Unique to the second season, several episodes of “Undeniable with Joe Buck,” executive produced by Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Television, were filmed in front of a live studio audience from “The Armory” in San Francisco during the 2016 Super Bowl week. This is a first for the show. Super Bowl week provided an interesting spin on the show’s long form, one-on-one interviews that captivated audiences throughout the show’s first season.
“I have never been more proud of something with my name in the title,” Buck said. “Season 1 was a great start, but I believe we hit our stride in season 2. From Favre to Sugar Ray and all guests in between, people will see new sides of these athletes. I believe every show thus far has been a learning experience… not just for the audience, but for the host as well.”
“Joe Buck’s credentials as a play-by-play man are well known, but with ‘Undeniable’ he’s able to showcase an even more authentic portrayal of his personality. That’s a big part of what is making the show successful,” Christopher Long, senior vice president, Original Content and Production, AT&T said. “‘Undeniable’ shows our commitment to delivering compelling, exclusive entertainment and sports programming on the AUDIENCE Network.”
Buck is known as the lead play-by-play voice for MLB, the USGA and the NFL on Fox. He has called 18 World Series, 18 MLB All- Star Games, 4 Super Bowls and 2 U.S. Opens.
A winner of 7 Emmy Awards for “Most Outstanding Sports Personality,” Buck went beyond his usual confines of the broadcast booth in Season 1. It displayed his affable, laid-back interviewing skills within the show’s uniquely intimate long-form interview format.
The format provides viewers a more in-depth look into the past, present and future of numerous iconic athletes.
