The New York Times is reporting that FOX announcer Joe Buck will host a new HBO show starting in May. This is in direct relation to Costas leaving HBO for the MLB Network. Buck is thought to help fill the void left by Costas.
Yeah, Buck for Costas, that’s an equal trade…
I was excited to see Costas on the new MLB Network. But then I realized something; who the hell even has the MLB Network? I sure don’t. Not yet at least.
Now we get just what we all need; more Joe Buck because, don’t worry, Buck will not be leaving FOX.
Buck’s new show is going to be “talk show” format, which HBO said might include a live “town-hall-style” format.
Yeah, because nothing could possibly go wrong when you put a bunch of sports fans on live HBO with Joe Buck. Have fun screening the fans, HBO. Heck, I am actually excited for this now.
