Both concepts feature auto racing superstar and Go Daddy Girl Danica Patrick, who ranked as 2008’s Most Searched Athlete on the Internet.1
“We have two options and they’re both absolutely… GoDaddy-esque,” said Go Daddy CEO and Founder Bob Parsons, on-set in Los Angeles yesterday. “They are fun, edgy and slightly inappropriate; surely network censors will have a sense of humor, people could use a good laugh these days.”
