The face of Matt Walsh — dressed as a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) expert in new hit documentary “Am I Racist?” — appeared in the background of ESPN’s College GameDay on Saturday, thanks to some fans of the film.
In “Am I Racist?,” Walsh explores the monumental grift of DEI race hustlers by simply attending their events and speaking to them about their ideology — for a fee, of course. Walsh’s disguise is literally just a pair of skinny jeans and a man-bun.
“First I made a cameo on CNN and now ESPN,” Walsh commented, posting a picture of the photobomb. “I really appreciate the support and exposure from these mainstream outlets.”
Dressed as his DEI expert character, Walsh back in August crashed the Democratic National Convention (DNC), where he appeared in the background of CNN programming.

Walsh had some fun with the photobombing, too, writing, “Excuse me sir, do you have a minute to discuss your white privilege?”

The conservative also highlighted one of the unhinged responses to the humorous signs.
“Some student at College GameDay is holding up a cutout of Matt Walsh’s face from the ‘Am I Racist?’ movie poster,” one post said. “And I personally believe they don’t deserve football and should also be shot.”
Walsh reacted, “The reaction to some kids holding ‘Am I Racist?’ posters on College GameDay is about as reasonable and sane as you would expect.”

“Am I Racist?” debuted at number four at the box office alongside major Hollywood productions with much higher production and marketing budgets, The Daily Wire has highlighted. And the film currently has a 98% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes and is Certified Hot on the site’s popcorn meter, which means at least 500 of those reviews come from verified ticket purchasers.
Still, mainstream critics are refusing to review the film.
