Randy Moss made his triumphant return to the television airwaves on Super Bowl Sunday.
Moss hadn't appeared on ESPN's since Dec. 6 due to his recovery from bile duct cancer. And to mark his first show back, his ESPN colleagues surprised him with a special tribute video featuring cameos from Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, Justin Jefferson and Kevin Garnett.
"Y'all already know it's the big cry baby here, man. Hey y'all, I can't do it alone," Moss said while wiping the tears on his face. "And I really thank y'all. … Guys, it's been hard, but I've got a lot of love and a lot of people believing in me."
Moss then jokingly scolded his ESPN colleagues for making him cry on the show.
"[Mike Greenberg]—I said don't do it again," Moss said with a smile. "Let's get this show started!"
Back in early December, Moss stepped away from his role on ESPN's to deal with what he described as a "personal health challenge." About one week later, Moss revealed that cancer was found between his pancreas and liver, and he underwent a six-hour surgery to remove it.
Moss announced Dec. 13 on Instagram Live that he had chemotherapy and radiation treatments ahead of him. He also launched a website—RandyMoss.com—to raise money to fight cancer.
Moss, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2018, has appeared on ESPN as an NFL analyst since 2016.
