University High graduate Zachariah Selwyn did not make the final round yesterday of ESPN’s “Dream Job” competition.
The native Tucsonan, now living in Los Angeles, was cut early, along with Maggie Haskins of Providence, R.I., as he tried to win a one-year contract as an anchor on “SportsCenter.”
Tony Kornheiser of ESPN’s “Pardon the Interruption” and Al Jaffe, vice president for talent negotiation and production recruitment for the network, each voted against Selwyn and Haskins after yesterday’s first round.
Kit Hoover of ESPN’s “Cold Pizza” voted against Haskins and Aaron Levine of Palo Alto, Calif.
“Zach, you impressed me more each week,” Jaffe said during the broadcast. “You stayed true to yourself, and I think that’s terrific.
“You’re very clever, very talented, but I just don’t see you as a ‘SportsCenter’ anchor. I see you more as a feature reporter.”
Mike Hall of Columbia, Mo., defeated Levine in the finals in a vote only of the viewers.
