Fans won't have to wait much longer to see J.J. Watt on television.

The Houston Texans star defensive end's highly-anticipated primetime game show, "Ultimate Tag" will premiere May 20 on FOX.

As executive producer, Watt co-hosts the new show along with his two brothers T.J. and Derek, who play for the Pittsburgh Steelers. With professional sports paused due to COVID-19, Watt made a plea to show producers to release the game show series early.

Have watched everything on Netflix.
There’s no sports on TV.

FOX, idk how this all works from a logistics standpoint, but can we somehow release Ultimate Tag early?

We could all use some entertainment.
(and let’s be honest, TJ trying to read off a teleprompter is gold)

So, it may be no coincidence that less than 24 hours later, FOX released a never-before-seen trailer and announced next month's series premiere.

Entertainment is on the way!

Everyone has played it,
just never quite like this.

We found some of the best athletes on the planet (and a few of the weirdest & most psycho) and put them in our own massive jungle gym.

Just one rule:
Don’t. Get. Caught.
