Get well Pat O'Brien

It was announced this week that long-time television host and mustached American Pat O'Brien has checked into a rehabilitation facility for unspecified treatment..

O'Brien, who turns 60 today, is best remembered for hosting pretty much every major sporting event under the sun, as well as leading "Access Hollywood" from the beginning, and most recently hosting "The Insider."

A statement from producers of "The Insider" confirmed, "O'Brien and his doctors felt this is the best course for maintaining his sobriety."

Pat is going through a tough stretch, and yes he had some issues back in 2005 with the now infamous voice mail messages.

But you know what? Pat O'Brien is a hell of a guy. In the event you missed it, pan down to the October 2007 AMI "Monthly Mustache Interview." Not only does Pat have a terrific sense of humor, but he has been very, very giving of his time and assistance to AMI. He's no Dave Navarro, who is currently in the running for the United Knucklehead Convention's much-coveted "Knuckleheaded Midget of the Year" award.

So let's all give our best wishes to Pat. A hell of a guy and a terrific mustached American.

Get well soon.

About afroman

The name “Abe Froman” is most commonly recognized as the ubiquitous and unseen character who’s identity is briefly assumed by actor Matthew Broderick in the film “Ferris Beuller’s Day Off.” However, Abraham Froman is much more. Dr. Froman, a Capricorn, began his career with AMI as an intern, and after receiving his certification in nuclear mustacheology in 2006, transitioned his role into the organization’s Director of Logistical Intelligence, focusing on research, government relations, intelligence gathering, grass roots advocacy, and song writing. On October 25, 2008, he will ascend to the role of Chief Executive Officer. “I am honored to assume the chair held by Drs. Snor and Perlut previously,” Froman said. “The Mustached American people need leadership, and I pledge that AMI, under my stewardship, will continue to provide it at a time when it is so desperately needed.” Dr. Froman has said that his future goals for AMI are to create satellite campus’s overseas and to develop an annual event, to be known as "The Million Mustache March," each year in St. Louis, concluding under the world’s largest mustache – St. Louis’ Gateway Arch. Froman formerly lived in the Chicago area where he ran a museum dedicated to the "Karate Kid" series of films starring the indefatigable Pat Morita. As Abe likes to say, "One can never tire of Pat Morita." Dr. Froman is also a periodic contributor to joesportsfan.com.
