Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on Aug. 26, 2026 that Griffin has launched The Stepback and that all live-studio episodes have been recorded and are now in post-production ahead of an Oct. 20 premiere.
- The Stepback is a desk-based, late-night–style show built around Griffin's solo commentary rather than regular guest interviews.
- Amazon's Wondery is co-producing the series with Griffin's Mortal Media and the episodes will stream on Prime Video and on YouTube with new episodes released every Tuesday.
- Planned episode topics include sports betting, NIL, taxpayer-funded stadiums, cannabis use, analytics, and the state of sports journalism, mixing policy angles with comedic takes.
- The show extends Griffin's move from NBA star to media figure and signals Wondery's broader push into sports entertainment while aiming to fill a gap for in-depth, comic sports commentary on streaming platforms.
