Pat McAfee adds a lot of quality to his consistent presence in WWE programming. His confidence and charm on the commentary table have brought him on the good graces of the wrestling faithful. Folks have adored his personality so much that he has done work outside of WWE, including starting the Pat McAfee Show on Disney/ESPN where he interviews notable people. He recently interviewed several Navy personnel as a part of a diverse discussion and everything was going fine until a certain moment. The broadcast concluded abruptly when the disrupting noise that typically plays when Uncle Howdy interrupts proceedings played out.
