After previous sold-out shows in New York, Los Angeles and Detroit, Jalen & Jacoby will return with a live recording from the historic Gramercy Theatre in New York City on Tuesday, April 21. Fans can experience a live taping where Jalen Rose and David Jacoby will break down the latest news in sports and pop culture with humor, intelligence and perspective that only a former NBA star and veteran ESPN television producer can provide. Tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster.
The Jalen & Jacoby podcast first began as a passion project for the guys under ESPN’s Grantland banner. As the podcast developed into a hit in the summer of 2011, it grew to include a YouTube show, which then led to an opportunity to host a national ESPN radio show. From the radio show, Jalen & Jacoby grew – yet again – into a late-night TV show before making a progression into an afternoon timeslot on ESPN2 and, currently, 4 p.m. on ESPN.
What: Live podcast recording of ESPN’s Jalen & Jacoby
Who: Jalen Rose joined ESPN in 2007 as regular contributor to the network’s NBA coverage. In 2012, Rose was named a studio analyst for NBA Countdown – ESPN and ABC’s pre-game show – and now appears regularly on ESPN’s morning shows, Get Up and First Take. Outside of his duties at ESPN, Rose established the Jalen Rose Foundation to create life-changing opportunities for underserved youth, and founded the Jalen Rose Leadership Academy, an open enrollment, tuition-free public charter high school in Detroit.
David Jacoby is a commentator and coordinating producer, who first joined ESPN in 1999. Jacoby also serves as a producer for Katie Nolan’s show on ESPN2, Always Late with Katie Nolan and a regular guest on ESPN’s longtime studio show, Around the Horn.
