What happened to Keyshawn, JWill and Zubin? Netizens have been left confused for weeks after two of the ESPN Radio show hosts haven't appeared on the show.
In August 2020, ESPN Radio’s new national lineup officially began as Keyshawn Johnson, Jay Williams, and Zubin Mehenti began their run as hosts of the Keyshawn, JWill, and Zubin show. The show has become one of the favourites for sports fans in the US as former athletes Keyshawn Johnson and Jay Williams joined former Sportscenter presenter, Zubin Mehenti, to discuss the day's biggest sports stories. However, the recent absence of co-hosts Zubin and Keyshawn has gotten sports fans slightly worried.

On March 16, Keyshawn Johnson took to Instagram to reveal that his first-born daughter, Maia Johnson, had passed away.

Where is Zubin now?
While some fans on Twitter believe that ESPN might have fired Zubin, his bio on social media still has links to the sports networking giants. Fans have also been keen to know whether he will return to the lineup anytime in the future. “Where is Zubin?” asked one person to which another one responded: “Was just thinking the same thing. Where is Zubin? Anybody know?”
Another fan added: “I certainly agree. A quick, Zubin is on vacation (if so) would be great to hear. We’re not asking for his life story, right?”; "Where’s Zubin been last two weeks?” asked another. Some have been worried that Zubin's absence from the show might be due to personal reasons or COVID-19, but there have been no reports confirming why Zubin is missing from the show.
