One of the most memorable ads for ESPN’s SportsCenter depicted its 59 year-old reporter John Clayton as a closeted Slayer fan relaxing in his bedroom when he’s not on the network. Everyone had a good laugh about it, then forgot about it and moved on, right? Wrong! A sports writer hung out at Clayton at a Slayer show, presumably in Seattle this past Friday (1), and snapped a picture of Clayton with the band’s Kerry King and Gary Holt (PS, way to represent Exodus, Gary!). Is Clayton really a fan, or just too smart to pass up the perfect photo op? We’ll have to see if he responds further. Check out the video below.
