Shaquille O’Neal will be taking a shot at a T-V reality show focused on childhood obesity and health.
A-B-C says the summer series will feature the Miami Heat star and his effort to help Florida schoolchildren lose weight.
The series, being filmed in Broward County, Florida, will track the lives of the children involved. Daily Variety reports O’Neal will be on hand as booster and, in episodes yet to be shot, will lobby politicians on causes including school nutrition.
The show is an adaptation of the British series “Ian Wright’s Unfit Kids,” which featured the former soccer star.
Airdates for the six-episode series haven’t been set.
