ESPN just barely avoids disaster with dancing Lee Corso

It was almost a disastrous scene on ESPN when 89-year-old Lee Corso nearly fell on the set before Notre Dame defeated Penn State on Thursday.

The “College Football Gameday” analyst was doing “The Jig,” a folk dance synonymous with Irish culture, and was accompanied by the Notre Dame mascot.

Corso was doing the dance with the mascot, holding onto the mascot’s right arm with one bad step backward nearly resulting in the analyst falling over.

Luckily, the Leprechaun mascot saved the day by catching him and helping him regain balance.

Corso appeared to backstep into a set prop featuring Notre Dame’s helmet lined up next to Penn State’s.

The longtime ESPN personality has been with the network since the 1980s and typically does the jig when picking Notre Dame to win games.

Corso’s future with the network will be discussed this offseason, according to ESPN president of content Burke Magnus.

In a prior SI Media podcast with Jimmy Traina, Magnus said they would approach Corso after the season to decide how they will proceed.

“Listen, I think we’re going to do what we’ve done now for a couple of years running, which is we’re going to have a conversation with him after the season, see where things are,” Magnus said.

Notre Dame came away with a 27-24 victory over Penn State after quarterback Drew Allar threw a back-breaking interception in the final minute.

With a chance to drive down the field for a game-winning field goal, Allar threw the ball back across his body for an interception that would ultimately end the Nittany Lions’ season.

Notre Dame’s victory put them into the national title game, broadcasted again by ESPN, where they will face the winner of Ohio State vs. Texas.
