Rick Fox’s Lady Eliza Dushku Cast As ESPN’s Michelle Beadle For CBS Pilot

We told you previously of Damon Wayans being cast in a CBS pilot as a character based upon ESPN personality Colin Cowherd.

Now comes word that actress Eliza Dushku has been cast as Michelle Beadle, another ESPN personality, and Cowherd’s co-host on the netork’s Sportsnation show. Beadle is also the YES Network’s New Jersey Nets reporter.

The chemistry between Cowherd and Beadle is so electric that some have questioned whether or not the two have had more than a working relationship.

Eliza Dushku has her work cut out in going toe-to-toe with the comic Wayans. I’m sure there will be plenty of funny bloopers.

Dushku is the lady love of NBA Champion and former Los Angeles Laker, Rick Fox.

Speaking of Fox, it would be nice to see him reprise his role on BET’s The Game. His storyline/relationship with character Tasha Mack was one of the shows best.
