SVP and Russillo's final show brings end to Tim Kurkjian's amazing laughing fits image

The SVP and Russillo show on ESPN Radio will air for the final time today at 1 p.m. ET. Scott Van Pelt is headed to the midnight "SportsCenter."

But before what is arguably ESPN Radio's best show says goodbye for good, let's take one last look back at a sneaky hilarious ongoing gag from the show: Tim Kurkjian's hilarious laugh.

Van Pelt has made a habit of doing an impression that sounds a little bit like something from Saturday Night Live's "Californians" sketch, which sends Kurkjian into a total meltdown. It's to the point where people actually approach Kurkjian in public just to make him laugh. (Correction from Twitter: Ryan Hudson points out it's SVP doing a Maryland accent. Clearly, I'm not great with regional accents.) Let's remember the good times.

Deadspin has a great supercut of some other meltdowns that are also worth a listen. We can only hope that Van Pelt and Kurjian discussing Joe Flacco is a regular thing on the midnight "SportsCenter."
