College Gameday Celebrity Guest Picker: Sebastian Maniscalco
November 26th, 2021 at 10:12 AM ^
Never heard of him and he says he knows nothing about college football. Sounds great.
November 26th, 2021 at 12:57 PM ^
Your loss. He is one of the funniest comedians ever. Check him out on Netflix. Clean too, so good to share with family.
November 26th, 2021 at 2:08 PM ^
Sensing a trend here, C - every time you mention this guy's humor is "clean" you get negs.
Apparently that's not a plus for some on this board?!
November 27th, 2021 at 10:55 AM ^

That's what I did. Not even from Michigan. Didn't they have the Chainsmokers on last time in AA? Lame ass band with no ties to Michigan either. WTF. So random.
November 26th, 2021 at 10:19 AM ^
Was Seth not available?
November 26th, 2021 at 10:20 AM ^
I hate that fucking guy.
November 26th, 2021 at 12:58 PM ^
Dude makes tens of millions of people laugh with clean humor. Why would you hate a guy like that?
November 26th, 2021 at 2:06 PM ^
Hate is a strong word.
How about dgaf about him & get someone with ties to The Game!
That work for you?
November 26th, 2021 at 10:20 AM ^
Who the fuck is this guy?
Can I just say here that Gameday has been going downhill for the last several years? I mean, a top 5 matchup in the rivalry of all rivalries and a nobody from Chicago is the best they can come up with? So far as I can tell, he isn't associated with either school.
November 26th, 2021 at 10:31 AM ^
It really has. Game day used to be must see viewing for all college football fans, but now it’s barely tolerable - even if it features your team
November 26th, 2021 at 10:32 AM ^
I typically watch gameday a couple times a year. This year I watched the first gameday getting ready for the season but since I have found myself watching BigNoon kickoff and flipping with BTN tailgate.
BigNoon Kickoff has been having more fun and has been a better show without the SEC bs with espn. I now have a viable morning cf show to watch. And I’ll flip to BTN tailgate for more Michigan coverage.
Gameday really lost me with all the sec nonsense and basically ruining cf. Espn has been behind a lot of the bs in cf and purposefully tried to wreck the big ten for going with Fox with BTN and other game contracts. So, fk espn
November 26th, 2021 at 11:31 AM ^
Let’s see, you can watch Gameday with an SEC brain dead Neanderthal homer and an OSU slappy in Kirkstreit or you can watch Fox Big Noon with two former USC slappies and a Domer…ooh boy the possibilities are endless! Throw in Bear and Corso, which I don’t understand half of what either of them are talking about most of time, and it’s the internet for pre game stuff for me.
November 26th, 2021 at 12:49 PM ^
It’s gotten the point where all I feel is sadness for Lee Corso when Gameday goes on. I really hope someone sits both him and Dick Vitale down at the end of the season and says it’s time to enjoy retirement. I get Corso has probably earned the right to do what he wants but does he really want everyone getting a front seat view of his slide into the full effects of old age?
November 26th, 2021 at 10:21 AM ^
Never heard of this person.
November 26th, 2021 at 12:59 PM ^
Check him out on netflix or youtube. Very funny guy. You won't be sorry.
November 26th, 2021 at 1:24 PM ^
I'm starting to think you might be his agent, CLord.
November 26th, 2021 at 2:09 PM ^
Hell, he might be him!
November 26th, 2021 at 10:23 AM ^
You think they'd place a call to me, Clarence Boddicker, crime boss of Old Detroit. But, once again, nothing. I'm iconic in that town, yet they bring in some nobody. I still don't know who the fuck the Chainsmokers are.
November 26th, 2021 at 2:28 PM ^
Eh, you’re a Tigers fan. You never mentioned anything about rooting for the Wolverines.
November 26th, 2021 at 10:27 AM ^
Did he pay ESPN to be the guest picker?
November 26th, 2021 at 1:50 PM ^
Obviously
November 26th, 2021 at 10:28 AM ^
Lol. Really? Love this guy's standup comedy! He's surely clueless about the game and The Game, but ... yeah ... a little bit of ridiculous on Saturday might be entertaining.
Go Blue!
November 26th, 2021 at 10:37 AM ^
Keith Jackson isn’t available, I take it.
November 26th, 2021 at 10:54 AM ^
College GameDay has been garbage for years. I stopped watching about 8 years ago. Has it gotten better? Am I missing anything??
November 26th, 2021 at 2:30 PM ^
Nope. It still sucks, just like everything else on the Worldwide Leader…
November 26th, 2021 at 10:58 AM ^
Never heard of the guy, but when I saw the name in the OP I assumed it was some MLS "celebrity."
November 26th, 2021 at 11:08 AM ^
Never heard of him? Who is he?
November 26th, 2021 at 2:32 PM ^
He’s a standup comedian who will be playing at LCA in a couple of weeks.
November 26th, 2021 at 2:32 PM ^
I assume his publicist got him this gig on ESPN because he’s coming to Detroit in December
November 26th, 2021 at 11:09 AM ^
Why not put Madonna and her daughter on there? That would at least be... interesting. No idea who this guy is.
November 26th, 2021 at 11:17 AM ^
Welp. So much for building up good juju.
November 26th, 2021 at 11:19 AM ^
Why not Juwan? I mean they had lane Kiffin guest pick when he was coaching the game.
November 26th, 2021 at 11:23 AM ^
This is giving me flashbacks of my 1996 commencement. I still can't remember who she was.
Wikipedia says this guy went to NIU. What the fuck is this guy doing here?
I'm sure they could have gotten the Sklar twins if they were in a pinch.
November 26th, 2021 at 11:25 AM ^
I find him funny. Check out his Netflix specials if you have time today.
November 26th, 2021 at 2:11 PM ^
And CLord's burner is heard from...
November 26th, 2021 at 11:36 AM ^
How about using a fucking US Olympian from U of M, a soldier from the area, a school teacher tied to the team somehow, a police officer or a medical professional that has dealt with covid for nearly two years for land sakes? Our game day picks always seem to be the lamest and seem to have no purpose.
November 26th, 2021 at 11:40 AM ^
ESPN is playing it pretty loose with the definition of “celebrity.”
November 26th, 2021 at 11:47 AM ^
Michael Phelps, Derek Jeter, Lucy Lou, James Earl Jones...hell even Tom Brady's in Indianapolis.
November 26th, 2021 at 11:53 AM ^
not my favorite standup but i always enjoyed this bit.
November 26th, 2021 at 12:29 PM ^
Was the octopus who did pretty well picking World Cup winners not available?
November 26th, 2021 at 12:44 PM ^
I’m sure Jack Harbaugh would have been entertaining
November 26th, 2021 at 12:45 PM ^
Who the fuck is this guy?
This is like when they got the fucking Chainsmokers as celebrity pickers, at some point you can’t avoid the conclusion that this is ESPN just goddamn trolling Michigan.
November 26th, 2021 at 1:13 PM ^
This was my second thought, right after WHO? Maybe a counter to Desmond, who always has our back......
November 26th, 2021 at 1:17 PM ^
I'm going to his show at LCA in December - he is a favorite of my family. He does a lot of Italian family humor which is a direct hit for us.
November 26th, 2021 at 2:12 PM ^
That's-a nice!
November 26th, 2021 at 1:39 PM ^
I know who he is but really?! I only know who he is due to being a comedy junkie. He's not all that funny or anything.
For every other school they find an alum or celebrity fan of the school they're visiting. This is just a generic NYC/Jersey comic lmao. He really is as generic as one could be from that area of the country.
I don't see a reason to be impartial just because it's The Game. Last week they had some terrible band that were diehard OSU fans. Every week they do that. When they come to AA they always find some random dude with no affiliation whatsoever.
November 26th, 2021 at 1:48 PM ^
Never heard of the guy.
And you're on my lawn...
