Jesse Holley came out in Air Jordan XI Concords and a Late Night With Roy. Holley was true to himself. He did not try to emulate Stuart Scott (RIP), Kenny Smith or Bobby Frasor. Holley was himself and that was more than good enough.
He did a great job hosting Late Night With Roy.
I interviewed Holley several days ago. The interview was a lot of fun. Holley is not an individual who places himself on a pedestal. He is humble and down-to-earth, which makes ANY interview with him worthwhile and enjoyable.
He mentioned that no one gave him advice. Well, Holley did not need advice. He did a great job emceeing the event. Nothing cheesy or lame took place. Holley maintained a great deal of energy throughout the event.

Thank you @UNC_Basketball, thank you to the 18k fans (family) that came out, thank you to my lord and savior Jesus Christ.

In one part of Late Night With Roy, Holley shared how he entered a game and UNC head coach Roy Williams told him, “Whatever you do, DO NOT SHOOT THE BALL.” Holley must have taken this to heart because he did not shoot the ball during Late Night With Roy, either.
The statement that epitomized the entire evening is listed here:
"These aren't just Tar Heel fans, this is Tar Heel Family" - Jesse Holley

Statements like this embody why choosing a particular host has a great deal of importance. Someone who is familiar with the culture and of the University of North Carolina brings something special to the event; just like Holley did.
