A show about a pair of inept broadcasters is currently generating laughs on Go90. Now We’re Talking, a scripted series from Warner Bros.’ Blue Ribbon Content and Bleacher Report’s Uninterrupted, recently launched its third episode, with four more to come.

Now We’re Talking stars Tug Coker and Tommy Dewey as Tug and Tommy, a pair of washed-up NFL quarterbacks -- one starter and one backup -- who look to get into the commentary game. Due in part to the personal animosity they share toward one another, they make for a terrible on-screen duo. As the show’s trailer suggests, their chemistry is so awful that their broadcasts take on a “so bad it’s good” feel among fans.

Uninterrupted is known as a video platform on which athletes can share their thoughts directly with viewers, and Now We’re Talking features plenty of cameo appearances from pro athletes past and present.

What can two washed up quarterbacks do after their NFL careers are over? How about try their luck on a new playing field: broadcasting. Today go90, along with WB’s Blue Ribbon Content and LeBron James’ Uninterrupted, released the first trailer for the sports-themed comedy “Now We’re Talking.”

The short-form, digital scripted show stars Tommy Dewey and Tug Coker as former pro football quarterbacks, Tug Tanner (Coker) and Tommy Arondall (Dewey), who now find themselves falling from the top of their NFL game to the bottom of their class in sports broadcasting school. The first look shows the ex-rivals forced to work together in their new sportscasting careers.

Magic/Bird is another sports pantomime from playwright Eric Simonson and director Thomas Kail, the team that brought us last season’s inert, NFL–approved hagiography Lombardi. That show was an unsteady errand of stat-recounting and statue-polishing, with some basic bio-drama tricks thrown in (an invented narrator here, a speculative drama there). Magic/Bird is much better, mostly because it uses the dynamic eighties rivalry between basketball superstars Earvin “Magic” Johnson (Kevin Daniels) and Larry Bird (Tug Coker) as its mainspring. But it still can’t conceal what it is: an animatronic Epcot pavilion seemingly designed and operated by the NBA. Edited together like a highlight reel (complete with a Coldplay song), Magic/Bird steers us gently but firmly from 1979 — when Bird and Johnson ignited their long contretemps in the Ncaa Championship Game — to the early nineties, when both their careers came crashing to a close: Bird benched by his chronic back problems,...

As if making their Broadway debuts isn't stressful enough, Kevin Daniels and Tug Coker face additional pressures in tackling basketball icons Earvin "Magic" Johnson and Larry Bird. The play in question is "Magic/Bird" by Eric Simonson, who wrote the successful sports drama, "Lombardi" which played on Broadway last season."Magic/Bird" centers on the intense rivalry and unexpected friendship between the legendary athletes, who are credited with saving a faltering National Basketball Association (NBA) in the '80s. Johnson, an L.A. Laker, is a gregarious African-American with Hollywood charm to spare, while Bird, a Boston Celtic, is an awkward, non-verbal, white rural kid. Magic made international news when he was diagnosed with HIV in 1991. Despite their adversarial relationship Bird became Magic's true pal and support.Both athletes served as consultants on the script and will be at the Longacre Theatre on opening night, April 11. Daniels and Coker know they're facing the acting.

New York -- Retired NBA superstar Earvin "Magic" Johnson will join the cast of Magic/Bird onstage at Broadway's Longacre Theatre for a post-show talkback with audience members following a special matinee on Friday, April 13. Written by Eric Simonson and directed by Thomas Kail (In the Heights), the play chronicles the professional rivalry and enduring friendship between Johnson and fellow Hall of Famer Larry Bird as they battle it out for three championships and invigorate professional basketball in the 1980s. The iconic hoop stars are played in the production by newcomers Kevin Daniels and Tug Coker, respectively. "We are very

Groom, Charlie (Charlie Koznick) doesn't turn up to his wedding and his groomsmen are missing too. The bride-to-be, Kim (Alexa Havins) says if he doesn't show he'd "better be dead or dying." Naturally she'd have to make that comment and then take it back. A call is made where it appears there are two DBs in a bloodied fountain. They're not dead, but the missing groomsmen; Jack (Tug Coker) and Sean (Greg Winter). Tripp (Rex Linn) says the blood in the fountain is human, from their clothes, but it's not theirs. Horatio (David Caruso) says "someone's dead." Calleigh (Emily Procter) asks for Charlie's brush and a photo so they can check the blood for his DNA. Calleigh gets the last line before the opening credits now, which was always left to Horatio in the past. Natalia (Eva Larue) takes a sample from the fountain for analysis and to check the DNA.
