Dan Patrick
Dan Patrick, is a well-known Radio and Television host. For many years, he and Keith Olbermann were arguably ESPN's two most recognizable faces. Patrick used the catch phrase "Welcome to the big show" when Olbermann worked with him; when Olbermann left, Patrick said, "This isn't the big show anymore."
His career as a sportscaster has helped him become a sportswriter in ESPN The Magazine, and an actor. He participated in several television shows, as well as movies such as 1997's The Definite Maybe, 1998's BASEketball, and The Waterboy, all as himself. In 1999, he got his first major role, playing Mark
in Technowhere. He also had a cameo appearance in the 2005 remake of The Longest Yard with Adam Sandler and Chris Rock.
In 1994, when calling the highlights for a game in which Marv Albert described Sam Cassell as being "on fire", Dan Patrick said he was "el fuego", which he thought was Spanish for "on fire". A few months later, he received a letter from a Spanish teacher in Pennsylvania suggesting that he say that athletes are "en fuego" (on fire) rather than "el fuego" (the fire). Since then, Patrick has used "en fuego" on certain occasions when a player is said to be "on fire".
Currently, he is also the host of The Dan Patrick Show, which airs weekdays from 1pm-4pm on ESPN Radio.
