Maggie Haskins didn't win ESPN's Dream Job. Mike Hall, her rumored romantic interest, did. (Maggie, that offer still stands -- girl's got crazy pen!) I'm kind of surprised by this. Of the final four, I ranked Mike third at best. Zachariah Selwyn had the best on-camera presence and overall style, and Aaron Levine knew his stuff and brought a certain understated professionalism to the desk. Mike was doofy and congenial, Dream Job's Clay Aiken, but he never impressed me, especially with his dismal performance in the various sports trivia competitions. Hell, even Maggie, while probably not quite ready for prime time, had certain ... intangibles that may have made her a more attractive candidate for employment. But Mike, after answering five laughable trivia questions then crapping out when they asked him something tough, is getting the $95 K paycheck, and I hope he earns it.
There was supposed to be a lot more to this. See, ESPN led me to believe that Hall would be co-hosting the eleven p.m. Eastern SportsCenter tonight. Not quite. It seems he gets a segment later on, but it's Stuart Scott and John Anderson for the lion's share. They're fine men, but I'm not particularly interested in wading through all the NBA highlights they have planned. So, no review of Mike Hall's first trip to the set. Maybe later, if TiVo's a pal. Sorry.
Posted by withers at March 29, 2004 11:12 PMI agree one hundred percent; Zach was the best, Aaron was the second best, and Mike Hall just plain flat did not deserve to win.
We all were shafted by how ESPN conducted the final two hours; they did not count the audience vote in the first hour (when they said all week they would, despite the fact that they'd counted it every other time before), and if they had, Aaron and Zach would have been tied for who got cut next.
Granted, it shouldn't have _been_ a tie; Hall got a fairly easy sports highlight to call, one that's receded enough in recent memory to not call attention to how other, real sports announcers called the highlight when it was really in progress. Zach got a fairly recent ('98?) highlight of the Bulls in the NBA championship; Hall got Kirk Gibson hitting his home run in the 80s. (I don't think Hall was even old enough to see the original home run as it happened, but whatever.)
I'm not thrilled by what ESPN did (in not counting the audience votes), and I believe we were denied the real winner -- Zach Selwyn -- because he was not allowed to take part in the final hour. (If Zach had been in that final hour, he would have won easily. And I bet he'd have answered one tough question, or at least tried, in that "play for your salary" nonsense later on.)
