The preeminent podcaster is set to engage listeners with her unique insights on Olympic spectacles, introduce illustrious guests, and respond to queries posed by ardent fans on social media. This summer, Alex Cooper, the brains and voice behind the wildly popular 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, will helm a captivating series of interactive watch parties, broadcast live from the Paris Olympic Games on Peacock. Dubbed 'Watch with Alex Cooper', this innovative format will showcase Cooper's insightful commentary on events like soccer, gymnastics, and basketball, while inviting special guests to join the conversation.

"I'm thrilled to partner with NBC and Peacock to introduce this interactive watch-party format for the first time from the Olympics, designed to immerse audiences even deeper into the electrifying atmosphere of Paris. This is going to be a blast!"
Cooper, whose 'Call Her Daddy' podcast reigns supreme on Spotify and other listening platforms, claiming the title of the most-listened-to podcast among women, will also record an episode of the show from the heart of Paris. Additionally, she will collaborate with NBCUniversal to produce additional Olympics-related content ahead of the main events, spanning from July 26 to August 11.
This exciting addition joins the ranks of previous 'Watch with' programming on Peacock, including captivating experiences for 'Bel-Air', 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills', 'The Real Housewives of Miami', and the grand finale of Eurovision 2023.
