TheGrio To Premiere ‘Masters Of The Game’ On Sept. 30

Interviewing living legends in an intimate setting, writer, journalist and critic Touré hosts Masters of the Game, a new show premiering Friday, Sept. 30, at 8 p.m. ET/PT and airing original episodes every last Friday of the month on Allen Media Group’s theGrio cable channel. Subsequent airings will be available on demand and on theGrio’s streaming service via the free app.

In each episode, there is a deep dive as Touré discusses the guests’ craft, brilliance and road to success in a one-on-one conversation. The first guests are tennis superstar Frances Tiafoe in his first long-form interview since the U.S. Open and Jennifer King, the first Black female NFL coach. The show is executive produced by Kash Alexander and producer/director is Christina Faith.

“I’m honored that theGrio has given me this opportunity to talk to the most successful Black people around and to help us all learn from their brilliance. Our conversations will tell us how they became masters of the game,” Touré says. “After doing interviews for over 25 years, these are some of the biggest ones I have ever done. I’m looking forward to sharing these conversations with our audience.”
