Do you mean Greg Reamer or Creamer... whatever his name is?
I always hated listening to that guy when he did Trans Am races. He
would let out this annoying yelp when something happened on-track. Kind
of sounded like he was taking a hockey stick up the posterior. They have
tamed him down a little for the F1 broadcasts, but I still feel some
Pavlovian urge to get mad whenever I hear his voice.

I always loved listening to Eddie Cheever during trackside interviews,
especially at Indy, but a couple of years ago when he did F1 for a race
or two for Speedvision I was surprised by how much I did not like him.
He really turned it up a few notches and got to the point where
everything he said was fascinating and he would not let anyone else
talk, going a mile a minute. It seemed like he had a lot to get out
and did not realize how it was sounding to the rest of us. If he
retired from driving (or crashing, lately ;) ), he would need some
coaching to work well with a team, I think. Interesting guy.
