NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and Hall of Fame player-turned-media-personality Shannon Sharpe talked about the league’s embrace of YouTube and Sharpe’s experience as a creator.
The pair appeared onstage at YouTube’s Brandcast event for advertisers in New York.
Goodell said the 2023 season was “fantastic” for a number of reasons, but “the best thing was the launch of YT. It was flawless … they brought our game to the fans in a fresh way.”
YouTube took over the rights to Sunday Ticket last year after it had been exclusive to DirecTV for 29 years, paying a reported $14 billion in the deal. The tech giant incorporated product innovations like Multiview and also integrated creators into behind-the-scenes programming by its media arm.
Sharpe now has 3 million subscribers to his chat series channel, Club Shay Shay. The show’s conversation with comedian Katt Williams set a record for an interview on YouTube with more than 69 million views in four months.
“What TV did to sports, Katt Williams did for Club Shay Shay,” Sharpe quipped. The series has gotten between 70% and 80% of its viewership via connected-TV, he added. That data point has led him to work with his production team to explore additional and complementary YouTube content, including potentially something with a daily frequency.
“You have to become obsessed with it,” he said of making content for YouTube.
YouTube and its technology “give you a way to communicate with the fans in a way that we didn’t in the past,” Goodell said. “Creators bring a completely different perspective … and help people enjoy the game more.”

Pat Saperstein Deputy Editor Roger Corman, who died Saturday at 98, was famously involved with many of the greats of filmmaking at the start of their careers. In the case of Ron Howard, he helped the young actor transition from being a child star into a versatile director, giving him his first directing job with the action comedy “Grand Theft Auto” in 1977. Howard noted that Corman was also known for giving women more opportunities than they typically had in the film industry at that time, including Penelope Spheeris and Gale Ann Hurd.

When asked how he would like to be remembered, he said, ‘I was a filmmaker, just that,’” the family said in a statement.Known variously as ‘The Pope of Pop Cinema’ and ‘The Spiritual Godfather of the New Hollywood’, he made his name in the 1960s, creating his own studios New World Pictures and New Concorde, and was awarded an Honorary Academy Award in 2009 for his “rich engendering of films and filmmakers”.His own films were often made quickly with low budgets and specialised in genres such as horror, science fiction and action.Several major names received early credits in Corman’s work, including Nicholson in The Little Shop of Horrors (1960), Scorsese with Boxcar Bertha (1972), Cameron with Battle Beyond the Stars (1980) and Ron Howard with Grand Theft Auto (1977).Howard himself joked that Corman told him during the tumultuous making of his first film Eat My Dust that “if you do a good job on this film, you won’t ever have to work for me again!”Tributes have come in for Corman, with director John Carpenter writing on X: “Roger Corman, one of the most influential movie directors in my life, has passed away.
