Chicago Cubs sign Ryan Dempster to a talk-show host

The Chicago Cubs Ryan Dempster got his way. Called ‘Off the mound with Ryan Dempster,’ he will get into his late-night talk show host persona. Similar to what he does at the Cubs Convention, he will carry on the tradition by extending his company.

The former pitcher came up with the idea because his creative thought was ‘tugging at him.’ Admittedly, he wanted to be more creative in the comedy world. And he thought, ‘Hey? Why not?’

“I wanted the opportunity to expand on a possible comedy career,” he said.

The Cubs are still trying to negotiate with Comcast Xfinity, the largest carrier in the Chicago area.
