In November, FOX's Best Damn Sports Show Period kicked off a nationwide search for the Vegas Insider, a special correspondent selected to cover the Super Bowl and NBA All-Star game from Las Vegas as part of a 30-day contract with FOX Sports. Thousands of sports enthusiasts nationwide vied for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Some auditioned live on FOX affiliates in Las Vegas and Detroit while others got their shot through a grassroots effort that sent a branded Best Damn Van and street team armed with video cameras to the streets of New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. After narrowing the search to the top five contenders, Robert Walker, a sports fan from Chicago, was selected for this amazing opportunity and was off to Las Vegas. Robert's Super Bowl report showed him enjoying the game and other Las Vegas amenities including golf and dining. A similar segment on the NBA All-Star game captured Robert hobnobbing with celebrities and interviewing athletes on the red carpet at some of the city's hottest All-Star parties.

The Best Damn Sports Show Period had open casting calls to find their Vegas Insider. The BDSSP mobile studio was on tour in Las Vegas, Los Angeles and New York, allowing fans to audition for the Vegas Insider.
