While some of Danica Patrick's jokes fall flat she does not hesitate to put herself online. with his hosting performance ESPY Associated Press
The ESPY Awards have grown in stature and maturity throughout the 25 years that honors have been awarded in the world of sport.
The current show has taken the patina It has even been broadcast on ABC, unlike ESPN, which was his home for many years.
However, the combination of high-performance, high-impact sports with haute couture prizes and prestigious prizes leads to many funny and bizarre moments.
Start with Danica Patrick, the show's host and the first woman to take on the role. While she seemed relaxed and balanced throughout, the recently retired race car driver fell flat with a number of her jokes, and the public's reaction to her efforts was fairly unobtrusive.
Nobody expected Patrick to go on a rampage. Jimmy Kimmel, his opening joke about Jose Altuve of the Houston Astros did not bring home to Los Angeles. He set the tone for most of the low-pitched jokes that followed, including the one about the new Los Angeles Laker LeBron James and his delicate hair line.
Some of his subjects included the city of Cleveland, the inability of the United States to reach 2018 FIFA World Cup and New York Giants receptionist Odell Beckham Jr.

Producers of the show had to realize that the ODB deserved a lot of camera time. His hair was dyed in a slightly shocking shade of blonde, and he wore a suit that included shorts, dress shoes and no socks.
While many male athletes had a certain flair for their appearance, the star of the New York Giants quite weird. Steelers big receiver, Antonio Brown, also had the short-suit combination, and it felt almost as strange as Beckham's. T The view of the weird outfit will stay in the memory for a while.
While Patrick was largely shot on Twitter by viewers who seemed happy to get rid of several critics at his expense, she was not afraid to get to the front and center. She was the star of a skit entitled "Me, Danica", in which she performed a character based on I, Tonya the film released last year on figure skater Tonya Harding .
Patrick played herself and her mother in the spoof, and she deserves high marks for her guts otherwise her acting ability. Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Patrick's boyfriend, played with Harding's husband, Jeff Gillooly, and handled the task relatively easily

Patrick also disguised Daenerys Targaryen of Game of Thrones and joked that the piece was cut because it was was late in the show. At that time, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, basketball star of the Hall of Fame, rose up in protest as he was dressed in a costume Game of Thrones
The rapper skills in another segment that had a really weird side.
As the awards were presented, almost all winners were on hand to personally accept them, including the US Women's Olympic Team, the winners of the Year Game. Other top winners include Houston Astros World Series champion, Philadelphia Flyers quarterback Nick Foles in the best league title and Chloe Kim for the best female athlete.
In a rather big surprise, NHL superstar Alex Ovechkin of the Stanley Cup Capitals, the Washington Capitals won the best male athlete, but he was not there to receive the award. This honor was presented by Kate Beckinsale, and the English actress awkwardly accepted the award on her behalf. She explained that Ovechkin was in Russia with his wife, "eight and a half months pregnant".
