"It has been a blast being here tonight, but, listen; we all know there should be someone else right here in this chair next to me right there as he was for my seven years in the role he referred to as my "tv wife" and that's my dear late friend Stuart Scott who is indeed looking over my shoulder tonight," he said, tears threatening to spill over as he pointed to the screen behind him featuring a large photo of him.
Eisen went on to wonder aloud what Scott would have thought of the many sports milestones that have happened since he died, including Eisen's new partnership between ESPN and his daily show NFL GameDay Morning.
Fans expressed their sympathy and their own grief in the comments.
"Rich Eisen nothing but class! Who's cutting onions," added another.
Scott was sadly diagnosed with appendiceal cancer in 2007. His battle against the disease included rigorous and draining rounds of chemotherapy and resulted in a hopeful remission. However in 2011 and 2013 his cancer returned.
"When you die, it does not mean that you lose to cancer. You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the manner in which you live."
Is Rich Eisen officially back on ESPN?
Eisen's return to SportCenter this week is just the beginning. Since the new partnership, Eisen will likely return to his roots routinely, in addition to his NFL Network work and upcoming projects. The deal will allow him to make appearances on the show from time to time.
