FanDuel tabs DeMarcus Cousins as co-host of Run It Back
The former NBA athlete will now join Michelle Beadle and fellow NBA veterans Chandler Parsons and Lou Williams for the FanDuel TV offering’s fourth season since launch.
FanDuel has officially brought on former NBA athlete DeMarcus “Boogie” Cousins to serve as co-host of FanDuel TV’s daily NBA show Run It Back, which covers the league’s most prominent games and provides insight for fans around the sport.
“I’m incredibly excited to join Beadle, Chandler and Lou on the Run It Back team,” Cousins said.
“Run It Back has a reputation for authentic takes, and that’s exactly the kind of environment where I thrive. Throughout my career, I’ve always been passionate about the game and never shied away from sharing my honest opinions. Now I have the opportunity to channel that same passion into talking about the sport I love.”
Cousins will now join current Run It Back hosts Michelle Beadle and fellow NBA veterans Chandler Parsons and Lou Williams, as the FanDuel TV offering is also expected to utilize a rotating cast of players and insiders throughout the 2025-2026 season.
“Adding Boogie to our ‘Run It Back’ family represents exactly what we’re looking for – fearless voices with real experience who can connect with our audience,” FanDuel TV Executive Producer and SVP Michael Shiffman said.
“Boogie brings that rare combination of elite basketball knowledge, genuine personality and the ability to break down the game in a way that resonates with both hardcore fans and casual viewers. Boogie’s addition marks a strategic leap forward for ‘Run It Back’ as it enters its fourth season—bigger, sharper and more unapologetically authentic than ever.”
In related news, the operator also formed a new multi-year broadcasting agreement with EuroLeague Basketball on October 20 to extend its previously formed collaboration through 2028.
The collaboration was originally formed in 2024 through the competition’s strategic partner IMG, as select regular season games, Play-In Showdown, EuroLeague Playoffs and Final Four are set to be broadcast on FanDuel networks.
The EuroLeague will feature 20 teams for the first time as part of its 2025-2026 season, including the debut of Dubai Basketball, with select games also set to air on FanDuel Sports Network and stream on the operator’s application.
