Former NBA standout
The series is scheduled to debut on October 20, coinciding with the opening day of the NBA regular season. Produced by Mortal Media—the production company founded by Griffin and former NFL player Ryan Kalil—the show will feature a live studio audience. According to reports, new episodes are slated to air every Tuesday, offering the former athlete a platform to share his perspectives on current sports trends, including the evolving landscapes of NIL and sports betting.
A New Venture in Media and Entertainment
Griffin’s foray into the late-night genre follows a successful stint as a studio analyst for Amazon’s NBA coverage last season. The production is a collaborative effort involving Amazon Studios, YouTube, and Wondery. In a statement regarding the new venture, Griffin expressed his admiration for the late-night format, citing programs like The Daily Show and Last Week Tonight as inspirations for his own approach to the genre.
The athlete-turned-host announced the news on social media with a characteristically dry wit, joking that the show provides him with a chance to recreate the final years of his playing career by simply sitting down. This project is the latest in a series of entertainment endeavors for Griffin, who has previously appeared on Saturday Night Live, voiced a role on The Simpsons, and acted in the 2023 remake of White Men Can't Jump. His background also includes experience in stand-up comedy, having performed at open mic events in both Hollywood and Montreal over the past decade.
