On February 5, 2009, Buck signed with HBO to host a sports-based talk show for the network beginning in May 2009. The show is planned to air four times a year and have a format similar to that of Costas Now, the monthly program previously hosted by Bob Costas. (Costas had left HBO a day earlier to join MLB Network.) Buck will continue his play-by-play duties for FOX.[4]

Joe Buck Live airs tonight/Joe gets body'd by Artie Lange
Since Costas bounced from HBO to go to MLB his show is no longer. Joey Buck takes over and it airs tonight. It's getting some good reviews too.

This can only be better than it's predecessor. It seemed like every episode of "Costas Now" consisted of Charles Barkley & John Mcenroe sitting around looking bored while Bob Costas bitched about steroids in baseball for 10 minutes.

Comedian Steals Spotlight on Buckגs Show
Article Tools Sponsored By
By RICHARD SANDOMIR
Published: June 16, 2009
Artie Lange hijacked Joe Buckגs new HBO show from Brett Favre on Monday night. Thatגs not the way the premiere of גJoe Buck Live,ג the successor to גCostas Live,ג was supposed to go. Lange, a comedian on Howard Sternגs Sirius satellite radio show, stealing the spotlight from Favre, the quarterback who keeps coming back?
Favre had been booked months before he put himself back on the road to another unretirement, and was a great get. Favre and Buck texted each other Monday until Buck was certain Favre was on the plane to New York.
And he delivered bits of news: that Dr. James Andrews performed his shoulder surgery two and a half weeks ago; that heגd talked to the Minnesota Vikings about returning because they run an offense heגs so familiar with that he could teach it; that heגd met with the Vikingsג trainer to discuss rehabilitation exercises and that he had declined Minnesota Coach Brad Childressגs request to attend OTAגs because he canגt guarantee that the surgery will succeed in bringing his arm back to its pre-Jets strength.
The bookend to the show was a panel show featuring Lange, the actor Paul Rudd, and Jason Sudeikis of גSaturday Night Live.ג The latter two need not have shown up for this as was Lange staging a hostile takeover. His scatological, homophobic, insult act was delivered with a sort of blithe and gleeful explosiveness that threw Buck a bit. This 10-minute trap on the stage at the Equitable Centerגs auditorium in Midtown Manhattan was unlike any live TV Buck had ever practiced with Tim McCarver or Troy Aikman.
As Lange was popping off, Buck said, גI was thinking, גHow much longer do we have in the segment?ג I thought that spending time on a treadmill felt long, but that was eight or nine minutes turned into an eternity. But itגs cable. You can get away with it.ג
When Lange left the stage after the segment (which continued for 10 more agonizing minutes on the Internet at hbo.com), Buck said that Lange told him, ג גWas I good? Was that great?ג Thatגs his M.O. Thatגs what he believed he was brought here to do. Heגs a guest, and itגs live TV. Short of hitting a trap door, what are you going to do?ג
Michael Irvin, in the audience after being part of a segment with Bengals receiver Chad Johnson following the Favre interview, could only laugh at the spectacle.
גItגs refreshing to see white-on-white crime,ג he said.
Langeגs shtick, which will be dissected with Stern on Tuesday morning, will be compared ג for the attention it has created ג to last yearגs confrontation over blogging on גCostas Nowג between the writer Buzz Bissinger and Will Leitch, then of Deadspin.
Bissinger kept erupting, creating a fascinating tableau of righteous anger.
But the Lange incident ג which benefited from the artistic freedom that HBO provides ג was not about any particular issue; it was about Langeגs decision that the stage was his to seize. Buck said: גItגs an unfortunate thing that happened. But itגs live. If it were taped, nobody would have seen it.ג
Ross Greenburg, the president of HBO Sports, added: גLive television is all about risk-reward. We knew all about Artie Lange when he was booked. We knew there was a risk factor in where he would go and where he would take us.ג

Comedian Lange crosses the line on 'Joe Buck Live'
By Michael McCarthy, USA TODAY
NEW YORK ג It was train wreck TV Monday night as comedian Artie Lange of The Howard Stern Show took over the maiden taping of HBO's new show, Joe Buck Live.
Lange unleashed a barrage of obscene and homophobic jokes about Buck and Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, while calling singer Jessica Simpson a "fat chick" who resembles the late Saturday Night Live comic Chris Farley.
At the end of the live taping in Manhattan, Buck thanked Lange for putting an end to his show after one episode. Fellow guest Michael Irvin grabbed the microphone and joked: "It's refreshing to see white-on white crime."
The show is sure to draw comparisons to author Buzz Bissinger's tirade against bloggers during a live episode of Costas Now last year.
Buck told USA TODAY he couldn't wait for the Lange segment to end. "I thought that spending time on a treadmill felt long. That was like 8 or 9 minutes that turned into an eternity. You know, it's cable, you can get away with it. It's not my style. But, you do one show and you learn and you move on."
Buck told reporters he thought Lange had an "agenda" when he came on stage to discuss the intersection of sports and celebrity. He was sorry Lange took time away from actors Paul Rudd and Jason Sudeikis of SNL. But Buck said there was little he could do to control the invited guest without "kicking him off the set" or hitting a "trap door."
"It's a thought. A gigantic hook," said Buck.
Standing nearby, HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg said Lange "bordered on bad taste" with his "mean-spirited" tone.
"Look, live television is all about risk-reward. We know who Artie Lange was when he was booked," said Greenburg. "We knew there was a certain degree of a risk factor in where he would go and where he would take us. I think at the end of the day, we'll let the public decide. Much the same way the public decided on the appearance of Will Leitch and Buzz Bissinger. ... The public will have the last say in what they thought of Artie Lange tonight."
Greenburg hoped Lange's antics wouldn't overshadow Buck's one-on-one interview with quarterback Brett Favre who opened up to Buck about his recent shoulder surgery and possible return to the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings.
"He's had a lot said about him and he's had zero chance to answer anything and put it in his own words," said Buck about Favre.
Buck said HBO booked Stern's Sirius Satellite Radio sidekick because he's a "funny guy" and an "enormous" sports fan. "We didn't book him to be crude. We didn't book him to walk and cross some line. We booked him because he's a comedian, he's in town, he's a funny guy and somebody who loves sports."
Controversy's not a bad thing in the TV business, especially when networks are trying to get viewers to try out new shows. Clips of Lange's performance on Joe Buck Live were already ping-ponging around YouTube last night.
"Do I think it went too far? Yes," said Buck. "Will he be back? If it's up to me, no. But again it's live TV man."

Joe Buck is the worst. He's really a fucking boring piece of shit. That's the most press his crappy show is ever going to get.
I was expecting it to be a lot worse given the shitstorm online about it. It's HBO, swear all you want. If choir boy Buck is offended fuck him.
