Advertise on podcast: Burnout with Connor Franta

Today, we're sharing a peek at a new show from Lemonada Media: So U Think You Can Sports? with Eliot Glazer. If there’s one thing comedian Eliot Glazer knows, it isn’t sports! And that makes for gloriously chaotic sit-down interviews with some of our most iconic, world-class athletes and sports figures, from basketball legend Charles Barkley to WWE star Becky Lynch to ESPN icon Mike Greenberg. On So U Think U Can Sports?, Eliot (Broad City, New Girl) throws himself headfirst into the sports world with the enthusiasm of a naive, well-meaning buffoon. Endlessly earnest but too dumb to comprehend the basic physics of how a game works, Eliot provides a POV rarely — if ever — seen in the world of sports: the idiot. All the while, he is genuinely curious and determined to understand why sports bring out the most primal behavior in fans. So U Think U Can Sports? is executive produced by Charles Barkley and his Round Mound Media, as well as CBS’ Tracker star Justin Hartley and his ChangeUp Productions.
