ESPN Analyst Tim Kurkjian Admits He Didn't Know if Kanye West Was a Man or a Woman

ESPN's Tim Kurkjian is really bad when it comes to music knowledge.

When DJ Khaled took the stage for the pre-game ahead of the season opener between the Chicago Cubs and the Miami Marlins, ESPN analyst Tim Kurkjian admitted he "wasn't sure who he was."

But that wasn't the only shocker in his reveals. Kurkjian also said he once didn't know Kanye West's gender. "This is really bad. For a very short time in my life, a short time, I wasn't sure if Kanye West was a man or a woman," he said. "That's how bad I am in music."

Kurkjian also shared that his misconceptions about Lynyrd Skynyrd and Jethro Tull. "I thought Lynyrd Skynyrd was a guy. I thought his name was Len. I didn't know it was a band," said the 61-year-old. "I thought Jethro Tull was a guy instead of a band." (Now we wonder what he thinks of Migos.)

Although Kurkjian did participate in the moves to Khaled's "All the Way Up" during the performance, he says his lack of music knowledge doesn't stop his groove. "I've got great rhythm," he said. "I'm just saying I don't know anything about music."

Toward the beginning of the clip, Kurkjian admits he needs "to get out of the house a little bit more." But like his co-analyst, Karl Ravec, said maybe he just needs an updated playlist. Someone hook Kurkjian up with a few links! (And as for Ye, at least his hometown team won the game.)
