On Saturday Morning, an era will officially come to an end as Lee Corso joins the College GameDay crew for one final show. In 1987, ESPN hired Lee Corso as one of the hosts of its new College GameDay show and 38 years later, he remains the pillar of the show he helped turn into an institution. Along the way new faces have come and gone but, on Saturday Morning's you could always count on Lee Corso breaking down the games and making you laugh several times.
The show truly took off when the GameDay Crew started to go on the road visiting the campus of one of the most important games of the week. The show is most known for Lee Corso's head gear pick as he'd either become a hero to the home crowd picking their team or he'd turn heel and turn an entire crowd against him.

Where is ESPN's College GameDay for Week 1?
The first College GameDay show of the 2025 season will be live from Columbus, Ohio as the top ranked Texas Longhorns face off against the defending National Champion Ohio State Buckeyes.
