Kevin Frazier Prepares Us for 'The T. Ocho Show'
Tonight the world of sports and entertainment are switching gears.
Terrell Owens and Chad Ocho Cinco are taking over VERSUS television in a show unlike your typical talk fest, where sports, politics and celebrities come together as one.
It's clear the pair has strong opinions about football, but they also have something to say about Lindsay Lohan's poor decisions and relationship advice for Mel Gibson. 'The T.Ocho Show' will highlight these ever-pressing issues.
Kevin Frazier, the weekend host and correspondent for 'Entertainment Tonight,' will serve as the host and moderator. "We're going to talk about everything football – but we're going to talk about it like you've never heard it," says Frazier.
The show premieres tonight at 10:30 p.m. ET on VERSUS.
Check out what Frazier had to say after the jump!
You're perfect for this role ... are you excited to host?
I'm kind of there to be the referee. I'm the guy who steers them in the direction they should be going and reels them in when they go too far. Because, look – these guys don't really have a filter. There are so many generic athletes across the board. These guys are like, 'no, let me tell you the truth, here's what's going on.'
I think a lot of people have preconceived notion about athletes ... do these guys fall into that category?
The thing with Chad [Ocho Cinco] is, he's a really, really, smart guy. It bothers me when people think, that just because this guy's an athlete, he can't be smart. This guy's smart, and he cracked the code for the big world. It's one thing to get marketing stuff in the sports world, it's a different animal to cross over and crack the code to the entertainment world. Most guys want to do it, only a handful has ever done it.
So what's the truth about athletes?
Guys want to be on 'Entourage,' guys want to be on this and that. Their wives watch 'Dancing With the Stars' – they want to dance, but they don't know how. You have to have personality; you also have to have business – because this is business, big business. Most guys don't understand that. They don't understand that you have to walk the red carpet - you have to know who Paris Hilton's BFF is, you have to go to the right clubs, and that's part of the business. Not since Dennis Rodman have there been athletes who really, really have crossed over big-time. These two have.
Do you already know what your first topics are going to be?
Football. Then we're also going to talk about the entertainment world, too, because that's what this show is about. It's amazing enough that those two guys are versatile enough to talk about Sarah Palin. Go into a locker room and start asking guys about Sarah Palin and see how much they know.

Say what you want about T.O. and Ocho, but they are two of the best wide receivers of all time. Especially T.O.! His stats speak for themselves!

OK, I'll say that they are both egotistical, overrated, jerks, who play for a lousy team.

Yeah, let's encourage more jerks out there by putting THESE jerks on tv more. Apparently stupidity and arrogance sells! Thank, Versus, for contributing to the dumbing down of America!
