CBS SPORTS NETWORK’S NEW LATE NIGHT SHOW “LEAD OFF” DEBUTS MONDAY, OCT. 22

ALLIE LaFORCE TO CO-HOST “LEAD OFF” WITH DOUG GOTTLIEB

            CBS Sports Network’s new live, late night show, LEAD OFF, which will air weekdays from 12:00-1:00 AM, ET, debuts Monday, Oct. 22.  The show has added Allie LaForce as co-host, teaming with Doug Gottlieb.  LEAD OFF will feature commentary and debate on the top stories and news with a focus on the next day’s conversation.  

Gottlieb and LaForce will lead off together this week as contributors on ROME, which airs on CBS Sports Network from 6:00-6:30 PM, ET.   

            LaForce previously worked for Fox 8 News in Cleveland, Ohio as a sports anchor, as well as a color analyst and sideline reporter for the regional sports network SportsTime Ohio.  She also has been a studio host covering the Mid-American Conference and various high school championships. 

            LaForce graduated magna cum laude from Ohio University’s Honors Tutorial College with a degree in Broadcast Journalism.  She was a member of the Ohio University women’s basketball team for two years, before leaving to start her broadcasting career.  In 2005, LaForce was named Miss Teen USA, the first winner from the state of Ohio. 

LEAD OFF will provide perspective on the sports news of the day, advancing the storylines fans will be discussing in the morning.  The show will serve as the first opportunity for sports fans to discuss and debate what’s next, while featuring a mix of live guests, highlights, energetic debate and commentary from Gottlieb, LaForce and others, reacting to the biggest stories and events of the day, with a targeted focus on the hot topics and tomorrow’s headlines.

LEAD OFF will be produced by dick clark productions, and originate from CBS Sports Network’s Orange County, Calif.-based studio.

  I will echo that, borna.  She always had the presence for the camera and was destined for a national stage.  Excellent and there will be more coming for her, I'm sure.  Thanks for finding this, Ted.

Anybody watch the show last night? It was pretty good for a first show, amusing, they have some work to do but Allie is really, really good. I like Gottlieb more than a lot of other people, he's been very kind to me and I believe the show will end up being excellent.

INteresting thought. Sure you are not more a Miss August guy?

The show is pretty good. SOme hokey segments with the Doctor Schtick (not for non fans of Russ and Rob who demand sports with decorum) but she is really more knowledgable than I had thoguth before.  I am watching the dynamic between her and DG and it seems pretty good till she starts talking about Cleveland. I particularly like the  analysis she has, for example, when talking about Romo she said " when your defense keeps you on the Feild 40 of 60 minutes and you do not put the ball in the end zone coming up on the short end of the scoreboard" is saying it like it is in a way that tells me she has a pretty good look at the game.

Not a big fan of her tOSU lust she has on other social media but it was how she was raised, making her one of the more attractive sheep I know but she is doing well and keeping it off the air and the show is decent fare and a little fresher than most. .  Keep it up Allie. Not sure if the road leads to the ESPN studios but it is a great first step.
