During Saturday night’s Seahawks-Cowboys playoff game, Fox ran a promo for The Passage, a new series premiering on Jan. 14.
The series stars Mark-Paul Gosselaar, and Joe Buck gave Gosselaar a very odd pronunciation. Buck clearly wasn’t a Saved by the Bell fanatic.

Dammit Joe Buck. You really just pronounced in Mark Paul Gas-ee-lar. You don't disrespect Zack Morris like that.

And as a quick Twitter search shows, this has been a thing from Buck in the past. Like on Dec. 9, 2018:

And during the 2016 MLB All-Star Game.
Anyone else irrationally pissed at how Joe Buck pronounces Mark Paul Gosselaar's name? #AllStarGame

Joe Buck keeps pronouncing "Mark-Paul Gosselaar" with the tentative tone of somebody who seems not to have even heard of Saved By The Bell.
