The College Football MegaCast featuring Pat McAfee and his daily YouTube show’s cast debuted on ESPN2 over the weekend, and McAfee is looking forward to the next edition.
On his show Monday, McAfee told co-host AJ Hawk that he felt good about how the show went considering it was uncharted territory to be in.
“We had no idea how successful it would be,” McAfee said. “Like this is the first time we’re being judged in a different fashion. I don’t think we marketed it much, you know, because I don’t think we knew how it was gonna go.”
The alternate feed is being produced for ESPN by Omaha Productions, which is also responsible for the ManningCast which runs alongside the traditional Monday Night Football broadcast.
McAfee said this first show turned out to be a learning experience and that they started off on the right foot.
“I feel good going into the next one. I feel like we’ve learned from this first one,” he said. “We had no idea, it was very much of a roll of the dice. Going into the next one I think we’re gonna try and make it even grander and bigger, and I’m very excited for it.”
As for the style in which they covered the Clemson/NC State game, McAfee added that the giveaways and guest interactions added a lot of value.
“I think it’s the right way to watch a game, and to be honest I think it’s keeping us all invested as much and even more,” he said.
