“Hi, I’m Johnny Knoxville and this is College GameDay.”
We might hear those words on Saturday as ESPN’s flagship college football show welcomes the “Jackass” star as its guest picker. Saturday’s show will emanate from Knoxville where No. 14 Tennessee will host No. 1 Texas at Neyland Stadium in an all-SEC matchup.
You can catch ESPN College GameDay LIVE on Saturday at 9am ET/6am PT on TSN4, TSN.ca and the TSN App.
The 55-year-old Knoxville was born and raised in the city and his hometown is the inspiration for his stage name. Born Philip Clapp, Knoxville adopted the name for his acting career. A lifelong Vols fan, Knoxville first attended a game at the age of 4.
Most famous for MTV’s Jackass prank show and its subsequent series of films, Knoxville currently hosts a reboot of Fear Factor.
United States president Donald Trump is also expected to attend Saturday’s game.
