Can someone cut Andy a break?
Executive producer of The Ellen DeGeneres Show and joke punching bag, Andy Lassner, was thrust into the crossfire of some playful wrestling with powerhouse Ronda Rousey.
Rousey, the self-proclaimed highest-paid athlete in the UFC and the first woman from the United States to win an Olympic medal in Judo, came onto the program ready for a little show and tell and was given a cage to demonstrate some of her moves. For Lassner, resistance was futile.
Tomorrow, Andy meets @RondaRousey. He also meets the floor. https://t.co/C7xEoGBWtI— Ellen DeGeneres (@TheEllenShow) September 13, 2015
Ellen often pulls the well-meaning producer into the throes of her on-show pranking (such as this sadistic little bit).
Another one bites the dust at the hands of the indefatigable Rousey. She will champion on. Meanwhile, Andy will continue to show up for work and just try to keep it together.
