On Wednesday night, Danica Patrick hosted the ESPYs – ESPN’s annual awards show that honors the athletes from the previous year. Patrick opened with a lengthy monologue that included a few hilarious moments.
However, it also featured a few spectacularly awkward ones. The moment that comes to mind was Patrick’s joke about a balding LeBron James.
Now, the King is fresh off his decision to join the Los Angeles Lakers and is one of the most-beloved athletes in the world. Making a joke about his receding hairline didn’t make for great television.
Patrick delivered the line to deaf ears. Check it out.

Ouch.
Not every joke has an audience – Patrick found that out the hard way on Wednesday night. It’s not all bad, though.
Tune into ABC to see the final hour of the ESPYs.
