Here you go!

Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog-Eating Contest will air live on Monday, July 4. ESPN has exclusive live broadcast rights from 10:45 am ET to the conclusion of the event, expected to be at 1 pm ET. This marks the 19th consecutive year ESPN has televised the event.

The women’s competition coverage begins at 10:45 am ET and is telecast live on ESPN3. The men’s competition coverage begins at 12 pm ET and is telecast live on ESPNEWS. ESPN3 will also feature ISO cams on Top-ranked Female Miki Sudo and World Champion Joey Chestnut during their respective competitions, in addition to full coverage of both the women’s and men’s events. Re-airs will be on ESPN at 4 pm ET and 10 pm ET. Air times subject to change.

New this year, ESPN SportsCenter Anchor John Anderson will do play-by-play of the eating contest, with in-depth analysis by Major League Eating’s Richard Shea. The 2022 Nathan’s Famous Fourth of July Hot Dog-Eating Contest will take place back in Coney Island, returning to the iconic Nathan’s Famous flagship restaurant at the corner of Surf and Stillwell avenues after being forced to alternate locations in 2020 and 2021 by the pandemic.

Chestnut seeks a new record after eating 76 hot dogs and buns last year in the 10-minute, all-you-can-eat contest. Sudo, the number-one-ranked female in the world with a personal best of 48 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes, will return after missing the 2021 contest due to pregnancy. She will battle Michelle Lesco of Arizona, who ate 30 ¾ hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes last year.

Nathan’s Famous will also make its annual donation of 100,000 Nathan’s Famous hot dogs to the Food Bank for New York City prior to the event. 

Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win.  Life is too short for light/lite beer!  Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

    I wonder what the Women's prize amounts are?  I think I could give them a run for the money and at least place.

    How are your man boobs sizing up these days?  I’m just trying to figure out how much work it would take for you to mix in with the crowd, don’t interpret this as me asking you out.

    I wish this were in the OT Forum.  But, let's just say:

    Contest finished.  Once again Joey Chestnut wins with 63 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes.  Cleared the field by 20.  Off his record of last year with 76.  
    Now you know!

    He put down 74 last year but he was on crutches and had to take down an animal right activist while competing in the competition this year. Chestnut still took first.

    I am dying at the MC. When you roll out of the gate with “They say the world of competitive eating is the battleground upon which god and Lucifer battle for our mortal souls…and they are right”! You are in for a show. The weigh in and competitor intros are just comic gold. So good.

    The asymptote appears to be somewhere around 100, or one every six seconds.

    That's ignoring shrinkflation.  Next year a 7-pak of Nathan's will weigh 6.3 oz, and an eight-pack of hot dog buns will be a six-pack, just because they can.  
    I hate everybody.

    But arguably not the worst of the bunch, that would be Envy.  Growing up Methodist I was taught that is only one with a zero fun/pleasure component, so if one must, pick from the others.
