She similarly mocked his WFAN co-host Gregg Giannotti as Esiason’s “little laughing friend,” and Craig Carton is still waiting to hear the rebuttal. In the aftermath of Nolan’s scorn, Esiason has not been able to respond because he’s on vacation, with Carton now joking he’s only on vacation because he’s afraid of Katie Nolan. But when it comes to Katie Nolan, Giannotti has opted to plead the fifth.

While Carton noted he’s not close with Nolan, he admitted he’s a fan, even joining her on Garbage Time years ago.
