David Ortiz’s post-career TV adventures are taking another turn.
The retired Red Sox slugger is getting a new reality TV show in which he tries out a variety of more plebeian jobs, adding to his already diverse business portfolio. The 10-part half-hour series, Big Papi Needs a Job, debuts Wednesday, January 31 at 8 p.m. on Fusion.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the jobs Ortiz will be seen doing in the show include stadium tour guide, dog groomer, manicurist, and musician. According to Ortiz’s production agency, the future Hall of Famer also solicited job ideas from pedestrians on the streets of Boston.
