Joe Buck Tackles GMA and NFL in One Day: An All-Star Monday Marathon

ESPN sports personality Joe Buck is set for a rather busy day next week, which will see him guest anchor Good Morning America before calling the Monday Night Football matchup.

What's Happening:

• On Monday, December 1st, Joe Buck will experience a unique and busy day in his broadcasting career.
• Buck will start the morning in New York City, where he is scheduled to appear as a guest anchor on ABC's Good Morning America, airing live at 7 a.m. ET.
• After finishing in New York, he will travel to Foxboro, Massachusetts to call the Monday Night Football matchup between the New York Giants and the New England Patriots.
• He will work with his regular broadcast partner Troy Aikman for the game, while Lisa Salters and Laura Rutledge will also be part of the broadcast team.
• The game will air at 8 p.m. on ESPN, ESPN2, and NFL+.

What They're Saying:

• Burke Magnus, ESPN President of Content: “Joe, together with Troy, Lisa, Laura, and our entire team, has elevated our Monday Night Football presentation. Joe’s impact on The Walt Disney Company goes well beyond the broadcast booth—he has been a tremendous ambassador for ESPN, and we continue to find new ways to leverage his talent across the company.”
• Joe Buck: “The GMA team welcoming me back is easily the biggest surprise of the day. Experiencing that routine just a few times a year reminds me why sports will always be my main job. I appreciate GMA letting me be a small part of the show again—and a salute to our Monday Night Football team who are the real stars of our production holding down the fort in Foxboro.”
