Comedian Eliot Glazer, recognized for his work on 'Broad City,' is set to launch a sports-themed podcast this fall.

Lemonada Media, known for podcasts featuring David Duchovny and James Corden, will produce the series.
Glazer, who admits to having little sports knowledge, will interview legendary athletes, current players, coaches, and owners. The podcast's unique premise is to explore the question: 'what's the deal with sports?' Justin Hartley expressed excitement about blending comedy and sports, highlighting Glazer as the ideal host.
Stephanie Wittels Wachs, CEO of Lemonada Media, noted the inherent humor in the concept, anticipating "comic gold." Marc Perman of Round Mound Media emphasized the show's appeal, especially given the cultural saturation of sports opinions and analysis, positioning it as a highly entertaining sports show.
