MTV Rock N' Jock was a TV series on MTV featuring actors, musicians, and other entertainers playing sports with professional athletes. Originally called MTV Rock N' Jock Softball, the concept later expanded to include football[1][2] and basketball games. The game was an annual feature (with multiple reruns of most episodes) for many years on MTV.[3][4]
The hosts of the show were Bill Bellamy[5] and future host of MTV Sports Dan Cortese, who would also participate as a manager or coach on occasion. Ken Ober provided the "play by play" for early episodes.[6]
