Pat McAfee to Appear in Paramount+ Series
Former NFL kicker turned sports media personality, Pat McAfee, is making waves in the entertainment industry with news of his upcoming acting roles. According to Bloomberg, McAfee has caught the attention of Ari Emanuel, the mastermind behind TKO Group Holdings, which owns WWE and UFC. Emanuel, who manages high-profile clients like Larry David and Seth MacFarlane, has McAfee on his radar for various acting gigs, including a prominent role in an upcoming Paramount+ series.
Fans can look forward to seeing McAfee in the fourth season of “Tulsa King,” alongside Sylvester Stallone, where he will have a four-episode arc. Additionally, McAfee is set to star in Peter Berg’s new film, “The Mosquito Bowl,” a sports drama inspired by author Buzz Bissinger, known for his work on “Friday Night Lights.”
While McAfee has been a fixture on WWE’s announce team for the past four years, he took a hiatus from the company’s programming in June to focus on his podcast, “The Pat McAfee Show,” and college football coverage. Despite his absence, McAfee has made appearances at the last four WrestleMania events, sparking speculation that he may return to commentary duties for WWE’s biggest show of the year.
