During his years as host of the syndicated celebutainment series 'The Insider,' Pat O'Brien covered Hollywood comeback stories too numerous to mention. Now he's about to cover another comeback tale: his own.

Yes, according to The Hollywood Reporter, O'Brien, who has been floating around on the fringes of the entertainment world for two years since leaving 'The Insider' amidst controversy, finally has landed a new gig. And this time it's back where O'Brien first made his name -- the sports world -- as O'Brien will reportedly be joining the Fox Sports radio broadcast 'Loose Cannons.'

The title of the show, of course, will seem all too appropriate to fans who recall the infamous series of events that led to O'Brien's departure, which culminated in a drunken, sexually aggressive voicemail being leaked to the media.

It appears that O'Brien has finally found a possible path back into the spotlight by returning to sports, which is appropriate; prior to becoming a celebrity-watcher on shows like 'The Insider' and 'Access Hollywood,' O'Brien worked as a sportscaster for CBS and covered five Olympic games. And even though an afternoon radio show is a far cry from the glitz and glamor of Hollywood's red carpets, he couldn't be happier about joining 'Loose Cannons.'

"It's going to be fun," O'Brien, told The New York Post. "A day doesn't go by when someone doesn't ask, 'When are you going back to sports?' This feels like going back home."

"I'm grateful for the opportunity," he added. "There are second chances in this world, and I'm living proof."

You can hear that second chance starting Aug. 16.
