About Dan Patrick (sportscaster)
Daniel Patrick Pugh, known professionally as Dan Patrick, is an American sportscaster, radio personality, and actor. He hosts The Dan Patrick Show broadcast on radio on Premiere Networks and streaming on Peacock. He co-hosted NBC's Football Night in America and served as a senior writer for Sports Illustrated. He worked at ESPN for 18 years, where he often anchored the weeknight and Sunday 11 p.m. edition of SportsCenter. He is unrelated to Bill Patrick, who he often worked with on SportsCenter. He is also the host of the podcast "Dan Patrick Takes a Gamble", about sports wagering. Patrick is often critical of current ESPN shows and personalities (such as SportsNation, SportsCenter, First Take and former ESPN host Colin Cowherd) for stealing content from his show. This was strategically evident when Van Pelt's first in-studio interview was Patrick. The Dan Patrick Show became the first show to premiere on the Audience Network, DirecTV's rebranded version of The 101 Network on DirecTV channel 239 on June 1, 2011, where it aired until February 2020.
