Big CatJoe Buck wasn't yet comfortable enough in his own skin in 2009 to handle the Artie Lange situation effectively
I think the premise or the reason that you were attracted to do that show was because you wanted to show people a different side of you, that you weren't that stuffy guy, that you had humor. But I don't think it was all the way there yet.

PFT CommenterThe Artie Lange incident is the reason we have the relationship with Joe Buck that we have today
If it wasn't for that Artie Lange show, I don't think that we would have the conversations that we have with Joe Buck.
Artie LangeBrett Favre and Chad Ochocinco were the real reasons 'Joe Buck Live' was a disaster because they were such bores
Now look, the real culprits to me are fucking Chad Ochocinco and Brett Favre. They were the first 45 minutes of an hour show... and they were bores. They're typical like Dennis Rodman type stuff where they think just because they have orange hair... they could sit there and they're young Albert Brooks on a talk show. They're just boring people.
Joe BuckIn hindsight, 'Joe Buck Live' was not a good match for the highbrow DNA of HBO Sports
I think now looking back – it was probably not a good match. I think they hold HBO Sports up... as kind of this cherished thing... journalistically sound... and I just never wanted to kind of do that. I also wanted to have fun. I'm the last guy to take myself seriously.
