The host will be the face and life of the show, lending their unique personality and perspective to every aspect of production, so it’s crucial that they have a big personality and the capability to bring a brand-new project to life.

She Plays Weekly is a sports show that covers all the best of women’s sports on and off the field, combining high-quality sports insights with a late night television feel. Irreverent but honest, informative but entertaining, She Plays Weekly is the comprehensive program women’s sports fans have never had before. With news, highlights, comedy, and guests every week, She Plays Weekly is here to raise up the athletes we know and love.
