About this episode
Joe Buck discusses his new role as host of ESPN's Jeopardy!, his relationship with his father, and shares stories from his career.
Joe Buck joins Tim and Jeff Kurkjian and, as always, he doesn’t disappoint. The legendary play-by-play announcer has done it all, so we’ll spare you the long list of accomplishments—but trust us, it’s impressive. What we will tell you is that he’s just been announced as the new host of ESPN’s Jeopardy! , and we’ve got the inside scoop. Joe shares what he knows so far and how soon filming is set to begin. We also dive into his relationship with his father, Hall of Fame broadcaster Jack Buck, and the remarkable career that helped shape Joe’s path. In fact, they’ll become the first father-son duo enshrined in Cooperstown as broadcasters—pretty cool. Then we take a trip down memory lane to the days of Brockmire , where both Tim and Joe appeared (Joe a bit more prominently) alongside the incredibly talented Hank Azaria. The behind-the-scenes stories are priceless. Joe also gives us a great look into what it was like growing up around the St. Louis Cardinals. Whether you’re a Cards fan or just a baseball fan in general, you’re going to love these stories. Big thanks to Joe for joining us—and as always, thank…
