In 2003, Hoover left Fox News to host ESPN2's morning program Cold Pizza. In addition to her duties hosting Cold Pizza, she became a judge on ESPN's reality contest Dream Job.

In March 2005, she, along with Cold Pizza co-host Thea Andrews, were replaced by Dana Jacobson. Since then, Kit has appeared less on television and only covered tennis events for ESPN, such as Wimbledon and the French Open in 2005. After failing to agree on a new role for her, Hoover left ESPN in the latter half of 2005.
