DraftKing Network To Launch New Mike Golic Show


Former ESPN radio host Mike Golic will host a weekday sports morning show on the DraftKings Network with his son, Mike Golic Jr., according to a report from The Athletic.

The show, which will be called GoJo and Golic, will be broadcast from 8–10 a.m. ET on Samsung TV Plus and DraftKingsNetwork.com. Jessie Coffield will also be featured on the show, as she will be participating from the DraftKings studio in Boston, while the Golics will be based in Arizona, California and sometimes in South Bend during college football season.

“Me and Dad talked about this for a while,” Golic Jr. told The Athletic. “What if we gave this a real shot again? It seemed like people enjoyed it before. It did not end on our terms with our show last time around, so we sort of get a chance to go out here and write the ending however we see fit.”

Golic expressed his excitement about the new show to The Athletic.
“It became a collaborative effort with DraftKings,” Golic Sr. said. “They said, ‘Well, if you want to do this, we think the natural thing is to put you and your son back together.’ As long as I did a show at ESPN, from Tony Bruno to Greeny [Mike Greenberg] to Wingo, the most fun I had was doing it with one of my kids, so this was a no-brainer.”

Golic Jr. will continue his work with Learfield’s “College Football Saturday Night” as an analyst, and Golic Sr. will continue calling NFL games for Westwood One while hosting a once-per-week show on DraftKings with Jessica Smetana. Golic Sr. also appears on Meadowlark Media’s God Bless Football show.

The new show for the father-son tandem will premier next Monday.
