He hosted Fear Factor back in the day. He also replaced the host (iirc) for The Man Show. He was involved with UFC as a commentor or broadcaster.

His podcast is also one of the top downloaded worldwide and has been for years.

He still is involved with the UFC and is their primary commentator, although he now only calls fights that happen in the US.

Now I feel old as my first thought is 1995's NewsRadio.

No, you're correct. That should be your first thought :) Newsradio was amazing. I still rewatch episodes of it from time to time.

Then it's hard to imagine why you think your age has anything to do with you not knowing who he is. He's been a public figure for more than two decades.
