Earlier, we told you about Skip Bayless flying the ESPN coop for FOX Sports. Bill Simmons flew the coop one year ago. Now, more than one year later, his HBO show is finally set to debut. His new show, Any Given Wednesday With Bill Simmons, will premiere on Wednesday night, June 22nd at 10 P.M. Here’s more:
Bill Simmons’ big HBO deal comes full circle this summer. The pay cable net announced Tuesday that his new series has both a title (Any Given Wednesday With Bill Simmons) and a premiere date (June 22).
The initial 20-episode season, part of Simmons’ exclusive multi-year, multi-platform agreement with HBO, kicks off a few weeks before the deal’s one-year anniversary. The half-hour show will air weekly, on Wednesday nights, at 10 p.m. — simultaneously becoming available on both the HBO Go and HBO Now platforms.
“I’m excited about the show, I’m excited about the title and I’m really, really excited to drop my first F-bomb on TV,” said Simmons in a statement. “We are going to figure out nudity down the road, as long as it’s tasteful.”
Tasteful nudity. I like it. Read more about it here.
