Ryen Russillo (born August 5, 1975, in West Tisbury, Massachusetts) is an American sports journalist currently employed by ESPN. He is an American sports host.
Since 2009, Russillo has been a host or co-host of the afternoon show on ESPN Radio. The program is currently known as Russillo and Kanell, and Russillo's co-host is ESPN college football analyst Danny Kanell. From 2009 until 2015, Russillo co-hosted with Scott Van Pelt on what was originally titled The Scott Van Pelt Show and later became SVP & Russillo. The show was also briefly known as The Russillo Show following Van Pelt's departure but before Kanell joined.
Russillo is a native of West Tisbury, Massachusetts. He is a 1997 graduate of the University of Vermont, where he was a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and was also an intern at WCAX in Burlington. He was a play-by-play man for the Trenton Thunder for six months before the team relocated.
Before moving to Hartford, Connecticut, Russillo lived in Boston, Massachusetts, where he hosted The Die Hards (mid-2003 to 2005) with co-hosts Anthony Pepe, John Anik, Kevin Winter, and Mike Winn while working for the Sporting News Radio affiliate WWZN. (Winter and Winn left the show relatively early on.)
Russillo did pre-game and post-game commentary for the New England Patriots on WBCN. He was let go after, and possibly as a result of, a personal conflict with John Dennis of WEEI, who had left him a threatening voicemail.
