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.

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,...

There's a great story in the friendship and rivalry between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, players who dominated basketball in the 1980s.
Unfortunately it is not found on the stage in "Magic/Bird" at the Longacre Theater.
The leads are good: Kevin Daniels ("Twelfth Night" on Broadway, "Modern Family" on TV) as Earvin "Magic" Johnson, and Tug Coker ("The Office," "How I Met Your Mother") in his Broadway debut as Larry Bird.
There are a couple of inspired moments: the actors are announced the way players are on a court. But that's just not enough.
Both are good guys, the charismatic Johnson and the laconic Bird. Both are high-school and college stars, and when Johnson goes to the Los Angeles Lakers and Bird to the Boston Celtics, they revitalize their teams and basketball.
Now if only that had happened on stage.

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.

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.
