Despite initial reports to the contrary, Buccigross was not included in a mass layoff of on-air ESPN employees that included most of the network's hockey staff in April 2017; his contract nonetheless expires in summer of that year and it has not been announced whether it will be renewed. He lives in Ellington, Connecticut.
During the 2012 NHL Playoffs, John Buccigross hosted the #Bucciovertimechallenge on Twitter, asking users to guess the player (one for each team) who would score the game-winning goal for every overtime game throughout the course of the playoffs. The game is still active as of 2017.
His relationship with his wife and the details about his marriage are not available to the public. There are rumors that his wedding took place in Italian style. However, there is no proof to strengthen the rumor. He talks about his relationship with his game. He also talks about his children. While talking about his childhood, he talks about the way he was bullied and how he developed his mind to become a sportscaster.
Many personalities want to keep their personal affairs to themselves. This would avoid a lot of rumors and stories. John has not been linked with any girl in his work life. He also talks about how good his employers were in his pursuit of career. Both, John and Melissa were not married before.
Melissa is very inert to the media. She never shares the screen with her husband. Thus, it is not possible to know about their family life, from her point of view. Their children are also inert to the media. He does not reveal about his financial status either. There are no details about the net worth or his salary on the internet. He has not posted his pictures with Melissa online.
How he met Melissa and the details as to who proposed who are all not available to the media. He does not prefer to talk a lot about his personal issues. There are many fans who praise him for his keen observatory skills. He is one of the few original anchors in the media.
When he was very young, John had a tape recorder, which he used for recording his comments. This was his first stint at doing a career into sports. He used to mute the TV and take in his tape recorder about the show. There were not many controversies between John and other colleagues. Once, John Calipari called John, a jagoff. There were no details as why he was called so and what a jagoff means.
There were also a few rumors that he is about to get separated from Melissa and that’s why he prefers not to talk a lot about her. However, there are no proofs to indicate the credibility of the rumor. There were no comments from John or his circle about the rumor. The rumor then died soon. It is said that he has a very good relationship with his Greek brother-in-law.
