November segments include:

 

  • MEN IN BLAZERS: Bryant Gumbel catches up with the soccer-mad Men in Blazers, Roger Bennett and Michael Davies, as they talk all things FIFA World Cup.  The wildly popular tv and podcast duo offer their take on everything going on in Qatar from labor and free speech issues to the last-minute outlawing of beer sales.

     
  • MAT ISHBIA: Billionaire Mat Ishbia is a very big man on the Michigan State campus these days. The former basketball walk-on credits his business success to lessons learned from his old coach and mentor Tom Izzo, and is now giving back millions to the MSU athletic programs. Correspondent Jonathan Jones reports. Producer: Nick Dolin.

     
  • MIKAELA SHIFFRIN: She is widely considered to be the best female skier on the planet and was the heavy favorite to win multiple medals at last year’s Beijing Olympics.  But when the unthinkable happened, and Shiffrin failed to finish three of her races, millions of viewers around the world were left stunned. In her first in-depth interview since Beijing, Shiffrin sits down with Real Sports correspondent Jon Frankel as she prepares for the upcoming ski season in the mountains of Chile, and opens up about the challenges she faced and the criticism she’s received since the Games. Producer: Chapman Downes.

     
  • QATAR (Update): As the World Cup kicks off this month in Qatar, Real Sports revisits its report on how some of the wealthiest men on earth imported hundreds of thousands of the world’s poorest, then put them to work in conditions that have been compared to modern-day slavery.  Finally, after years of charges of exploitation and untold deaths, the Qatari government promised reforms. But those reforms, critics say, were too little and too late. Correspondent David Scott reports. Producers: Josh Fine, Stephen Lorenzo.

 

The executive producer of REAL SPORTS WITH BRYANT GUMBEL is Joe Perskie.
