Patrick \u201cSeton\u201d O\u2019Connor, a longtime producer of The Dan Patrick Show<\/em>, announced on Tuesday that he\u2019s leaving his on-air role<\/a> with the national sports radio show.<\/p>\n \u201cIt doesn\u2019t mean that I\u2019m leaving The Dan Patrick Show<\/em> entirely, it means I\u2019m not doing the radio show anymore,\u201d O\u2019Connor explained on Tuesday. \u201cSo I\u2019m going to leave the radio show to focus on sort of a different side of the business that I\u2019m hoping to grow and build out a little more. So I\u2019ve kind of been thinking of it as I\u2019m not walking out the door, I\u2019m sort of building a new room on this house.\u201d<\/p>\n After 6,766 shows, O\u2019Connor had his final day in the role on Friday. It was an emotional day for O\u2019Connor, Dan Patrick, and the rest of the crew.<\/p>\n The Dan Patrick Show<\/em> shared a nine-minute sign-off video in which O\u2019Connor explained his move and his plans going forward.<\/p>\n Seton Signs Off: @HiMyNameIsSeton<\/a> explains his move, and shares what\u2019s next for him. pic.twitter.com\/CqRFS5rbHf<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Dan Patrick Show (@dpshow) April 10, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a couple of reasons why I\u2019m making this move now, both personally and professionally,\u201d O\u2019Connor began. \u201cProfessionally, it\u2019s just the right time. The next step for me, post-Dan Patrick Show<\/em>, this is sort of where I\u2019m heading. Personally, one of the things that has been awesome about this show is that we\u2019ve all grown with it, and that includes our families. My son is 16 now, and his life has taken him to really incredible places. So proud of the young man that he\u2019s become, and I want to be there for all of it. For all of his life.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve always tried to put my family first, ahead of my career, or money, or anything like that. But now, we\u2019ve grown the show to a place where I don\u2019t really have to choose that anymore,\u201d O\u2019Connor continued, while getting emotional. \u201cI\u2019m really thankful to Dan for letting me have this opportunity and supporting me in it. His role in this is massive and greatly appreciated not just by me, but by my family.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI think what I\u2019m most looking forward to in this new role is building something,\u201d O\u2019Connor explained. \u201cThat\u2019s really always been what\u2019s sort of gotten me going. I think that\u2019s one of the things that actually appealed to me about leaving ESPN in 2007 and getting to Dan\u2019s attic was building a show from nothing. It didn\u2019t exist, and now we just made it. So, now I feel like I get to do that again. Same show, but sort of a different dimension, maybe. Different tools. I look at it more like I\u2019m not walking out the door; I\u2019m building a new room to this house. You know what\u2019s crazy, though, is that I\u2019m 48 right now, and Dan was right around my age when we were all starting in the attic. And now, today, I\u2019m building a studio in the third floor of my house to do, I don\u2019t know, something similar, I guess.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m incredibly proud of the show,\u201d O\u2019Connor said. \u201cI\u2019m so proud of everything that we\u2019ve built together\u2026 I\u2019m just blown away that it\u2019s been this long. It\u2019s incredibly rare to have a show last this long and keep most of the same personnel together. I think that really speaks to the core of the show\u2026 I hope to, in this next chapter, continue that\u2026 If you\u2019ve been with us, whether it\u2019s since the attic or last Tuesday, you should follow me with that. I\u2019m not leaving the show; I\u2019m just adding on to it a little bit in a different respect. So, you\u2019re going to want to follow us for this. It\u2019s very much a natural extension of what we\u2019ve already been doing. And it\u2019s going to be fun. It\u2019s going to be exciting. And you get to watch it all happen in real time. So, stick with us.\u201d<\/p>\n Will Ferrell and Rich Eisen were among the guests on Friday\u2019s show to send well wishes to O\u2019Connor.<\/p>\n Longtime friend of the show Will Ferrell called in to wish @HiMyNameIsSeton<\/a> well during his final show. pic.twitter.com\/6hiISaWciE<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Dan Patrick Show (@dpshow) April 10, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n \u201cI just wanted to wish you the best,\u201d Ferrell said. \u201cThat trip to Ireland, meeting up with you guys was one of the most fun things I\u2019ve ever gotten to do. We spent some fun conversations talking about your son, and his journey, and playing soccer. I love that you\u2019re taking the time to do all that\u2026 You\u2019re building a room onto the house, right? The question is, do you have a proper contractor\u2019s license? That\u2019s what I want to know.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou would always have a smile on your face, and just be chill and present\u2026 I\u2019ve always enjoyed listening and watching you.\u201d<\/p>\n \u2013 @richeisen<\/a> on @HiMyNameIsSeton<\/a>. pic.twitter.com\/VV8voT4vQc<\/a><\/p>\n\n
