Actor and comedian Bobby Lee (<em>Mad TV<\/em>, <em>Tiger Belly<\/em>) and Emmy Award-winning writer Ian Karmel (<em>The Late Late Show with James Corden<\/em>) will serve as comedian panelists.<\/p>\n<p>To be titled <em>Game On!<\/em>, the series is produced by Eye Productions and Fulwell 73 Productions with CPL Productions, a Red Arrow Studios company. Executive producers for Fulwell 73 Productions are Ben Winston, James Corden and Emma Conway with David Taylor, Murray Boland and Danielle Lux serving as executive producers for CPL Productions. Gronkowski, Elle Key, Keegan-Michael Key, Henry Penzi and Williams also serve as executive producers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are so delighted to be making this show with CBS,\u201d said Winston. \u201cWe couldn\u2019t have found a better host and partner in Keegan, and I can\u2019t wait to see Gronk and Venus as we\u2019ve never seen them before, going head to head in some epic yet ridiculous battles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <em>A League of Their Own<\/em> format is distributed globally outside of the U.S. and Canada by Red Arrow Studios International.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\">Equal parts comedy and game show, the series pits two teams of three, captained by Williams and Gronkowski, with comedians Lee and Karmel and a rotating mix of sports stars, comedians and celebrities, against one another. The teams will go head to head in over-the-top physical challenges\u2014from seeing who can dunk the most basketballs over a tank of water while harnessed on a bungee cord, to taking on a sumo wrestler in the ring. They will also have their sports-related knowledge tested with trivia questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CBS has ordered a sports comedy entertainment series based on A League of Their Own, the BAFTA-winning U.K. series currently in its 14th season on Sky, with Keegan-Michael Key on board to host the U.S. treatment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":7363,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[865,478,1327],"class_list":["post-7362","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-a-league-of-their-own","tag-cbs","tag-red-arrow-studios-international","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
