I had no idea who he was until I saw him on SNL last weekend. It was actually hilarious, but he said he's from Tennessee. Weird pick on ESPN's part, or is there some connection he actually has from LSU or Bama? I can't think of one for LSU.

He's a Vandy fan if I'm not mistaken

He is indeed a Vandy fan. He must be doing a media run of some sort

Can you really call it a celebrity pick if most people don’t know who he is ?

Don't be hating just because Captain America is an LSU fan.

He's from Nashville and I think I'm the only one that doesn't find him that funny. He's certainly blown up though.

Not sure why he's the picker.

Is he a comedian or country singer or actor?

Discovered him about a year or two ago thru 2 or 3 Netflix specials of his. Very funny new comedian.

Weird pick due to the seeming lack of connection to either school but he's very entertaining and very likeable so should be an entertaining guest picker if nothing else.

Standup comedian. I do give him credit that he has a successful standup without cursing or being overly R rated. That takes talent.

But I just don't like his delivery.

I guess Lil Wayne, Shaq, and John Goodman are a bunch of nobodies.

Don’t get the downvotes those have been some of our guest pickers in the past and Shaq goes to a game every year

Apparently he's a "clean" comic who is family-friendly.

So that makes sense.

Might check him out. I’m into guys like John Mulaney and Bill Burr.

He's the best comedian working today, but he's a Vandy fan. His wife is from Huntsville. This is just for ratings.

In my opinion, Bill Burr is 100000000000000000x funnier than Nate Bargatze. But people do seem to love Nate.
