What’s just as good as watching a game? Tuning into a show where comedy legends are highlighting their best moments. My love for laughing is just as strong as my love for watching sports, so when those two things are combined, I’m locked in on whatever is happening.
Good news for me and comedy lovers/sports fans: Tuesday, November 25, is a treat, as Prime Video’s Good Sports premieres on the streaming service, hosted by Kenan Thompson and Kevin Hart.
If you enjoyed the duo’s past Olympics coverage, this is something to get excited about. The show, intending to “give fans a front-row seat to the ultimate crossover and transform the traditional world of sports commentary,” will air a new episode weekly (on Tuesdays) at 7:00 p.m. CT/ 8:00 p.m. ET.
What will make Good Sports a good show?
I was excited to see Thompson and Hart working together again. Something about the two being in the same place makes for good content. I’ve also been a Prime Video subscriber for years, so tuning in on November 25 is a no-brainer.
There’s been a big increase in sports shows lately, whether it’s analysts giving their opinions on players and team performances, legendary athletes talking from a “I’ve been there” perspective, or fans dabbling into their teams, you can’t get away from the content. So, how will Good Sports be different?
According to a press release, Good Sports “will deliver a highlight reel of laughs, featuring exclusive interviews with the biggest stars in sports and entertainment, wickedly funny commentary on the week’s top stories and highlights, and boldly original field pieces.”
Kenan Thompson, who also serves as executive producer, said he and Hart are really just being themselves.
“Doing the Olympics with Kevin was wild, but this? This is next-level. Good Sports is us just being ourselves—cracking jokes and probably pulling muscles we didn’t know we had. It’s gonna be a good time!!”
