The 85-year-old Corso has joined the weekly college football pregame show virtually all season due to the pandemic, while his fellow co-hosts travel to the on-site locations. That means a three-person crew travels to Corso's home and stay at a nearby house to prepare set up the shots for his famous college picks, which included them having to deliver a realistic-looking fake elephant from Louisiana in honor of the Alabama Crimson Tide mascot. “The big thing is,” Corso tells The Washington post, “these guys are doing this, and it really makes me feel good because basically they’re doing it for me...First of all, it surprises me ESPN has kept me this long...About 10 years ago I had a stroke (in 2009). Couldn’t speak and everything. ESPN could have dumped me...They could have set up an easy one-person camera. They’ve gone all-out. They’ve made it into something. And it could have been nothing, except for me sitting in a room with a camera. That’s what everybody else does.”
