Actress Kaitlin Olson left the “College GameDay” panel stunned during her appearance as guest picker at her alma mater, Oregon, on Saturday.
“It’s Always Sunny In Philidelphia” star Olson was on set in Eugene to promote her new TV show “High Potential”, as well as give her verdict on the biggest game of the weekend, including the Ducks’ showdown with Ohio State at Autzen Stadium.
Donning a green Oregon quarter-zip, it was no surprise the 49-year-old Portland native picked the No. 2 Ducks to defeat No. 3 Ohio State. But panelists Rece Davis, Desmond Howard, Nick Saban and Pat McAfee were left reeling when she made a revealing admission about losing her virginity on the campus.

“Guys this is my college, this is my place, I love it here,” she said. “I went to college here, my family went to college here, I lost my virginity here. I’m sorry about that, Dad,
“My ID was taken away, my fake ID was taken away at Rennie’s [Bar]. Oregon Ducks all the way, Oregon all the way along.”
Olsen’s appearance capped what was an eventful edition of “GameDay”, with Pat McAfee leading a chorus of Lulu’s “Shout” before dawn in Eugene, leaving Davis and Kirk Herbstreit concerned for his safety as he climbed atop his spinning chair. McAfee repeated the skit at the end of the show, this time ripping his shirt off.
Herbstreit, meanwhile left the GameDay set early for the first time so he could catch a private jet to Dallas in time to be in the booth for the Red River Rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma at 3:30 p.m. ET.
A camera operator joined Herbstreit in a convertible Mercedes so he could remain on the broadcast, and he continued to contribute once his flight had taken off via a satellite link.
Olson enrolled at Oregon in 1993 and graduated four years later with a bachelor’s degree in theater arts, setting her on the path to her acting career.
She got her big break in the revered Larry David comedy series “Curb Your Enthusiasm” in 2000, appearing in seven episodes. Four years later, she was cast in a starring role in “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia”.
The sitcom was created by her future husband Rob McElhenney, appearing in all 16 series of the show to date. The pair started dating during the second series and got married in 2008 after keeping their relationship under wraps. They have two children together.
For those not clued up on “It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia”, McElhenney is perhaps more renowned for his ownership of Welsh soccer club Wrexham alongside Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds.
