On Thursday, Moose and Maggie’s Mystery Guest presented by Jersey Mike’s brought to WFAN’s 1 p.m. hour…a little Mrs. Doubtfire?
Indeed, Thursday’s Mystery Guest was one of the first to stump Moose and Maggie in quite a while, thanks to the accent he co-opted from Robin Williams’ iconic film nanny. When asked what his last social media post was, he answered “I’m not quite sure, dear,” in Euphegenia’s signature “muddled” accent (or so Pierce Brosnan’s character calls it in the film), and remained “in character” as Moose and Maggie asked him if he was a broadcaster, where he was based, and what network he worked for (with his answer of “it’s not a traditional network” bringing an incorrect guess from Maggie of DAZN).
Finally, an exasperated pair of hosts asked the guest to reveal himself as…
The Action Network's Darren Rovell!
“You could’ve kept us going for 15 minutes!” Moose exclaimed at the reveal, to which Rovell replied, “I didn’t realize it was only a minute you had to guess; I thought it was five or so, and so I went with the accent.”
An accent he kept while throwing out some Mrs. Doubtfire quotes for the hosts, before giving this one of his own when asked by Moose if he thinks there’s any chance football is played this year.
“College football has no chance; school presidents are all on their own with risk tolerances, and despite Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott’s quote that some teams could be in and some could be out, I just don’t see everyone getting on the same page to be able to have a season,” Rovell said. “As for the NFL, I think they’re either publicly or privately in denial. Like, now, you can’t exchange jerseys after the game? Really? You can breathe down each others’ necks for three hours, but jerseys is too far? That just goes to show you what’s going on here.”
Rovell then followed that up with a morbid thought:
“In general, we’re going to have to have some risk tolerance, but there’s a fine line: if one coach or player dies because of this, then you really wonder if it was worth it.”
