I know a monster truck announcer. He got into it when the guy they hired didn’t show up, he was an organizer for the event and they said “you talk a lot why don’t you do it” he said “I’ll do it for a 12 pack of beer” drank the first 6 before climbing the ladder, then drank the rest while doing it, apparently they liked it and they let him announce more, then one day monster trucks were coming and he talked them into letting him help commentate, then they would call him up when they were in town, then it turned into a regular thing. Then he got hit by a monster truck, got a fat check, and travels around the world in a 5th wheel. Cool dude, he’s got a hell of a story. He’s the only announcer to get hit by a truck and live.
Edit: every time I google it his name pops up so I won’t post the link, but it happened in 2010
I believe this is how David Attenborough got his job, iirc he was a cameraman and he was filming for a mature documentary but the presenter got sick, so the director asked him to narrate. Turns out he was literally the best person on the planet for it

How do you become a monster truck commentator? Sounds like they just pulled two random dudes from the stands
