A year of sport wrapped up for Christmas in brand new Sky Max show hosted by Greg James

The Christmas TV line-up just got snow-much better and sportier as Sky Max is set to bring a brand-new show to screens, Sports Funniest 2023 with Greg James.

This one-off special will see host Greg James joined by sport loving comedian side-kicks including Maisie Adam and Guz Khan as they look back at the biggest, funniest, and most ridiculous stories from the world of sport in 2023.

From Man City’s wild title celebrations to the funniest Martin Brundle F1 interviews, viewers will be bowled over by hilarious monologues, clips, and chats, with surprise guests from comedy, sport and entertainment appearing along the way.

Greg James said: “As a lover of sport and funny things, this show couldn’t be any more up my street. It’s been another unbeatable year of sporting achievements and in amongst it there have been plenty of ridiculous moments too. We can’t wait to celebrate it all.”

Phil Edgar Jones, Director of Sky Arts and Entertainment said: “At Sky Max we take our Sport VERY seriously of course. So seriously that we missed all the funny moments that happened during 2023. So thank goodness for Greg James and the team who are bringing us all the sporting laughs in one glorious place and sending us into the New Year on a belly laugh.”
