Pat McAfee Becomes Mr. Friday Night... (MY FIRST NIGHT ON SMACKDOWN)

[@TimFolkman]

Following Pat's career is like watching a new version of Entourage. Vinny Chase and the boys always up to something, and nothing is more fun than rooting for them while having fun at the same time. Congrats.

[@KP-05]

Yooo major facts here. Just finished entourage today and this is on point. These guys are the real like version of the show lol

[@bigg_daddy_cool3527]

you put what i was thinking and feeling 100 in this comment. couldnt find the words best stuff i cant stop watching these guys.

[@emersontristen4080]

I know Im randomly asking but does someone know a method to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost the login password. I would love any assistance you can give me

[@popskya]

Love when Cole asks pat "so you read the show tonight?" Completely serious and worried Pat: "naaaahhhhh"

[@popskya]

When Cole talking to camera and says they can be next guerilla and Bobby...this was 10 seconds before Cole asked about him reading the show ....hahaha

Seeing Pat dap up Michael Cole and Triple H made me realize he's really living out every wrestling fan's dream.

[@codycameron5866]

Wasnt even like a just hey nice to meet you dap, those daps were full of love😂

[@albanks8843]

@@codycameron5866 well Pat already knew Triple H from nxt when he worked there for a bit as a pre show commentator and worked a storyline with Adam Cole

[@silenttoxic707]

Best part was Pat standing up while he was announcing. When pats out of his seat Pat is LOCKED in

[@schmattz7623]

The best part is that the Legend Pat McAfee stills knows where he came from and pulls over the sign some autographs. Legendary!

[@bryanclark9023]

Favourite moment: Seeing Pats eyes light up and smile whilst getting introduced as Cole’s co commentator, you can clearly see this is one of Pats childhood dreams! You smashed it man keep it up dude💪

[@zinny1222]

I love how Zito was a legend and set up the beach hause. Man is a true beast.

[@AaronGaley]

The clip when Vito ran underneath that canopy with the RV was so hilarious.

[@stanleyhudson8453]

“Pat McAfee... You’re hired!” From Vince gave me god damn goosebumps

[@Megascape543]

Dudes a legend. Both pat and vince

[@jgeorge2693]

Vince still has that growl

[@MGulash]

‘I said my leg felt great, actually thought I pulled my groin’ 😂🤣

[@JasonGrohoske]

Glad Cole asked you how you thought you did instead of calling you out for your mistakes. He builds you up instead of breaking you down. That's what legends do!

[@canadian__ninja]

Oh god telling him during a commercial break how much he was screwing up would be a catastrophic decision on Cole's part. Thats a sure fire way to crater someone's confidence,

[@MR-hc2jh]

Favorite part: First time "Mr Friday Night" came out and the look on Cole's face.

[@2Husky4Sandusky]

He made Cole break character which was hilarious

[@xthaking]

that bro handshake at 5:32 from Pat and HHH just says "I'm happy you're here! I'm happy to be here!"

[@boots2passes36]

"I'm sorry for lying; I thought I ripped my groin." LOLOLOL The amount of work you did to mislead and re-direct? Awesome. Honestly though, TRULY happy for ya brother, that you get to live out what you love to do! We're ALL here for it, and can't wait for the next one! Let's GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mattincalii]

favorite moment by far was seeing how absolutely exhausted zito was from getting the road studio up and running LOVE YEW ZEEET

[@chaseyankey4076]

Best Moment: The people holding "McAfee Please Stop " signs because that would 100% be me.

[@brysonxd]

I would steal your sign

[@sportsguypaul9496]

My favorite moment was the seamless transition you made at the beginning of smackdown when Cole introduced you. You went straight into about Roman and it made it feel natural and smooth as Roman made his entrance.

[@ThePatMcAfeeShow]

What Was Your Favorite Part Of Week 1!?!

[@willbreen586]

You almost pissing you’re pants 😂😂😂

[@PatrickMHoey]

Knowing Pat was up to somethin and finding out it was Friday Night Smack Dahn!

[@jacobburbo4479]

As with everything Pat does, no dull moments, but my favorite part was by far the most genuine moment when you can hear Michael Cole sayin I love you buddy. So cool to see there is a real friendship and mentor ship there, not just another stooge playin it up for the camera.

[@scrapdaddyap9853]

Bruh Bad bunny wasn't fired he wasn't even signed lol

[@static1217]

Michael Cole being pleasantly surprised abaht how professional Pat's outfit was

[@samuelmiller1700]

Favorite part... After the first night of his dream gig, he stopped to sign an autograph for someone outside. I bet that meant a lot to that person. Simple things make a huge impact. Kudos Pat!

[@Bomezy]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING THE WEEKLY RECAPS BACK

[@derekgray9774]

HHH and Pat's literally thunderous slap going in for the handshake is easily my favorite moment. The friendship is strong.

[@seanfinn9983]

Seeing him dap up Michael Cole and HHH. That’s hella surreal being an NFL and WWE mega fan.

[@samjakobi7433]

when Pat realized there are no bathroom breaks at all and the look of bewilderment on his face was awesome lol then right after that thinking how Foxy usually has to go when Pat has the daily show go longer than usual! shoutaahhhht to the team

[@samjakobi7433]

@The Pat McAfee Show this aint the real one lol

[@hohmanjm]

My favorite moment has to be you standing up on the on camera and the sort of “send it” moment you had when you didn’t know if you should sit or stand. It was so authentically you

[@Tubbs82]

The fact that Pat is a fan really comes through with his genuine excitement.

[@JBshaver7]

You make Smackdown so much better! Fav moment is you including all the boys in on the adventure and seeing it successfully happening!!!

[@mikemaddix9192]

I think my favorite moment/moments are simply seeing how genuinely excited/energized/happy/appreciative Pat is with this opportunity! You can see that it’s an honor for him. You can see he is a fan. Lots of hard work paying off for you pal! Well deserved. Cheers!

[@robvaca6847]

favorite part was you and Sami, get that man on the show, talk about his documentary. The world needs to know.

[@INCNetski]

Almost a year later, a historic career. One of the best color commentators of the day, match with Austin Theory, and Vince at Mania. Beer Bash with Steve Austin. Absolutely Phenomenal.

[@brandonobe3255]

Your humility to the fans is honestly the best part because these shows "stink!!!" Some of the best laughs I have during the week though. Keep it up.

[@SAABguyMD]

Great insight, Pat. Glad to see the crew bring it all together with you. Very cool getting a sneak behind the scenes on all the prep that goes in at the last minute too.

[@chrislarge7077]

Best part; Pat living his life to the fullest. It is a great thing to see someone killing it! Keep it up!

[@chrislarge7077]

@The Pat McAfee Show uhh ok

[@DonSuedabaker]

Love the “car talk” vibe. Maybe talk from the PJ next week?

[@kaigamingandshorts]

People says vince has no connection with the outside world maybe thats true but then again he hires guys like pat to get him updated which is actually a very sensible thing to do .

[@maxkoehler6317]

Love how Pat brings up all those around him and how those around him have a desire to be great, shows the attributes of a great leader!

[@bigg7g]

My favorite moment was finding out about Pat and the boys and how awesome an addition to my life they are. I’m older than Pat but I want to live that McAfee life! Love the team energy. Keep it up fellas!

[@horstschlemmer97]

There are many things I'm a bit jealous of watching this video, but being that good with Triple H is definitely the number 1. Great job Pat!!

[@shadow9137]

Favorite moment was seeing the genuine embrace between Pat and Michael Cole. That was awesome. Mad respect for living the dream. 90% Hustle 10% Grind

[@bigverb8744]

Favorite part is cole talking up Pat, you can tell how genuine he’s being. Gonna be honest not the biggest WWE can because I thought it was Mickey Mouse but after watching it and actually understanding what they’re trying to do makes it a lot more entertaining

[@michaelpadia9065]

My favorite part was seeing how welcoming everyone was towards you. The positive energy was flowing. The guy you're commentating besides said "Don't forget me when I retire." Apparently he holds you in high regard, as do we all Patty! Glad to see you're doing something that brings you happiness, and excelling at it and making it all the more enjoyable. One love.

[@advikvisentini134]

When Pat was screaming and standing up. I could totally tell he was into it! Love it keep up the great work!

[@bboc920]

The real reason pat made it on smack down. 5% nfl, 15% his personality, 10% the stooges that work with him, 70% his fans from the Pat McAfee show!!! So since he made it, we made it!!!!! Good luck at kicking us off this show we've made it to the big time boys!!!!!!!!

[@stopitnow5477]

My favorite part was when Michael said to him “stop looking like a slouched stooge and sit up” and when pat had to pee 😂😂

[@KhaotikJMK]

My favorite part: it’s your progression. I watched you in the NFL, and didn’t have a clue on who you were until you started tackling people. Then you moved on to Barstool, then the DAZN. Then I see you on NXT preshows, Wrestlemania preshows, phantom Smackdown commentary... (would’ve been at that Pelicans game had I not flew to Hawaii that week.) Then you’re actually PERFORMING on TakeOver which I watched while running on a track. Now we get a new radio partnership with MadDog, FanDuel & Roman sponsorships. Bravo Pat. Keep the business mind progressing forward and live your dreams. I’ll be rooting for ya.

[@freddyinferno2]

Favorite part was the little clip of you getting the Heyman talk backstage! Gives me chills knowing the effect his talks have had on superstars for years! LFG Pat!

[@ProLibertate187]

I would have to say the whole thing. As someone who struggles to see the joy in things, being able to watch you and the boys have a blast every weekday is awesome. For a specific moment it has to be the shots of Pat trying to figure out if he's standing, siting, or something in-between lol. Thanks again to Pat and the Boys for just having a blast, and allowing us on the bus for the ride.

[@urag3hard]

I love seeing you and Michael Cole hugging it out! Such a legendary moment, especially when he says don’t forget about me when I retire. THAT shows so much faith in you to be the voice of the brand going forward.

[@ryanreeves5441]

The best part is seeing you standing up at the commentary table and the excitement on your face. No one has ever done that before. Normally the commentators are just sitting there looking like a robot. Cole was right you are infectious. Keep up the good work buddy.

Why wouldn’t you be happy for his success...?😂 that’s a pretty stupid comment. And if you ever are upset over someone else’s success that’s a reflection on you, and the type of person you are.

[@mgrateful]

@@codyfullerton6382 your reply shows a lot more about you than who you replied too. There is a big difference between being genuinely happy for someone that you don't know personally over just saying cool, good for so and so. Everyone isn't at the same moment in their lives and you have no clue why the person you replied too said what they did. By your own argument why can't you be happy that someone was able to get to the point that they can genuinely revel in a person's success? Why try and tear it down and instead give kudos for that persons realization of their own growth. You are not a little hypocritical you are exactly what you tries to paint someone else as.

[@jeffhinton9257]

Growing up in Indiana being a Colts fan living in Florida the last 20 years and being a wrestling fan seeing you on Smackdown brings it full circle for me. You killed it Friday night your energy was great and I loved you standing up and calling a match. I’ve listened to every show since you started your crazy podcast in my book you are a legend! Thanks for being you and allowing the boys to be be them you all make me laugh my ass off every day. Keep on keeping on brother.

My favorite moment was you standing up. I don't remember seeing other commentator do that. It brings something new and fresh to the product, as long as WWE has been around that's hard to do. It also shows that you are genuinely excited and passionate to be doing it which I appreciate as a wrestling fan
