Hottest TV Dad
Since the dawn of television, fictional fathers have been beamed into our living rooms to give us guidance, teach us how to work hard, and deliver tough love. While there have been countless examples of well-meaning, heart-warming dads on TV, that’s not why we’re here. We are here to talk about the daddies, the zaddies, the scorchingly hot parental units who turned us on whenever we tuned in. So forget about their fictional contributions to the actual art of parenting, and focus strictly on the superficial as the Great Pop Culture Debate seeks to answer, who is the Hottest TV Dad of all time? We’re talking Kevin Garvey (“The Leftovers), Jesse Katsopolis (“Full House”), Clark Kent (“Superman & Lois”), Jack Pearson (“This Is Us”), Dr. Derek Shepard (“Grey’s Anatomy”), Eric Taylor (“Friday Night Lights”), Don Draper (“Mad Men”) and more!
Host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Curtis Creekmore, Heather Maclean, and Kara Austin compare crushes and share their thirsty thoughts about the sexiest dads in modern TV history. Want to familiarize yourself with the studs? Here's a handy slideshow with pics and gifs!
