LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) – Popular sports radio talk show host Colin Cowherd has sold his life story to CBS for a sitcom deal.
A project based on the ESPN host was picked up by the network.
Radio show, "The Herd with Colin Cowherd", is a syndicated program known for Cowherd's obnoxious commentary that sometimes results in headline-making arguments with players and fans.
Cowherd drew blogger outrage a few years ago after using a Web site's comedy bit without credit, then writing back to the author, "WE WERE SENT IT....WE HAD NO IDEA..BUT THE INCESSANT
WHINING...MEANS I WON'T GIVE YOU CREDIT NOW..GET OVER IT."
Earlier this year, Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco bashed the host on Twitter after the player was singled out by Cowherd when noting "70% of the NFL and NBA players are broke within five years of retirement."
Ochocinco wrote that Cowherd should "just say I don't like this black guy," then added "your girl is cheating on you."
The Cowherd script sold as a multi-camera comedy to CBS, with writers Bill Martin and Mike Schiff attached ("Hank", "Grounded For Life"), as well as executive producers Eric and Kim Tannenbaum ("Two and a Half Men"). Cowherd himself has a producer credit.
