However, Anik is not at all worried about that as he says he is entirely focused on his work of commentating. “I know that they’re only going to my camera if they don’t have anything good from Rogen or DC you know, now that we’re all together, maybe you’ll have some of those group shots again, but not even thinking about it, man, you know, super embarrassing for my family and my wife when they run those things back I look like a complete fucking a**hole.

Sorry. But no, I’m not thinking about that. I mean, there’s so much going on as you guys know with this broadcast eight hours on a headset, constant communication with the truck, half the time I’m calling a fight. I’m sitting on a promo car trying to get that in,” Anik added.

“So last thing I’m thinking about in a big moment is that it might be reproduced on camera, but I don’t know, maybe I’ll think about it tomorrow night. Now that now that you got me thinking about it,” Anik said, implying there won’t be much change in his behavior once the event gets going.

Jon Anik will be accompanied by Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier
