Danyelle Sargent (born c. 1978), is an American sports television reporter. Sargent was hired, in 2004, by the television network, ESPN, to work on their ESPNEWS channel. She also contributed to ESPN2's "Cold Pizza," now titled ESPN First Take. Prior to that, she had previously worked as a sports reporter and anchor for Metro Sports, a local Time Warner Cable sports channel in Kansas City. Sargent was the product of minor controversy on March 9, 2006 when Sargent was co-anchoring a live broadcast of ESPNEWS and a series of technical difficulties occurred, leading ESPN to air a taped segment played. Thinking their microphones had been cut (which is the normal procedure when airing a taped segment), she exclaimed "What the **** was that?" over the broadcast. She debuted on FSN Final Score November 5, 2006 for FSN. Sargent served as co-emcee of the 2005 and 2006 NCAA woman of the year awards. She is a graduate of Florida State University and began her television career at WGXA, in Macon, GA.
