Boomer Esiason Draws Criticism for On-Air 'Vagisil' Quip About Yankees Broadcaster Suzyn Waldman

The remark prompted condemnation and renewed scrutiny of WFAN’s treatment of the veteran Yankees radio voice.

Overview

  • On WFAN’s morning show, Esiason cited Dave SimsDude Wipes promo before joking that Suzyn Waldman could endorse Vagisil while laughing on air.
  • A clip of the exchange spread widely on X, where journalists and media figures denounced the comment as disrespectful or misogynistic.
  • Coverage notes the episode as part of a recurring pattern of WFAN personalities targeting Waldman, including past unflattering impressions by Craig Carton.
  • Fox News Digital reported that WFAN parent Audacy did not immediately respond to a request for comment and that Waldman’s representatives could not be reached.
  • Esiason also drew attention earlier this season for criticizing Sims over an early-season absence, adding to scrutiny of his commentary on the Yankees booth.
