ESPN’s Ryan Clark Says He Wasn’t ‘on TV Naked’ During ‘Monday Night Football’ Pregame Show
ESPN’s Ryan Clark turned heads on Monday night while appearing as an analyst for the network ahead of the wild-card matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Speaking alongside Scott Van Pelt, Rex Ryan, and Marcus Spears, Clark offered his insight into the matchup while sporting an impressive red vest, with some viewers believing him to be shirtless underneath.
Fans and commentators alike jumped in on Clark’s look, doing a double-take to make sure he had a shirt on underneath his sharp jacket.
The conversation got so loud that Clark was eventually compelled to set the record straight.
Back on the set after the game, Clark insisted to SVP and viewers at home that yes, of course, he was wearing a shirt.
“I do have on a shirt guys,” Clark insisted. “I’m not on TV naked.”
Somehow, this isn’t the first NFL season that an ESPN pundit’s skin-toned attire decision has left viewers perplexed; last time around, Dan Orlovsky had to confirm that he was, in fact, wearing pants while calling a game.
Orlovsky is undoubtedly pleased to have some company in this select club at this time.
