Drubner Host Reel
This is what I look like and sound like and dislike when I’m hosting a thing.
FYI, I still need to add all the gold from ESPN Road Trip. Soon…

Bowl Championship Season is coming!
And while the BCS may be flawed.
The DCS most definitely is not.
The Drubner Cheerleader Series.
From all of us at ESPNU Road Trip.
To all of you. And only you.

Backstory: I’m the head writer of The ESPY Awards.
Story: Halfway through the 2008 ESPY Awards, EP Maura Mandt taps me on the shoulder and says, “Will Ferrell is in Justin Timberlake’s dressing room. Go help him write his thing.”
My first thought? Name-dropper!
(I know, I’m a dick, whatevs.)
So down I go, and there he is.
Tells me he wants to accept Tiger Woods’ award for Best Male Athlete as Tiger Woods.
I can dig it. Provided no makeup is involved. That shit’s not cool.
Turns out we’re on the same page.
We start throwing around ideas.
I like his. He likes mine.
SNL scribe supreme Steve Higgins enters and adds a few gems. As usual.
I leave, grab ESPY writer Bennett Webber, and together we type it up and punch it up.
25 minutes later, Will brings down the house.
Good times.
