Their new show, SC with Jay and Dan, will start on TSN in September and will air at midnight EST before being replayed throughout the morning.
“We get to do highlights again,” O’Toole said excitedly in an interview with James Duthie. “I can’t tell you how excited we are for that because we haven’t done highlights in four years.”

During that same interview the pair revealed they’ll be bringing a lot of their classic segments and gimmicks back, but there will also be some differences.
“It’s SC with Jay and Dan because Sportscentre isn’t hip with the kids anymore,” said Onrait. “So we’re going with SC with Jay and Dan, we’re bringing back ‘Ya blew it!’ and apparently the network is still negotiating with Producer Tim.”
Jay and Dan left Sportscentre in 2013 for an opportunity to be hosts of Fox Sports 1’s new show, Fox Sports Live.
While they had some success, the ratings weren’t competitive with ESPN and the pair’s contracts weren’t renewed after the network cancelled the show last week.
There was immediate outcry to have them brought back to Canada and TSN wasted no time in making the move.
