Live TV Love Rejected: Theo Von's Bold Move on ESPN Ends in Tears
COMEDIAN THEO VON'S DATE NIGHT DISASTER: ESPN HOST JESS SIMS BRUTALLY REJECTS HIM ON LIVE TV
The tables have turned for comedian Theo Von, who thought he had scored big time with two separate women in recent weeks. However, his luck ran out on Saturday when he was brutally rejected by ESPN host Jess Sims on live TV.
Von, 45, was a guest picker on ESPN's College GameDay, sharing his predictions for the upcoming games. But things took a turn for the worse when Sims, 37, signaled it was time to move on from Von's picks. "The guys are ready for your second round of picks, so go ahead, right up there," she said with a sly smile.
But Von wasn't ready to let go just yet. He asked Sims if he could see her again, and the usually composed host showed a rare glimpse of her sharp wit. "No, I hope not," she shot back, leaving Von looking crestfallen.
The comedian later took to social media to downplay the rejection, writing "shooters shoot" with a shrugging emoji. But we can't help but wonder what went wrong in his quest for love. Was it his cheesy one-liners or his questionable fashion sense?
Von's dating life has been making headlines lately, and this latest rejection comes after he seemingly scored a date with the mom of Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia. Yes, you read that right – a date arranged by a college football player! It all started when Von revealed to ESPN sideline reporter Cole Cubelic that Pavia had promised him a date with his mom if Vanderbilt won their game against South Carolina.
Pavia ultimately delivered on his promise, tossing two touchdowns and leading the Commodores to a 31-7 win. But what happened next is anyone's guess. Did Von take his new "friend" out for dinner? Or did he try to impress her with his stand-up comedy routine?
In an interview after the game, Von opened up about his dating aspirations. "My goal is to marry a nurse one day," he revealed, leaving many wondering if this was just another one of his humorous comments or if he's genuinely looking for love.
As for Jess Sims, she's been making waves in the sports world since joining ESPN in 2022. Not only does she cover college basketball, but she's also a popular Peloton instructor. It looks like Sims is not interested in Von's brand of humor – at least, not when it comes to romance.
The question on everyone's mind now is: what will be the next move for Von? Will he try his luck with another sports host or stick to making people laugh as a stand-up comedian? One thing's for sure – this comedian won't be giving up on love anytime soon!
