Last night, Aflac debuted a commercial featuring the official new voice of its famous -- and admittedly annoying -- "spokesduck."

The man behind the voice is 36-year-old Daniel McKeague of Hugo, MN, who reportedly beat out 12,500 contestants for the gig, according to E! Online. McKeague is also a father of three.
