Aaron Rodgers interview was ‘most awkward, horrible’ moment in show’s history: WFAN host
NY Post
WFAN’s “Boomer and Gio” does not have the same chemistry with Aaron Rodgers that Pat McAfee does.
Gregg Giannotti, who’s been doing the morning show with Boomer Esiason for seven years, called last year’s interview with Rodgers “the most awkward, horrible 18 minutes” in the show’s history.
“I’d rather you interview Aaron Rodgers than us after what happened last year,” Giannotti told Jon “Stugotz” Weiner, Esiason’s fill-in host for the week, on Wednesday.
“And I’m dead serious about that. I don’t need another crack at that. I’m fine. Honestly, you can have that, I don’t need to interview him again.”
Rodgers was on the “Boomer and Gio Show” on Aug. 15, 2023, and didn’t crack many smiles throughout the appearance, while also showing up late to the guest spot due to traffic.
“I don’t think he ever looked at us. Not one time … It was a combination of everything. It was him being upset, us freaking out when he wasn’t playing along,” Giannotti said. “The whole thing was just turds in a blender.”
