A Philadelphia-based TV talk show host and his co-host, a former athlete, bring a sports-centric show to the airwaves, with the host's charming yet trouble-prone personality shining through. At home, his family is just as lively, featuring a wife who keeps him in check, a daughter with a sharp tongue, a self-centered son, and a talented yet reserved son who excels at golf.
