It’s only the first episode of College GameDay this season and the crew already has been forced to apologize for an off-the-cuff remark made on air.
While discussing the Ohio State-Michigan rivalry, Michigan alum Desmond Howard got a little bit too excited.

Howard was, of course, quoting Dave Chappelle’s classic Wayne Brady sketch from Chappelle’s Show.
Howard was forced to apologize for the remarks minutes later.
“Earlier today in the show, I’m a big Wayne Brady fan and I made a comment that was supposed to be taken as a joke,” Howard said. “If I offended anybody, I apologize. We can move on with the show.”
