IShowSpeed being denied entry in the studio

Speed was denied entry into the studio a day before the live program. However, the hosts of CBS Sports called the studio to inform them that Thierry Henry had invited IShowSpeed and demanded justification from Micah Richards about the chaos.

To which the latter replied, "I didn't know he was coming yesterday, I did not know. I mean, the legend that he is IShowSpeed, couldn't get through the doors. Rejection, pain!" Nonetheless, the show was a success.
