Maria Taylor and Lorne Michaels team for The History of the Black Quarterback docuseries for Peacock
-
The eight-episode NBC Sports docuseries will explore trailblazing Black quarterbacks who faced bigotry and prejudice as they progressed. “This history and these stories are something I’ve wanted to do for some time, as they are reflective of our much larger national conversation,” said Taylor. “And almost as soon as I started at NBC, (Michaels') Broadway Video and I began discussing it with (NBC Sports chairman Pete Bevacqua). To see it being done on this level is thrilling.”
