Shannon Sharpe Is Pausing Another Project Amid His Legal Issues, but How Will It Impact the Show's Future?

Amid his legal woes, former NFL pro Hall of Famer and star of ESPN's First Take, Shannon Sharpe, has pulled the plug on his eight-city podcast tour, the Nightcap NSFW Tour. After being named in a $50 million sexual assault lawsuit, the Nightcap co-hosts shared the news on a recent episode of his show. Alongside former pro and Dancing with the Stars castmember Chad Ochocinco, Sharpe revealed, "We’ve decided to postpone the Nightcap tour. We look forward to seeing you guys in the summer of 2026. It’s going to be even bigger, even better. But Ocho and I have come to the conclusion that the best thing right now is to postpone the tour. We look forward to seeing each and every one of you in 2026.”
