One-hour special will feature the first coach
to ever win both the college football national championship and
Super Bowl and a collection of celebrity guests competing in
fishing competitions and sharing stories
Hall of Fame Village Media (“HOFVM” or the “Division”), a
premier, multi-dimensional content studio owned by the Hall of Fame
Resort & Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: HOFV, HOFVW) (“HOFV”),
today announced that it has partnered with legendary football coach
and media personality Jimmy Johnson on a new tentpole special
titled Gone Fishin’. The premise of Gone Fishin’ will entail Jimmy
and his celebrity guests competing in friendly competitions
centered on a sport he may love even more than football – fishing!
What’s more, Jimmy – who more than likely can be found on the water
(except on Sundays in the fall of course!) – and his high-profile
passengers will explore the camaraderie, storytelling and life
lessons that are shared on the water.
HOFVM anticipates releasing Gone Fishin’ during the lead-up to
the 2023 Super Bowl and is currently in discussions with multiple
prominent television networks to air the special. The Division
envisions Gone Fishin’ eventually becoming a semi-regular project
in its rotation given the high level of popularity Jimmy enjoys
with sports fans around the world as a result of his success both
on and off the football field. In addition to being the first coach
to win both the college football national championship and Super
Bowl, Jimmy is considered one of the most beloved media
personalities today for his always-entertaining television
performances.
“We are thrilled to join forces with Hall of Fame Coach Jimmy
Johnson on Gone Fishin’ and enable his legions of fans to see his
personality shine through in a different environment than they are
accustomed – on the water, a place he absolutely loves to be,” said
Olivia Steier, Executive Vice President of Media for the Hall of
Fame Resort & Entertainment Company. “Jimmy, like so many Pro
Football Hall of Famers, is a big supporter of HOFV and the Hall of
Fame Village, and we are honored to leverage his unique charm and
character to produce original content that we feel will be
captivating and well-received by networks and audiences alike.
Jimmy was born to coach football, fish and entertain, so we look
forward to sharing with him many laughs while learning more about
those moments that have impacted both his and his guests’ lives and
careers.”
Gone Fishin’ will film off the coast of the Florida Keys, and
take place aboard Jimmy’s boat, a 39-foot SeaVee called Three Rings
(named for the number of championship rings he won in his career –
one at the University of Miami and two as head coach of the Dallas
Cowboys). Filming is expected to commence and conclude over the
summer.
Jimmy stated, “There’s nothing like being out on the water, and
I am beyond excited to share this new adventure with some of the
most well-known athletes and personalities in the world. There is
so much one can learn from others’ company while being on a boat,
and I look forward to getting to know my fellow fishermen and
fisherwomen on a deeper level. I appreciate Hall of Fame Village
Media for bringing this idea to life and for providing a platform
that will allow me and my guests to share more about who we are as
people – not just celebrities.”
Gone Fishin’ is the latest in a string of projects announced by
HOFVM, which also includes THE PERFECT TEN, Inspired and The
Academy.
