesa started his career by spending six years at College and Pro Football Newsweekly. He was hired by CBS Sports in 1982 as a researcher, focusing primarily on college sports. At CBS Sports, he was initially a behind-the-scenes, statistic-wielding editorial assistant, but network executives were so impressed by his knowledge that he was made a studio analyst for college basketball and football and acquired such a reputation that The New Yorker termed him "Brent Musburger’s brain."
