FanDuel TV has officially debuted its newest show, The Comeback with Craig Carton, which focuses on problem gambling recovery and covers topics such as money management, support services, self-exclusion, responsible gaming (RG) tools and more.
“As someone who has personally navigated the challenges of gambling addiction, I understand the impact it can have on your life and the lives of those you care about,” Carton said.
“The road to recovery isn’t easy, but I’ve committed myself to helping others who are facing similar struggles. My mission for this show is to inspire hope, offer support and remind everyone that the path to regaining control starts with understanding.”
For The Comeback, Carton will sit down with those who have experienced the “highs and lows” of gambling addiction to break down the stigma surrounding gambling disorders as well as raise awareness of support resources for individuals and their families.
As part of the first episode, Carton speaks with former 11-year NBA veteran and recovered problem gambler Randy Livingston about his history with wagering. Livingston’s wife, Anita Ondine Smith, also joined to describe the struggles she faced as a spouse, the warning signs she saw in Livingston and how their marriage is now “stronger than ever.”

“Our hope for The Comeback With Craig Carton is to raise awareness of problem gambling and foster open dialogue to tackle the stigma that still exists today,” FanDuel SVP of Public Policy and Sustainability Cory Fox said.
“Whether those conversations are amongst friends, spouses, parents or coaches, we want to educate our audience on what the warning signs are and be comfortable asking for help.”
Carton became the first RG ambassador for FanDuel during 2021 and started the Responsible Gaming College Tour, which aims to educate college students about the risks associated with gambling.
