Monica McNutt on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
with Jon Stewart on Monday night. Stewart, who recently returned to host the show once a week, was extremely complimentary of the ESPN personality who seemed to reach a new level of noteriety last week when sheWhile some people may have just discovered McNutt, who has been a steady prescence on ESPN's morning programs for a few years now, Stewart grew to appreciate her by listening to her call Knicks games on ESPN New York alongside Pat O'Keefe.
Stewart and McNutt also had an in-depth conversation about the increased attention around women's basketball, what Caitlin Clark deserves and the way the league and the people who now cover it, have reacted to her. While McNutt said that she was on the show because of Caitlin Clark, Stewart disagreed. "So I am going to tell you this," Stewart said. "The viral moment maybe brought you to some national attention. I have been loving what you do. You are such a good basketball analyst and announcer. I have been following you on the New York Knicks."
After shouting out play-by-play announcer Pat O'Keefe, Stewart continued to compliment McNutt. "Your voice, your knowledge, your passion has cut through it for me. It's very rare that I turn on the radio or hear a new voice and go, oh, that person, they can explain this to me. And you really do. You're wonderful. I mean that. Wholeheartedly. That's how you got here. By the way, I'd have had you on everyday during the playoffs.
It stands to reason that if Stewart was still hosting The Daily Show on a nightly basis, McNutt would have been someone Stewart would have wanted on the show, especially with the Knicks finally being good again. As it stands, McNutt gave a great interview so, much like with the Knicks, there's always next year.Stephen Douglas is a Senior Writer on the Breaking & Trending News Team at Sports Illustrated.
