NBA superstar LeBron James is the executive producer of the new obstacle race TV show, Million Dollar Mile. On the premiere (Wednesday, March 27, 9pm, CBS), contestants will be given a two-minute head start as they face off against the Defenders, a group of elite athletes. The one-mile obstacle course is designed in the streets of downtown Los Angeles (James plays with the Los Angeles Lakers now). Former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow is the host.
One day prior to the premiere, Raven B Varona, photographer of hip hop celebrity power couple Jay-Z and Beyonce and their OTR II tour, shared a hilarious gif from The Office of Michael Scott (Steve Carell) trying to do a somersault on a sofa and failing.
She wrote: “Me being a contestant on #MillionDollarMile. LeBron James retweeted with a series of crying emoijs. Million Dollar Mile airs Wednesdays at 9 pm on CBS, right after Survivor. [NOTE: Stream any CBS show through CBS ALL-ACCESS.]
