I reflect on my 30 years at ESPN and continue to count my blessings each time I walk on the 'College Gameday' set.

Lee Corso

I didn't have cable growing up. The only games I saw were the NBA on Sundays and the NBA Finals.

Harrison Barnes

I got fired - November 8, 1979. And all of a sudden, I got a call, two weeks later, about doing a game on ESPN. And I truly said - Scotty Connal, the head of ESPN production at the time, was the guy that called me - I said, 'Man, ESPN sounds like a disease. What is ESPN? I know nothing about it, never heard of it.'

Dick Vitale

In 1996, we go on the road and there would be a couple of hundred people around the desk. It just kept growing and growing. I think the year it changed was when Michael Vick was at Virginia Tech and Frank Beamer was the first coach to recognize the benefit of having College GameDay come to your campus.

Kirk Herbstreit

I never really saw [my father] at all when I was growing up.

Carrie Fisher

I thought I wanted to be on ESPN, but I didn't know what the heck it was. I knew it was sports television, but we didn't have it. We didn't really watch TV growing up.

Samantha Ponder

Growing up, I never saw Asian-Americans on TV at all.

Brenda Song

It'll be up to ESPN when I leave. And when ESPN says they're going to move in another direction, I'll say, 'Thank you very much. It's been a great run.' Because it has.

Lee Corso

Growing up, I never thought about becoming an actress because I never saw deaf people in TV or movies. I didn't think it was possible.

Millicent Simmonds

Growing up, I never saw images of trans people succeeding.

Trace Lysette

I never saw Black Santa growing up. I would have loved to.

Baron Davis

I knew what it was like growing up in a world where I never saw myself in anything.

Kelly Marie Tran

I've always loved comedy and growing up it was the comedies that I really responded to. So I don't know how it turned out that once I started acting that I started getting a certain kind of role, that I never saw myself as growing up, so I really love when I get an opportunity to play a [comedian] role.

Steve Buscemi

When I was growing up, I just saw my mother as a successful businesswoman and awesome mother, so I never really thought, 'I can't do it.' I saw how she worked hard, served clients really well, was a great mum to us.

Lynne Doughtie

When I was growing up, there were people of color onscreen, but I never saw interracial couples.

Isa Briones

You always think as an organization, obviously if you're in sports, you want to be with ESPN. ESPN is it. But you don't really realize how good ESPN is and how big their platform really is until you're in it.

Dana White
