A LIVE REJECTION She Did Him Dirty On Live TV! Theo Von Shoots His Shot At ESPN’s Jess Sims
In one of the most awkward — and hilarious — moments on live TV this year, comedian Theo Von tried his luck with ESPN host Jess Sims, and let’s just say… it didn’t go as planned. 😬
It all happened during a lighthearted pre-game segment on ESPN, where Theo was brought in as a guest to bring some humor and unpredictability to the broadcast. And oh boy, did he deliver — just not in the way anyone expected.
In the middle of discussing team stats and player performances, Theo turned to Jess with that signature smirk and said:
“Jess, if the home team loses tonight, maybe you can help me feel like a winner — how about dinner?”
The studio went dead silent for a beat… followed by an awkward chuckle from one of the analysts. Jess, keeping her cool like the pro she is, gave a small smile and hit back with:
“Theo, I’m here to cover the game, not play in it. Let’s stay focused.”
BRUH. 💀
The moment was instantly clipped and went viral across TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram Reels. Millions of views poured in within hours, with fans split right down the middle. Some thought it was a harmless, funny moment typical of Theo’s humor. Others called it unprofessional and tone-deaf.
Comments exploded:
🗣️ “She curved him with grace — that was smooth.”
😂 “Theo got humbled on national TV.”
👀 “Lowkey thought she was gonna say yes 😭”
💬 “This is why live TV is undefeated.”
Meanwhile, Theo’s fans launched the hashtag #LetTheoShootAgain, demanding a redemption arc. Sources say he tried to apologize backstage, but Jess reportedly wasn’t having it.
