TERRY Bradshaw left his Fox NFL Sunday co-stars in disbelief after admitting he had ‘no idea’ who an artist was.
Bradshaw, 76, left Howie Long, 64, despairing with his head in his hands and in fits of laughter.

AFPDiplo helped open the Fox NFL Sunday show to begin Week 4[/caption]
The pair were joined by host Curt Menefee, Michael Strahan and Rob Gronkowski for Fox NFL Sunday.
The group kicked off Week 4 in the 2024 NFL season and looked ahead to the games on the schedule for the day.
The show’s intro this week was performed by award-winning DJ and producer Diplo.
Host Menefee explained that most stars who contribute to the show’s opening want to promote a new movie or TV show.
But he added that Diplo just wanted to promote a 5K run which he invited fans to join him on.
Bradshaw then asked his co-stars if anybody could run five kilometers.
Gronk looked on bemused while Long slumped to his desk with his head in his hands.
“Let’s run Diplo’s 5K, ” Gronk then urged the Fox panel.
Long then turned to Bradshaw and asked if he could pick Diplo out of a lineup.
And Bradshaw admitted, “I have no idea who that is.”
Host Menefee told Bradshaw, “He was just on the air 30 seconds ago.”
Strahan then promised to bring Bradshaw up to date on Diplo during a commercial break.
Sunday’s show also saw Gronkowski pranked by his co-stars.
In a short clip, the panel discuss a ‘Rich Russo’ starting for the Dallas Cowboys at tight end.
Jay Glazer claimed he had received a tip-off from Cowboys owner Jerry Jones that Russo will be playing.
The Tom Brady domino effect
Tom Brady will take his seat in Fox’s top NFL announce team alongside Kevin Burkhardt.
And his arrival at the network has set off a domino effect with every other announcer moving down one spot.
That means Fox’s NFL coverage in 2024 will feature entirely new broadcast pairings.
Greg Olsen, who previously worked alongside Burkhardt, will now be part of the No. 2 announce team with Joe Davis.
The other Fox pairings for 2024 are:
Adam Amin-Mark Sanchez
Kenny Albert-Jon Vilma
Kevin Kugler-Daryl Johnston
Chris Myers-Mark Schlereth
Strahan and Bradshaw made a case for his inclusion while Gronk nodded along.
The former tight end – who believed he was live on air – was eventually asked his thoughts.
“You know he’s been out for a little bit so he might be a little rusty coming back,” Gronk concluded.
“But I think they’re going to give him the opportunities, that’s for sure.”
The segment then fell apart when Gronk realized he had been tricked.
“I learnt two things about myself from that clip,” Gronk laughed as he recalled the incident on Sunday’s show.
“One, that I am a funny guy. Two, that I am always ready,” he laughed.
