ESPN’s broadcast team of Joe Tessitore and Jesse Palmer showed off their versatility on Saturday afternoon during their call of the Ole Miss-Tulane College Football Playoff first-round game.
Because, really, you never know when a camera is going to catch someone who looks just like a famous movie star around Christmas time. That’s what happened in the crowd in Oxford when a young man dressed as an elf looked a whole lot like actor Will Ferrell, who just happened to have starred in the movie Elf back in 2003.
“Listen, it’s 1 thing to wear the Elf outfit. It’s another thing to pretty much look like Will Ferrell, Jesse,” Tessitore said to his broadcast partner.
The Rebels had a 17-3 lead late in the 1st half when the ESPN cameras locked in on the man in the crowd who was seriously doing his best Ferrell impression. Whether the man was even born yet when Elf came out 22 years ago is another question entirely, and if he wasn’t born yet then he would get extra points for the costume and the look.

But this at least provided a little comedic moment for the fans seated around the Ferrell look-a-like and for the viewers at home.
Then it was back to football.
