Biden Surprise Presentation to Jersey Jerry

Former President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, made a surprise appearance to present Barstool Sports personality Jersey Jerry with the “Lib of the Year” award. This event took place during the annual “Pardon My Take” Takie Awards episode, where Jerry claimed the title for the third year in a row.

In a recorded video, Hunter Biden addressed Jerry, mentioning their shared journey of recovery. He congratulated him on his third consecutive win. The former president then appeared alongside his son to express their pride and encourage Jerry.

Hey, Jerry, from one brother in recovery to another, congratulations on the Lib of the Year award. I know you didn’t have much competition, but I’m still proud of you, Hunter said.

We were both proud of you. Hey, Jerry, congratulations. Keep the faith, Jerry. Congratulations, dude, Joe Biden added.

Jerry reacted with shock and amusement, processing the surprise appearance of a former president in the comedic sports award show. The presence of Joe Biden was framed in a historical context by “Pardon My Take” co-host Dan “Big Cat” Katz.

The online community had strong reactions to the video. Barstool founder Dave Portnoy commented on how unexpected Joe Biden’s participation was. Other personalities, such as Barstool media and culture personality “Jack Mac” and former NFL player Geoff Schwartz, also expressed their surprise.

The Takie Awards episode was extensive, featuring over 28 categories, including “Take of the Year” and “Blake of the Year.” In an earlier presentation, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg awarded Jerry his second title in 2025, praising Jerry’s evolving views on significant topics.
