Former NBA Star Blake Griffin Set to Host Weekly Late Night Show, Details Revealed

Former NBA star Blake Griffin will be hosting a new weekly late-night television show.

According to Steven Zeitchik of the Hollywood Reporter, Griffin is launching a live-studio show titled The Stepback with Blake Griffin on Prime Video and YouTube.

Per Zeitchik, Griffin will sit behind a desk and discuss topics such as gambling, NIL, taxpayer-funded stadiums and analytics.

The first episode will drop on Oct. 20 with a new one releasing every Tuesday afterwards.

Griffin currently serves as an analyst for Prime Video's NBA coverage, but has done stand-up comedy on multiple occasions.

He discussed the inspiration for his new show.

"I've watched and idolized shows like The Daily Show and Last Week Tonight, so to follow in their footsteps while putting my own stamp on the genre is an amazing opportunity that I'm grateful to take part in," Griffin said, per Zeitchik.

The 37-year-old previously played in the NBA from 2010-23 and spent time with the Los Angeles Clippers, Detroit Pistons, Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics. Griffin earned six All-Star nods and five All-NBA selections to go along with a Rookie of the Year award during his career.
