Highly Questionable (abbreviated HQ) is a daily sports talk television program that airs on weekdays on ESPN at 4:30 PM Eastern and then repeats later at 5:30 on ESPN2 as well as throughout the night on ESPNews. Created as a vehicle for Miami Herald sportswriter and ESPN contributor Dan Le Batard, who also hosts his own radio show for the network, the show premiered on September 12, 2011. From its premiere until May 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 is based in Le Batard's hometown of Miami, Florida, produced via satellite in Washington, D.C., and was created by the same people behind Pardon the Interruption (PTI), which Le Batard has appeared on multiple times as a substitute host. The show is hosted by Le Batard and his father Gonzalo "Papi" Le Batard and as of September 2014 emanates from a studio at the Clevelander Hotel in South Beach. Previously the show taped at q studio set in suburban Miami designed to resemble a stereotypical Miami kitchen. As a nod to the previous set, a bowl filled with plastic fruit is always on the table where the hosts sit.
The show was announced in August 19, 2011, as a creative project between Dan Le Batard and the producers of Pardon the Interruption. The show, and the introduction of Le Batard's father Gonzalo to the project, was part of an effort by ESPN to attract more Latino viewers.DLHQ premiered on Monday September 12, 2011 at 4:00 PM Eastern. Beginning in 2012, other ESPN personalities including Bomani Jones, Michael Wilbon, and Bill Simmons appeared as contributors to the show.
On May 13, 2013, Le Batard got a second co-host when frequent guest Bomani Jones, who had been based out of North Carolina, joined the now-renamed Highly Questionable.. In June 2017, Le Batard said that was the moment the show found its footing, as Jones' addition helped it gain enough viewers to avoid what was considered to be a near certain cancellation.
