ESPN analyst Desmond Howard made a controversial comment on the set of College GameDay on Saturday morning.

On the broadcast, shooting live from Disney World no less, Howard responded to a question from host Rece Davis about whether Michigan would finally beat Ohio State this season.

"Is Desmond Howard going to have to choke a b----?" the Michigan alum said with a laugh.

Howard referenced a sketch on "The Chappelle Show" featuring comedian Wayne Brady. He apologized later in the show for the remark.

"Earlier today in the show, I'm a big Wayne Brady fan, and I made a comment that was supposed to be taken as a joke. If I offended anybody, I apologize. We can move on with the show," Howard said.
