Quote from HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg:

"He wasn't who we thought he was," Greenburg said. "We thought we were
going to have an entertaining and kind of comical look at sports and
celebrity -- but we didn't expect the guy to hijack the segment for
his own personal gain."

Did they think they were getting Frank Caliendo? It looks more like
HBO needed to do its research before bringing Lange on.
