April Fool’s Prank: ESPN Producers Sucker Show Host Michelle Beadle

ESPN’s Michelle Beadle is as gullible as she is beautiful, at least according to her producers, so they set her up for one of the day’s better “April Fools” pranks.
Under the impression that she was filming a clip where she would be “flying” into a stadium in a 3D movie, Beadle yelled her name and pretended to fly while running around in a spandex green suit. The producers even put green stickers on her face.
Only as she was telling the camera, “there is an awesome outtake of me in a green suit!” did she begin to realize that she had been set up. Shortly thereafter, she vowed to get revenge on the perpetrators.
“Know this,” she tweeted, “if u pull an April Fool’s joke that sends me into a panic in any way, retribution will be both severe and demonic. Noholdsbarred.”

Posted on April 2, 2012 at 7:33amI wonder who is more gullible, this blonde, who obviously participated in this knowing full-well that it was part of an April Fools advertisement, or the ESPN fans, who think she didn’t know a thing?

Posted on April 2, 2012 at 7:26ami like when people click on links that they know they’re not going to like and then complain about it. it’s like ordering from a menu, eating the entire order, and then saying they dont want to pay for it because it didn’t taste good. nowadays, billy goats have more common sense than some people. and a side note, i like to see funny articles on the blaze from time to time. good job blaze staffers.

Posted on April 2, 2012 at 6:43amOf course. Just because other people who understand what is currently going on in this country and choose not to freak out, lose their minds or become despondent and deathly serious manage to still enjoy their favorite sports they are stupid. Relax and get a life. Your, I am more serious about the collapse of this country then you are because I do not care about sports is way arrogant. I understand where this country is headed but I still enjoy life and will continue to even when the crap does hit the fan. Me being unhappy and depressed does nothing to change things. It is possible to know politics, history and economics yet still know sports. Relax!

Posted on April 2, 2012 at 12:05amPretty weak april fools joke honestly. You have your employees do idiotic skits every day, many that are much dumber and make the people in them look much sillier than this. Besides a boss telling an employee to do something, and then saying haha april fools you fell for it is about as moronic as is possible. It has nothing to do with her being gullible and everything to do with the fact that you‘re her boss and it’s her job to do what you tell her to.
