Pat McAfee revealed on his official Twitter account that he has signed a deal with ESPN to bring The Pat McAfee Show to ESPN, ESPN+ and ESPN’s YouTube channel, noting that keeping the show on YouTube was a sticking point for him in the deal, as well as potential other deals.
McAfee noted that the show would remain the same, while he will retain creative freedom in regards to how the show is operated.
McAfee, who signed a multi-year extension with WWE in July 2022, but stepped away from his broadcasting duties due to his role on ESPN College Gameday, worked as a commentator at the 2023 WWE Royal Rumble and worked a match at the WrestleMania 39 Premium Live Event back in April, facing off against The Miz.
Hello beautiful people…
We appreciate and love you all.. together we've truly changed the game.
