Charles Barkley, Justin Hartley Team on Sports-Comedy Podcast 'So U Think U Can Sports?' for Fall Release

Lemonada Media will distribute the Eliot Glazer–hosted series built on his intentional lack of sports knowledge.

Overview

  • Round Mound Media and Justin Hartley’s ChangeUp Productions are producing the podcast in partnership with Lemonada Media.
  • Eliot Glazer will interview athletes, coaches and team owners, with Charles Barkley participating as the show’s sports authority.
  • The series is slated to debut this fall, with no specific launch date announced.
  • Lemonada CEO Stephanie Wittels Wachs said early script ideas made the concept click as a straightforward comedy play.
  • Coverage frames Barkley’s new project against Inside the NBA’s shift to ESPN under a licensing deal that introduced irregular scheduling.
