Fans Had So Many Jokes About A.J. Hawk Not Talking During ‘The Pat McAfee Show’

It often feels like he’s having a staring contest with the camera.

The Pat McAfee Show has been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons, thanks to New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. 

In case you missed it, Rodgers had another mind-boggling appearance on Tuesday’s show that led to lots of people calling him out over many things, including his comments about being canceled.

Fans have also been picking up on something much less serious from the show—A.J. Hawk staring into the camera for long periods at a time while not saying a word. It often feels like he’s having a staring contest with the camera. It just gets so awkward after a while, watching him sit there while Rodgers and McAfee go on and on with their mind-numbing conversations.

Social media had fun with Hawk:

Aaron Rodgers: My achilles was able to heal so quickly because I never wore a mask during the pandemic. The media is silencing me.

Pat McAfee: HAH yeah interesting!

It's very funny that the guy who stares at Pat McAfee is AJ Hawk. Every talk show host should have a former Ohio State star linebacker to stare at them. I'm sure Andy Katzenmoyer is free
