Jersey Jerry took home his third straight “Lib of the Year” trophy at Barstool Sports’ Takies — but it was the surprise presenters who stole the show.
The video posted to X by Barstool Sports, showed Hunter Biden and his father, former president Joe Biden, presenting Jersey Jerry with the Takies’ “Lib of the Year” award. Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy shared a clip of the moment on X on Friday, July 24, captioning it, “I gasped.”
The “Lib of the Year” award is presented each year during the Takies, a spoof awards show featured on Pardon My Take, Barstool Sports’ flagship comedy podcast hosted by Dan “Big Cat” Katz and PFT Commenter. The joke is that Jersey Jerry is openly conservative, making his repeated wins as the show’s “top liberal” intentionally ironic.
Jersey Jerry, whose real name is Gerard Gilfone, is a former union pipefitter who became a Barstool Sports personality and hosts the Jerry After Dark YouTube channel. According to Sportskeeda, he went viral in 2025 after sinking a hole-in-one on a golf simulator following 2,627 attempts over more than 36 hours. He now cohosts Wake Up Barstool on FS1.
Last July, Democratic politician and former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg presented the award via recorded video. This year, that three-peat arrived courtesy of the Bidens.

In the clip, Hunter looked into the camera and said, “From one brother to another in recovery, congratulations on the Lib of the Year award, I know you didn’t have much competition but I’m still proud of you. We’re both proud of you.” He then panned the camera to show his father sitting beside him. “Hey Jerry, congratulations man and keep the faith,” Joe said.
Jersey Jerry appeared visibly stunned in his reaction to the honor. “That is history,” he said, adding, “The president knows who I am.”
He continued, “It started to hit me. I mean that’s kind of respect there. That’s big time. Alright, sleepy Joe, thank you brother.”
