Actor Robert Wuhl gets sports tak showCourtesy
the New York Times
(October 4, 2010) Robert Wuhl, the comic actor who played a sports agent on HBO’s “Arliss,” will be taking a real job in the business starting in January, when he will host a three-hour sports talk radio show for Westwood One on weekdays from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
“I can do sports talk, but I can also talk about movies and politics,” he said. “It’s not filtered. There are great hosts, like Dan Patrick, Jim Rome and Mike Francesa, but I come from a little different place. I joke that I can’t vote for the Heisman but I can vote for the Academy Awards.” Wuhl has been in the sports films “Bull Durham,” as the pitching coach, and “Cobb,” as the reporter Al Stump, Ty Cobb’s ghostwriter. “Fans care if their team wins or loses, but I’m more interested in the bigger picture, on how deals are made,” he said. “I enjoy talking about morality.” He added: “I want to make this like the old Tom Snyder and David Susskind shows, bring people together, with sports personalities and sports-oriented celebrities.” Read more at
