Joe later applied that comedic creativity to the world of Olympic sport, including this snowboarding heat.

We hate to boast, but we’ve perfected our knuckle of moose thanks to that video.
We’re happy to report that he’s been back in the commentary box, but this time he’s turned his attention – and talents – to a classic Olga Korbut routine.

Since we all need every positive message we can get, here’s one Joe shared at the end of his recent stint in panto – and every night during the run.
I’ve spent the past month playing The Good Fairy.
I always said the same thing at the end of the show.
This is me saying it for the last time.
A moment I won’t forget in a rush xx pic.twitter.com/0iAN5gWQQO— Joe Tracini (@joetracini) January 11, 2024
