"Shaq’s Big
Challenge" premiers on ABC
Shaq's latest TV appearance "Shaq’s
Big Challenge" premiers tonight on ABC.
Finally we can see Shaq on his new TV show which will premier
tonight on ABC. Shaquille O’Neal, chef Tyler Florence
and Shaq’s coach at Louisiana State University, Dale Brown, will
try to help reform six overweight Florida middle school pupils.
The ABC pitch reads: "Childhood obesity
is a fast-growing epidemic in the U.S. Obese children face a
shorter lifespan due to weight-related illnesses such as
increased risk of heart disease and diabetes. But hope has
arrived for America's children. Shaquille O'Neal, a four-time
NBA champion and a role model to millions, is on a quest to
battle this scourge and help kids across America live more
healthfully."
As the show opens, O'Neal is going to
the kids’ homes to meet them and their parents for the first
time. All of the kids are medically obese. They will work with
Shaq, Florence and Brown to help overcome the problem through
diet, training, and of course, through moral support from the
"likable giant".
It would be great to see Shaq NOT doing a TV
commercial.
