The two will cover the latest news across sport, culture, entertainment, and politics.
“Michael and I couldn’t be more excited to join the Peacock family,” Michael Smith said. “When coming up with our show’s name and thinking about the vibe we wanted to create, we kept coming back to just that—family—and to this brotherhood. We want this show and the conversations between us and with our guests to feel relatable—literally. As in if you’re giving us time out of your day, then you’re family to us. And since Peacock is free, all are most definitely welcome.”
