If you are into Pat McAfee and also into Tulsa King, boy I am about to make your Super Bowl weekend even better.
Seen below, during an appearance on McAfee’s daily sports talk show on ESPN/YouTube, Hollywood power broker and TKO executive Ari Emanuel revealed that McAfee will make his acting debut on the fourth season of the hit Paramount+ show.
But he won’t just appear on one episode. Rather, McAfee will be in FOUR of them. (Yes, ALL CAPS).
After a third season of the Sylvester Stallone mob dramedy that felt like a series finale at the end, there’s no public word on what the the fourth season of the Taylor Sheridan created show will be about or what role McAfee is playing.
McAfee is also playing a drill instructor in The Mosquito Bowl, a project currently in post-production.
He recently took time off from his WWE announcing duties as he was getting burned out from that, his college football work with ESPN and balancing life with a young family that will grow bigger this year.
Emanuel’s TKO company (combining WWE, UFC, Professional Bull Riders and some other properties) is in deep with Paramount+ thanks to a $7.7 billion US media rights deal for UFC, a reported $100 million deal for Zuffa Boxing, and the continuation of a PBR deal as well.
Was that how McAfee got his role? While unconfirmed, it probably didn’t hurt.
The new season of Tulsa King could come out this year…or it might not. The last two seasons have kicked off in September.
