Announced tomorrow on tv. Wtf.
- Thread starter Xenomorph
- Start date
Lee fitting said today on Finebaum around 3 pr 4 pm that they have the guest picker selected. That it took a while to get that person. He would not give any hints as to who it is.
If the picker has been chosen and he/she is being kept secret, only the SNL 2 make sense IMO. They're the only 2 that really pump the crowd up by being revealed at the last possible moment.
Theory 1: they had a maybe from someone big, they backed out, now scrambling to find a replacement and Strickland is deseperatley not wanting to 17 this up.
OR
Theory 2: its someone really big. Someone big enough to put in their contract with espn to not use their image to promote the show beforehand, someone who wants to remain low key. hence the secrecy. Think Ferrell/walken, Brittany spears, oprah.

It has to be somebody HUGE for them to keep it a secret this long
There's no way they're going to keep everybody in suspense until the last second and then unveil somebody like Robin Roberts, Faith Hill or some former MSU athlete. Nothing against them, I think they would've been good guest pickers. But the suspense has been built up so much that anything less than a Katy Perry type super star will be a big buzzkill.

I have no data on it, but I would bet good money they were affected by it last week because they hit a completely different demographic from their usual audience. You probably got some of the TMZ crowd tuning in to see what kind of wacky antics that cooky Katy perry would be up to.
So Paps was at the Cowbell Yell tonight, but they didn't say he was the guest picker? That wouldn't really make sense. I guess maybe ESPN wouldn't let them announce. Whatever. Just win, baby.
eta: I have absolutely no problem if it's Paps. That is how it's supposed to be done. Not pick a random celeb.

I agree that they haven't yet announced because they were holding out on a Ferrell/Walken or similar, but now it looks like Paps. I like Papelbon, but it's not the big get I wanted.
Or, it could be that they want the surprise registered to feed into subsequent viral video type stuff. Ferrell has a record of making surprise appearances: http://blog.sfgate.com/dailydish/2014/06/26/will-ferrell-surprises-fans-at-u-s-soccer-rally/
But it could also be something ho-hum.

Yup. It's Morgan Freeman. He not only played the President, he played God.
