You don’t know exactly what you’re going to get when you put a microphone in front of John Kruk. Whatever it is, it’s going to be authentic.
Sunday Last week tonight dedicated a montage to the three-time All-Star turned commentator in this spirit.
Kruk responded Tuesday during the Phillies broadcast on NBC Sports Philadelphia. He made it very clear that he is limited in his television usage when asked about the segment.
“I don’t watch any TV shows other than wrestling, so I don’t know what’s going on in the TV world other than watching Phillies games and wrestling,” Kruk said. “I have no idea about anything else that’s going on around me.”

Well, not quite. There are other shows that interest him.
“I also watch ‘Swamp People,’ ‘Dance Moms,’ and ‘Doctor Pimple Popper,'” Kruk told Awful Announcing. “Oh, and the kids showed me how to use Netflix, so I binge-watched ‘All-American.'”
