The Art of the Sports Super Agent
In the high energy, multi-billion-dollar world of professional sports, athletes need someone they can trust. Someone who's a friend...an advisor..a big brother. Someone who's more than just an agent-more like a super-agent! That someone is Arliss Michaels.
Robert Wuhl starred in this hilarious HBO comedy series Arliss for seven seasons, taking the world of sports by storm, and hooking more than a few real-life sports-stars into his world. Truth or fiction? The line gets blurred with laughter.
Now exclusively on DVD, this 13-episode "best-of" captures some of the greatest moments in the career of sports agents Arliss Michaels, joined by a "who's who" of sports celebrities including Marcus Allen, Ernie Banks, Yogi Berra, Roger Clemens, Tonya Harding, Juwan Howard, Roy Jones, Jr., Tara Lipinski, Tommy Lasorda, Cheryl Miller, Pete Sampras, George Steinbrenner, Dave Winfield, and Barry Zito, not to mention guest stars like Edward Asner, Seymour Cassel, James Coburn and John Rhys-Davies.
It's a comedy for sports fans, and great sport for comedy fans-the "best of" both worlds.
