Russillo and Kanell is a syndicated sports talk radio show hosted by Ryen Russillo and Danny Kanell. The show is heard on ESPN Radio from 1 pm to 4 pm, with all three hours also simulcasted on ESPNews.

The previous version of the show was launched as The Scott Van Pelt Show on July 6, 2009, replacing Tirico & Van Pelt, which was co-hosted by Scott Van Pelt and Mike Tirico. That show began on September 20, 2007 as The Mike Tirico Show, with Van Pelt, Michele Tafoya and Kirk Herbstreit as rotating co-hosts.The Mike Tirico Show aired from 1 pm to 3 pm under that title for a total of 160 shows until April 30, 2008.

On May 1, 2008 the show was officially renamed Tirico & Van Pelt. Van Pelt also began hosting the first version of The Scott Van Pelt Show, which aired from 3 pm to 4 pm, immediately following T&VP. Van Pelt's solo hour ended in March 2009 as T&VP moved down to 2 pm to 4 pm. Tirico left the series in June 2009 to focus on his work with ESPN television, and Ryen Russillo became a co-host. On October 4, 2012, the show officially changed its title to SVP & Russillo.

In May 2015, Van Pelt announced that he was leaving the show to become the weeknight midnight anchor on SportsCenter starting in the late summer of 2015 (September 7).

Mike Tirico, as the titular head of the show, appeared in exactly 75% of the shows. On Mondays he was usually joined by Kirk Herbstreit, Wednesdays he was usually joined by Michele Tafoya, and Tuesdays and Fridays he and Scott Van Pelt were usually together. On Thursdays there was no typical co-host. Erik Kuselias served most frequently as guest host. A day-by-day breakdown of who hosted is as follows:
