Bryce Young's road back from the bench, and a wasps-or-bees tangent, on Pat McAfee's Tuesday

Kevin O'Connell, Rece Davis and two suspended referees also passed through the full broadcast, but the comments kept returning to the Panthers quarterback.

The Pat McAfee Show Live | Tuesday October 6th 2026

Bryce Young was not the Tuesday guest who drew the biggest crowd on his own. His interview, cut into a standalone clip titled "Bryce Young Breaks Down His Path From Being Benched To A Top QB In The World," had the smallest audience of the day's segments. In the comments under the full show, though, he is nearly the only subject.

The whole broadcast went up in one piece, as the channel does every weekday, and passed 400,000 views in its first nine hours. A full show here usually ends its entire first day closer to 130,000. The channel as a whole is running well above its usual daily pace.

The guest list explains part of it. Kevin O'Connell came on with his Vikings at 4-0, and one viewer credits Pat with getting real answers from a coach known for careful ones. Rece Davis, the host of College GameDay, brought his top 25 after Week 5. The most watched clip from the day was about the NFL suspending two referees after Week 4, the weekend one official was heard cursing at Trey McBride.

Young is the No. 1 pick of 2023 who was benched early in his second season, and the most liked comments say much the same thing about him: he is hard not to root for, even for a Falcons fan. The other thread is pure studio nonsense. The crew turned its usual dislike of wasps on bees, and viewers rushed in to defend the bees.
