Theo Von was brutally rejected by ESPN host Jess Sims on Saturday after asking her out on live TV.
Von was on ESPN’s College GameDay as their guest picker when Sims signaled it was time for his next batch of predictions.
‘The guys are ready for your second round of picks, so go ahead, right up there, she said.’
Von, 45, then responded: ‘Oh, I’m already gone?’, to which Sims told him he was.
However, the comedian wasn’t too eager to walk away from Sims.
He asked: ‘Do I get to see you again?’, before the ESPN star, 37, gave him a brutal response.

Following the eye-raising incident, Von commented on social media: ‘shooters shoot’
‘No, I hope not,’ she shot back.
Von later responded to a video of the incident and wrote ‘shooters shoot’ with a shrugging emoji.
Sims, who has been with ESPN since 2022, also contributes to the network’s college basketball coverage.
And away from the Worldwide Leader, she is also known as a popular Peloton instructor.
The rejection for Von comes after he seemingly scored a date with the mom of Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia after their win over South Carolina.
Von was on the sideline for Vanderbilt’s 31-7 win over South Carolina on September 13 – and revealed to ESPN that Pavia had offered up a date with his mom if the Commodores won the game.
‘The way I understand the story is that – maybe just give me a nod if this is OK,’ sideline reporter Cole Cubelic began to Von. ‘Diego Pavia wins this game, he promised you he would set you up with a date with his mom.’

Von then confirmed the strange arrangement as he nodded his head.
‘My goal is, I would like to marry a nurse one day, so that’s why I think he was thinking about that,’ Von said.
Pavia tossed ultimately tossed 177 yards and two touchdowns as Vanderbilt won, with Von taking a victory lap online.
‘where should i take her??,’ he wrote.
