That was Sportscenter: Rich Eisen’s new interview show

[Tom Wolper]

Rich Eisen had long had an idea to do a show about the history of Sportscenter with his old colleagues. The big problem was he could never get archival footage from ESPN. As he recently returned to being an ESPN employee after their purchase of the NFL Network, he told his new bosses that he wanted to do it and they told him they wanted him to do it.

A first season has come out with interviews with Dan Patrick, Chris Berman, Mike Greenberg, Linda Cohn, Chris Fowler, and Craig Kilborn. They’re being promoted as being available on Disney streamers and you can also find them by searching for Rich Eisen on YouTube. I have watched the interviews with Patrick and Berman so far and the Patrick interview was honest and excellent and the Berman interview was done in front of an audience and Berman was being entertaining.
