"Both series, available only to Netflix subscribers, are designed to leverage the star power of their hosts. Davidson already has two comedy specials on the service that have performed well for the streamer. Meanwhile, Irvin stands out as a prominent figure in the sports world and was a big focus in Netflix's documentary series "America's Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys." His new show is likely to appeal to the millions of football fans who already subscribe to the service."
"Davidson's show will feature candid, behind-the-scenes conversations with friends from his own garage, airing every Friday, while Irvin's show will deliver in-depth sports news, analysis, and commentary twice a week, joined by notable guest co-hosts like former NFL All-Pro wide receiver Brandon Marshall. These originals will join Netflix's growing slate of video podcasts, alongside licensed titles from iHeartMedia, Spotify, and Barstool Sports such as "Dear Chelsea," "My Favorite Murder," and "The Ringer.""
Netflix is increasing investment in video podcasts and will release two originals: Michael Irvin's The White House on January 19 and The Pete Davidson Show on January 30. Both series will be available exclusively to Netflix subscribers and leverage host star power. Davidson's show will feature candid, behind-the-scenes conversations with friends from his garage airing every Friday. Irvin's show will provide in-depth sports news, analysis, and commentary twice weekly with guest co-hosts like Brandon Marshall. These originals will join licensed titles on Netflix as the company attempts to challenge YouTube amid a crowded podcast market.
