"Von, after talking about being a big fan of Vanderbilt University's football team for a moment, seemed a bit thrown off that his segment was coming to a quick close. Oh, I'm already gone? will I ever see you again? Von asked. Nooo. I hope not, Sims responded, while appearing to wave Von off stage. Awww, Von could be heard groaning in the background, as the camera panned to the crowd in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where 16th-ranked Vanderbilt was set to play 10th-ranked University of Alabama."
"And interestingly, ESPN, on its official College GameDay channel on YouTube, appeared to censor it by cutting the moment Sims denied Von from a 14 minute video highlighting his appearance. Back on X, a number of users enjoyed mocking Von over it. Von did not run off to the library to cry about Sims, though. He joined the rest of the GameDay crew to tell some jokes and share which teams he thought would win on Saturday, since he was this week's celebrity guest picker."
ESPN host Jess Sims dismissed comedian Theo Von on College GameDay when Von asked if he would see her again and Sims replied, "Nooo. I hope not," while waving him off stage. The exchange occurred in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, ahead of Vanderbilt's game against Alabama and was clipped and shared on X by Awful Announcing. ESPN's College GameDay YouTube channel omitted the moment from a 14-minute highlight. Social users mocked Von, who nevertheless remained on set to make jokes and serve as the celebrity guest picker. Von hosts a popular podcast and has publicly criticized Israel in commentary on the Israel-Hamas war.
