Chesney on ESPN Twice This Weekend

by Josh | 02.04.2010 | Posted In: Sports, Television

We already told you that Kenny Chesney will be on ESPN’s Mike & Mike show Friday morning, and it turns out that won’t be the only ESPN program he’ll appear on this weekend.

Look for Kenny on NFL Countdown on Sunday at 1 pm where he’ll talk about the game and his buddies Sean Payton and Peyton Manning.

“It’s not like I’m the definitive voice or anything,” Chesney says of the two stops on ESPN, “but I do think I represent the definitive football fan. Me and the guys watch these games, live and die over who’s playing who all season when we’re closing out the tour – and this is, obviously, the biggest game of the year. So I love that Golic and Greenberg want me on their show.”

“As for ‘NFL Countdown,’ well, that’s like doing the Grammys for football. That’s about the best analysis there is, and I’m looking forward to being part of their coverage.”

No Shoes Radio has been broadcasting from Miami, but Chesney has yet to make it to town. He’s been working feverishly to get “Summer in 3D” completed.

“You’d never believe how much work goes into something like this,” he laughs. “But once you’re in, you can’t just stop. So as much as I wanted to be down at the pool with Uncle Kracker, I’ve been in an edit bay, cutting film, changing shots – cause when the wheels go up tonight for Miami, I wanna be able to just forget about everything and enjoy some football!”

“I know this year’s Super Bowl is gonna be a great game. I’m not gonna bet on it, but I wouldn’t want to… and that’s half the fun of it! So I’m gonna get up early Friday, go hang with Mike & Mike and then have so much fun I’m gonna be ready to get back to work on the film on Monday!”

Chesney on Mike & Mike Friday

The ESPN duo Mike & Mike (Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg) revealed on Twitter tonight that Kenny Chesney will join them on set in Miami this Friday:

Chesney is a favorite of Mike & Mike. He joined them last April when the tour launched in Uncasville, CT (near ESPN’s headquarters).

So Kenny will be in Miami on Friday, but will he be in town before that for the Hooters Super Pool Party where No Shoes Radio will be broadcasting from Feb. 2nd-4th? Only time will tell.

Chesney Reference on Saturday Night Live

by Josh | 11.15.2009 | Posted In: Television

In the opening skit of Saturday Night Live tonight, Joe Biden (played by Jason Sudeikis) was giving an address from the Oval Office and made a random Kenny Chesney reference.

Biden said that he would get health care passed while the President was gone. To get bipartisan support, the first Republican to cross the aisle and support the bill would be allowed to add a provision to the bill… any provision:

“It could be whatever you want. You want a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage? That’s fine. Maybe a national holiday for Kenny Chesney? Or a law that makes it illegal to be Nancy Pelosi? Whatever.”
