‘The Shop’ NFL broadcast, explained
James, a standout football player in high school, will provide insight from his perspective of the game alongside Carter and Rivera. The trio will welcome a number of guests with the goal of maintaining the authenticity of “The Shop.”
The original, revolutionary formula of UNINTERRUPTED The Shop will remain intact, creating unique experiences where celebrated artists, entertainers, athletes, and advocates come together for authentic, raw, untapped conversations and storytelling that normally wouldn’t happen on a typical show.
The first episode on Nov. 17 provides a blueprint, as Jalen Ramsey and Dez Bryant will join in to provide NFL expertise, while actors Jamie Foxx and Rob Lowe also will make an appearance.
What is ‘The Shop’
“The Shop” is a talk show that made its network debut on HBO in 2018 and is set in a barbershop. Prior to being aired on HBO, one-off episodes of “The Shop” were shot at NBA All-Star Weekend in 2016 and 2017.
According to James, the idea for the show originated based on childhood memories. In 2018, the four-time MVP told The Hollywood Reporter “when I was a kid, being in barbershops meant listening to adults talk about sports, clothing, politics, music, everything happened in the shop.
“It was so real and so candid — no one had a sense of, ‘well I can’t be myself here.’”
After four seasons aired on HBO, “The Shop” moved to YouTube. Among the high-profile guests to appear on “The Shop” are Barack Obama, Jay-Z, Tom Brady, Odell Beckham Jr., Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, Diddy and Will Smith.
