COMPLEX: Exclusive: 'The Shop' to Return This Month With New Hosts Travis Bennett and Steelo Brim
The Shop—originally hosted by LeBron James and Maverick Carter—is making its return this month, and fans can expect to see two fresh faces leading the series into its new chapter.
Travis Bennett and Steelo Brim have been announced as the new hosts of the award-winning show, which will start rolling out fresh episodes on YouTube on June 22. Per show reps, the duo was “handpicked” by James and Carter to helm the series moving forward. In addition to its new hosts, The Shop is also shifting to a weekly release strategy, complete with two special guests for each episode and a focus on more in-depth conversations.
“I watch The Shop, so to become a part of something I’m already a fan of is sick,” Bennett, an Odd Future alum and standout on FXX’s Lil Dicky-led Dave series, said in a statement shared with Complex. “I really care about perspective, because it's the only thing that’s unique to each person. Perspective is so important to share, to receive, and to acknowledge, and I think there’s no better platform than The Shop to showcase that.”
