Comedian Shane Gillis was picked to be a special guest on the College Game Day apart from actor Timothee Chalamet. While the former is widely known for his support of Notre Dame, the latter’s inclusion was a surprise to all. Subsequently, the entire football world was left divided by his ‘ball knowledge’. However, Gillis had something to say about that.

Shane Gillis made an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show on Monday and talked about many things life and career. The panel started by mentioning SNL’s recent decision to fire the comedian which sparked immense chaos on the internet. Having said that, one of the guys revealed that Timothee Chalamet will be joining the Live next week as a musical guest.

Surprised at the information, McAfee praised him for the football knowledge that he displayed on the show as a College Game Day guest. On the subject, Gillis questioned if any of his picks actually won, later hilariously adding that he had sounded good regardless.

Did he get any of them right? I don’t think he got any of them right but he sounded good.

Shane Gillis joked

Timothee Chalamet’s inclusion surely sparked mixed reactions from the public. In their defense, the actor had never publicly presented an interest in the sport on the internet or otherwise. Notably, the Dune lead is off the radar and extremely private about his personal life and interests. Consequently, some claimed that Chalamet was there solely to promote his then-upcoming movie, making sense of his unknown connection to the sports world.

Regardless, the rest of the fans, the show hosts included, were in awe of Timothee Chalamet’s knowledge of the history of the teams. Additionally, he kept the stats off of his tips, shutting off the doubters. While his picks might not have been dominating, they sure were well-informed.
