Corso has been a star on College GameDay since 1987, providing his lively personality and sporting the headgear of teams he predicts to win in games.
Rumors circulated about his retirement after his absence on the college football season’s Week 0 preview show.
Corso then surprised fans by appearing on the Week 1 edition of College GameDay.
He has had a reduced role on the program from Weeks 1 to 3 alongside host Reece Davis, Kirk Herbstreit, Desmond Howard, Pat McAfee, and the iconic Alabama head coach and first-year analyst Nick Saban.
Don’t be surprised if Corso continues to be a fixture on the College GameDay – he has no plans of retiring.
In December of 2023, he told GQ, “I’m gonna be like that guy in Vaudeville.
“They hook him around the neck, and pull him off the stage as he keeps talking.”
Sadly, since he had a stroke in 2009, Corso has struggled with his speech on the show.
He continues to impress fans with his opinions and above all – his joy in working his job.
However, fans were left worried over Corso’s appearance last weekend.
Social media users shared their takes on Corso, saying ESPN wouldn’t
“I feel for Lee Corso. His age is really starting to show, but you know he lives and breathes College Gameday. I don’t envy the people who could make the decision for him should they choose to. I really don’t,” one commented.
“ESPN should not be trotting out Lee Corso out. It’s said,” another wrote.

“I feel terrible for saying Lee Corso needs to go from ‘GameDay’…he’s so likable and everyone likes him…but he needs to go,” a third commented.
Still, some fans believe Corso should continue working for the network.
“Corso can leave on his own terms. Leave him be,” one stated.
“Lee is a national treasure,” another said.
“Lee Corso is a real-life legend and should retire when he damn well pleases,” a third added.
As he inches closer to the age of 90, Corso will continue to amaze viewers with his energy each week on the popular show.
