Roy Keane made his CBS Sports debut on Thursday night and was involved in a priceless moment early on as Micah Richards disappeared.
The Manchester United legend is a regular pundit for both Sky Sports and ITV, as well as a permanent guest on the Stick to Football podcast.
But he has bagged another gig, reuniting with Richards and Jamie Carragher on the popular and entertaining CBS Sports' Golazo show in the United States.
Former England internationals Richards and Carragher produce constant hilarity alongside Thierry Henry on the programme - which typically airs on Champions League nights.

Yet Keane's first appearance brought the same kind of entertainment. Richards was initially in his usual seat on Carragher's left but the Liverpool legend would go on to announce that he was nowhere to be seen, claiming "the pressure" was taking its toll.
Carragher said: "Who knows what pressure does to different people, people are affected by it differently. The man on my left [Richards], it's a big European final. The pressure has got to him. The sweat is peeing out of him."
A concerned Keane then asked "I hope he's okay, is he okay?".
That prompted Carragher to reply: "I think he is okay. You can work out for yourself where he probably is right now. He's having imodium? I think that will give you a real idea of where he is and what he's doing right now. Will he make the kick-off?".
Keane was full of laughs over Richards' unexpected issue and fans will be hoping for more goodness during the CBS coverage.
Richards was present at the very start of the show, where he was introduced first by presenter Anita Nneka Jones - who stepped up to the mark in the absence of Kate Scott.
But Keane received the best introduction of all and after those in the studio loudly applauded, he was appreciative of the "nice reception" and called himself the "first sub" after coming in to replace Henry.
When asked if he would be bringing his typical "no-nonsense approach", Keane said, "I hope so, pretty straightforward".
After Richards made a joke about Roy Kent and Ted Lasso, Keane asked, "Is it like this all night?" and was told it would be the case.
