TSN’s Jay and Dan love chirping sideline reporter Matthew Scianitti
Have you met my friend Matt?
Every week, he puts on a nice suit, some Chucks, sometimes a water-resistant trench coat, maybe some type of Batman paraphernalia and diligently goes to work on CFL sidelines for TSN. One time he caught a pass during a game.
Another time he dropped one.
It may go back further than this, but I think (O’Leary’s theory) that this is what piqued Jay and Dan’s interest in their sideline reporter. Over the last year, they’ve jumped at the opportunity to insert him into their late night show. Examples? I have them.
In response to ESPN’s new show ‘High Noon,’ TSN has decided to produce its own next-gen PTI-type show with @TSNScianitti & @frank_seravalli. pic.twitter.com/v2GliFFT4y

Working non-stop for a month in Korea can take its toll on people, as Scianitti showed when he crashed a Jay and Dan show from the Olympics.
Fortunately, that minor international incident hasn’t lessened how much Jay and Dan enjoy shouting out the guy that they affectionately call Shooter.
