“NBC Sports Live Extra is pleased to expand its offerings beyond live events to original programming, and The Dan Patrick Show, which anchors the NBCSN morning block, is the perfect show to launch this new initiative,” said Rick Cordella, SVP & GM, Digital Media, NBC Sports Group. “Sports fans can now watch the interviews, commentary and shenanigans of Dan and The Danettes wherever they go.”

Next we come to your town to perform the show with the local theatre group and then we just go door to door in your neighborhood. Your resistance is futile.”
