Pureplay Entertainment’s upcoming series “The Wager,” hosted by renowned television personality Jason Kennedy, is set to make its debut on popular streaming services like Roku, Tubi, Xumo, and Pluto in the coming months. Currently, the show is gaining traction with regional broadcasts on NBC Sports, MSG Networks, BeIN Sports, and other channels, reaching over 100 markets.
In “The Wager,” viewers will enjoy thrilling matches as Kennedy partners with PPA professional Wes Burrows to challenge various celebrities from film, television, and sports. Notable participants include Taylor Lautner, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Shawn Johnson, Rande and Presley Gerber, Kit Hoover, Austin North, Johnny Lowe, Chandler Parsons, Bill Rancic, Colton Underwood, Golden Tate, David Dobrik, and Eric Decker. Each episode promises a mix of competitive spirit and light-hearted banter.
The format of the show introduces an exciting twist: teams place bets before each match, which can lead to fun and sometimes embarrassing consequences for the losing side. These wagers may involve charitable donations or playful penalties, such as social media takeovers. During halftime, the teams engage in casual conversations, sharing personal stories and insights from their lives beyond the court.
