Any debate that takes place on ESPN’s “College GameDay” is genuine and organic, not manufactured, for ratings, Kirk Herbstreit says.
The college football analyst, who recently appeared on the “Net Positive” podcast with comedian John Crist, made that point clear.
“One thing I do on my job is I don’t pretend how I feel about something,” Herbstreit said. “If you agree with me, then great, then we’re going to agree. But I’ve never ‘Hey, I’ll go this way, and you go that way, and we’ll create an argument, and it’ll be good for TV.’
“Once in a while, we’ll get sideways, but our show is more respectful. It’s not creating arguments or manufacturing anything. We love each other. We’ve been working a long time together. I think GameDay has a different vibe to it.”
