Joe Buck, ESPN’s Monday Night Football play-by-by man, has landed himself a new job.
According to Front Office Sports, Buck is nearing a deal to host “ESPN Jeopardy!,” a sports trivia show that will stream, and possibly air, on the Disney family of networks.
“The program is expected to air on Hulu and Disney+, and may also run on linear TV on ABC and ESPN’s streaming platforms this summer, sources said,” Front Office Sports’ Ryan Glasspiegel reported.
Not surprisingly, Buck has experience hosting game shows. He spent a week as “Jeopardy!” guest host in August 2021 following the 2020 death of venerable host Alex Trebek.
Buck has done it all as a sports broadcaster, covering six Super Bowls, 24 World Series and five U.S. Open golf tournaments.
Buck hosted the talk shows “Joe Buck Live” on HBO and “Undeniable with Joe Buck” on DirecTV’s Audience Network. He had a podcast, “Daddy Issues with Joe Buck and Oliver Hudson” with actor Oliver Hudson.
Buck and partner Troy Aikman will be behind the mic when ESPN televises Super Bowl LXI on Feb. 14, 2027.
