Katy Perry sitting next to Lee Corso on the College Game Day set on ESPN. In America, anything is truly possible.

ESPN’s College GameDay was at Ole Miss today, and so was Katie Perry:

Many of ESPN’s College GameDay faithful weren’t impressed:

Katy Perry guest picking on Gameday embodies everything I hate about ESPN.

— Eric (@rugggggg) October 4, 2014

Dear espn, I don't care who Katy Perry picked to win this game. Katy Perry picked Russell Brand.

— Matt Van Dine (@ScrewstonAg) October 4, 2014

ESPN announcers talking about Katy Perry is as awkward as your dad talking about the Sports Illustrated swim suit edition.

— Brother Rick (@RickMuscles) October 4, 2014

Katy Perry please get off ESPN, you're making everyone uncomfortable.

ESPN Gameday lost some cool points bringing Katy Perry on set. Surprised she wasn't wearing her lame hipster headdress #realtalk

Someone get Katy Perry off ESPN #SaturdaySelections

— Yeff (@GerlicaJ10) October 4, 2014

Katy Perry looks absolutely stupid at #SaturdaySelections. Screw you, @espn. Between this and your @nhra coverage, why do you exist?

— Wade M (@kaleysdad) October 4, 2014

Hate that Katy Perry was the guest picker this morning. I think ESPN is losing sight of what they should be focused on, COVERING SPORTS!!!!

— Austin Solheim (@ajsolheim) October 4, 2014

Katy Perry being on college day game just strengthens why @espn is a joke

— Brett Krysan (@Earl_DaSquirrel) October 4, 2014

Please never let Katy Perry back on an ESPN set again. Thanks.

Why is Katy Perry on College GameDay looking like a pink big bird? Know your audience ESPN, it's not Katy Perry fans

— Brandon Hyer (@aHyerPower) October 4, 2014

Man, this Katy Perry hit on ESPN Gameday is absolutely brutal.

— Kendall Rogers (@KendallRogersPG) October 4, 2014

Did anyone else see Katy Perry on ESPN earlier for college game day? I like her but she was obnoxious #TeamTooMuch

— Kelsey (@KelseyHandler21) October 4, 2014

If you watched Katy Perry pick games based on helmet color, remember that ESPN suspended @BillSimmons for lack of journalistic integrity.

— Jared Carter (@JaredLCarter) October 4, 2014

Why the hell is Katy Perry the guest picker on #CollegeGameday. I wanna hear from someone who knows sports and football, not her #ESPN

— Chicks Love Me (@TheBroChad) October 4, 2014

Why the HELL is Katy Perry on #CollegeGameday ? Like ESPN what the hell? No don't get someone normal or someone who likes sports.

— Audra Smith (@AudraLSmith) October 4, 2014

Oh my God, @ESPN, how the HELL did you allow Katy Perry to be your celeb picker on Game Day? Seriously. Awful. #saturdayselections

— ksimonetti (@ksimonetti) October 4, 2014

Well now I know what Katy Perry looks like. Good grief, ESPN. Ridiculous. #joke

— Jag (@Bama1Jag) October 4, 2014

Dear @espn please get Katy Perry the hell up off Gameday.

— Thomas Lamey (@ThomasLamey1) October 4, 2014

ESPN did get some kudos for having Perry on GameDay:

Katy Perry is a terrible musician, but she's a great "personality". This is genuinely entertaining. Good call, ESPN.

— Poseur (@ATVSPoseur) October 4, 2014

ESPN should just sign Katy Perry to a full time analyst position. Not much football knowledge, never been to a game, but damn entertaining.

— Randy Janinda (@janinda) October 4, 2014

@espn having Katie perry on game day was brilliant! She is like a breath of fresh are and funny as hell.

— kathleen canizaro (@katcan717) October 4, 2014

Bottom line:

Katy Perry is throwing corndogs. And like it or not, based on Twitter attention, ESPN probably just had one of its best guest pickers ever.

— Geoff Grammer (@GeoffGrammer) October 4, 2014

"Why is Katy Perry" is now trending. This is how ESPN gets viewers. So, mission accomplished.

Can we just get back to the games now?
