BET is going clubbin' with 'Ballers' talk
BET is getting in the sports talk-show business with a new series hosted by former NBA player John Salley, former NFL player Hugh Douglas and comedian Guy Torry.
The network is debuting its first sports talk show, an hourlong series titled "Ballers", at 10 p.m. on April 20. The weekly show -- from creator/executive producer/director Tony McCuin and executive producer John Johnston -- features the hosts talking sports in a nightclub environment. Topics will range from serious issues to silly plays. The show will have a female presence with DJ Rashida's "girl's booth" as well as Claudia Jordan (NBC's "Deal or No Deal") serving as correspondent.
In fact, "Ballers" is designed to appeal to sports and nonsports fans as well as men and women.
"This really has a much broader appeal than most shows in this category," BET president of entertainment Reginald Hudlin said. "The interaction between these three personalities is unbelievable, and the format is very loose and fun. The nightclub setting really changes the vibe."
The show will tape at Platinum Live in Studio City.
