CBS taps Tim Tebow to host Million Dollar Mile, a LeBron James-produced obstacle course reality competition

Deadline

The Heisman Trophy-winning former quarterback (and current Minor League baseball player) will be joined by sports announcer Matt “Money” Smith and ESPN's Maria Taylor on Million Dollar Mile, which will give contestants a chance to win $1 million by competing on one of the most difficult obstacle courses ever created. “Watching good people compete at their highest ability is always inspirational to me,” says Tebow. “Million Dollar Mile is a show that does just that – it motivates, thrills, and is aspirational and I’m excited to be hosting this show.”
