Things I Hate About TV: Seeing Jared Fogle on the post-game show
You all know Jared Fogle. He's the guy who lost thirty kajillion
pounds by eating nothing but Subway sandwiches (veggie and turkey, of course... what, you think he lost weight on
foot-long chicken parm subs?) and has basically been the chain's spokesman ever since. He's been an inspiration to a
lot of people who are overweight. But, honestly, there are some places that I really don't want to see old Jared's
smiling face.One of them is on the post-game show after a thrilling NFL playoff game. Right after the Steelers stunned the Colts in a wild game, the CBS studio guys discussed the game and interviewed Steelers players. So far, so good. But then Greg Gumbel throws it over to Jared, dressed in a Colts jersey and surrounded by those flavorless Subway sandwiches. "I know you guys are going to Denver next week, and I wanted to send you off with some good food," is the gist of what Jared unconvincingly said to the studio crew as he waved his hand over the subs. Greeeaaat. Look, CBS, I know it's called the Subway Post-Game Show. But having Jared in the studio was completely tasteless and silly, especially after such an exciting playoff game. I mean, what's next? Is Boomer Esiason going to munch on Domino's Chicken Kickers during next week's pre-game show?
