THE HOSTS
Sal Iacono
“Cousin” Sal Iacono has become a fixture on the sports gambling scene as one of the hosts of Fox Sports, “Fox Bet Live”, formerly known as “Lock It in.” For over a decade, during the football season, he has appeared weekly on Bill Simmons’ Bill Simmons Podcast for their beloved “Guess the Lines” show. Iacono was also a writer and performer on Jimmy Kimmel Live since its launch in 2003. He frequently still appears on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and is featured in a popular weekly gambling and comedy feature before “Fox NFL Thursday Night Football” games. Before all of this he was somehow a practicing attorney in New York which everyone agrees now was a gigantic mistake.
Rachel Bonnetta
