what happened to lee corso

Lee Corso is a long-time ESPN analyst and co-host of College GameDay. He suffered a stroke in 2009 that impacted his speech and left him partially paralyzed. Since then, his appearances on the show are scripted, with Corso memorizing a script that he and an assistant prepare at the start of each week. He missed five episodes of the show last year due to an unspecified illness. Kirk Herbstreit, Corsos co-host on College GameDay, addressed Corsos health in August 2023, stating that Corso is doing well. Corso, who is 88 years old, will be returning to his full-time role on the show, making headgear picks and providing analysis of the games ahead.
