NBC’s Sunday Night Football booth was missing Cris Collinsworth for the Baltimore Ravens’ 20–10 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, and his replacement, Jason Garrett, was far from great.
The former Dallas Cowboys head coach was alongside Mike Tirico for the call because Collinsworth got the holiday weekend off after working Thursday’s 49ers-Seahawks game.

Garrett had a rough night, as he annoyed viewers all game long with his constant giggling after just about everything he said. He also did weird things like when he decided to jump in and share his thoughts on sunsets while Tirico was sending the broadcast to a commercial break:

Jason Garrett is terrible as a color commentator. He does this uncomfortable laugh anytime he says anything.

Why does Jason Garrett giggle after every comment? #SundayNightFootball producer please address this at halftime.

Jason Garrett nervously giggling to fill dead air every other sentence might be the worst broadcasting habit I’ve ever heard. He must be stopped!

Is Jason Garrett’s laughing like his clapping after everyone single play?

Jason Garrett is awful in the booth. Did he drink giggle juice?

Jason Garrett is a big “laugh at your own jokes” guy.
