ESPN’s Ryan Clark Says He Wasn’t ‘on TV Naked’ During ‘Monday Night Football’ Pregame Show

ESPN’s Ryan Clark turned heads 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 suit, 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 time this NFL season that an ESPN commentator’s skin-toned clothing choice resulted in confusion for the viewing audience, with Dan Orlovsky previously needing to clarify that he was, in fact, wearing pants while calling a game.

No doubt Orlovsky is happy to now have some company in this exclusive club.
