He wanted to go all … the … way?

Chris Berman, the longtime ESPN host known for his catchphrases, was the subject of a recent sexual harassment claim against ESPN that was settled, according to The Big Lead.

One-time ESPN makeup artist Sue Baumann alleged Berman made inappropriate comments and sent her inappropriate text messages going back to 2011. The sexual harassment claims stem from Baumann’s work with “Sunday NFL Countdown.”

“Our thorough investigation revealed the harassment claims had no merit,” ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz told the website. “We settled it solely to save a considerable amount of time and litigation costs.”

The Big Lead also reported Baumann revealed an extramarital affair with another “Sunday NFL Countdown” talking head, Hall of Fame wide receiver Cris Carter, to ESPN brass in 2013. Police were called twice to Baumann’s home that year. On one occasion, two private investigators visited the house, saying they were there on ESPN’s behalf and told Baumann’s husband to stop “calling and harassing an employee at ESPN” — i.e., Carter.

A source told the website Baumann’s husband alerted ESPN producers to the existence of the allegedly inappropriate texts from Berman.

Baumann was fired by the company that contracted to work for ESPN in the summer of 2015. Soon after, she leveled the harassment accusations.

The Post could not reach Berman, Baumann and Carter for comment.
