Sara Perlman’s career path continued its upward trend, as on Wednesday, NBC Sports EDGE said Perlman will be a sports betting host and content creator.
Perlman also will serve as a host and moderator for PointsBet, the official sports betting partner of NBC Sports. In this role, the company said she will create daily and recurring betting-related video content.
In early February, NBC Sports relaunched Rotoworld.com as NBCSportsEDGE.com. Rotoworld magazines and draft guides now carry the NBC Sports EDGE name, as the company tries to capture more market share in the fantasy sports information arena.
During the 2020 NFL season, Perlman was the host of Talk the Line on FOX Sports. She then shifted to hosting the Countdown to Kickoff broadcast on Radio.com for the NFL postseason.
Previously, Perlman was a reporter covering the Baltimore Orioles for the Mid-Atlantic Sports Networkin 2019.
She also has served as a host on The Daily Line show for NBC Sports.
“The future of sports betting is extremely exciting to me,” Perlman said in a statement. “This is one of the most innovative spaces to be in in sports, and the teams that have been put together at NBC Sports EDGE and PointsBet are terrific. We will be making creative, fun and fresh content daily and I am thrilled to be a part of it.”
Nicolina O'Rorke, SVP, NBC Sports Enterprises and GM, Sports Betting & Gaming added: “We are excited to have Sara join our NBC Sports EDGE team, where she will add her unique perspective and creativity to our talented lineup as we continue to expand our sports betting content.”
“Sara is a tremendous addition to the PointsBet content team,” said Johnny Aitken, CEO of PointsBet USA. “She brings a wealth of experience as both a multimedia talent and a seasoned bettor.”
In addition to adding Perlman to its sports betting content team, the company said Corey Parson has joined as a senior sports betting content creator as well as Vaughn Dalzell, who will be a sports betting content creator.
