Former NBA star Blake Griffin announced he is launching a weekly late-night talk show, titled “The Stepback with Blake Griffin.” Multiple outlets report the program will combine comedy with sports commentary and will feature Griffin as the host.
The show is described as a new career step for Griffin, who is transitioning from his basketball background into screen entertainment. The Hollywood Reporter and The Athletic say the series will be available through Prime Video and YouTube, and that Griffin is partnering with companies including Prime Video and Wondery. Yahoo Sports similarly frames the announcement as a shift toward humor-based sports programming.
While the core details align across reports—Griffin as host, a weekly format, and the “The Stepback” branding—outlets differ mainly in emphasis. Some focus on Griffin’s media expansion and collaborations, while others highlight the late-night and comedy elements of the concept. Newsweek characterizes the role as surprising and spotlights the announcement of the weekly show.
