Michael Irvin is stepping back into the spotlight-this time with a mic and a camera-on a new platform that’s quickly becoming a player in the sports media game. Netflix has announced The White House with Michael Irvin, a new original sports video podcast hosted by the Pro Football Hall of Famer and Miami Hurricanes legend. The show premieres January 19 and will release two episodes each week, featuring Irvin’s signature energy, a rotating cast of co-hosts, and a lineup of guests that promises to keep things fresh and insightful.
Former NFL All-Pro wide receiver Brandon Marshall is joining the project as both a recurring co-host and producer, bringing his own experience and voice to the table. Most episodes will be filmed out of Netflix’s Miami-based studio, giving the show a home-field feel that matches Irvin’s roots and personality.
This isn’t Irvin’s first rodeo with Netflix. He recently featured in the streaming giant’s docuseries America’s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys, which pulled back the curtain on the 1990s Dallas Cowboys dynasty. He also appeared as an analyst during Netflix’s coverage of NFL Christmas Gameday 2025, signaling a growing relationship between the Hall of Famer and the platform.
The name The White House isn’t just a catchy title-it’s a nod to Irvin’s infamous off-site hangout during his Cowboys days, a story he revisited in the aforementioned docuseries. It's a throwback to a wild, unfiltered era of NFL lore, and it hints at the kind of candid, no-holds-barred conversations fans can expect from the show.
This podcast is part of Netflix’s broader push into original video podcasting. Irvin’s show headlines the first wave of releases, alongside The Pete Davidson Show, which is set to launch at the end of the month. It’s a clear signal that Netflix sees sports talk as more than just a side hustle-it’s a core part of their content play moving forward.
For Irvin, this is just the latest chapter in a long media career that’s seen him transition seamlessly from the field to the screen. After retiring from the NFL, he joined ESPN in 2003 as a studio analyst, becoming a regular on Sunday NFL Countdown and Monday Night Countdown. He later moved into local radio in Dallas, co-hosting a daily show on ESPN Radio 103.3 FM from 2008 to 2010.
In 2009, he added reality TV host to his resume with 4th and Long on Spike TV, a competition series where the winner earned a shot at Cowboys training camp. That same year, he joined NFL Network, where he became a fixture on NFL GameDay Morning and other studio programs for over a decade.
Irvin’s media footprint extends beyond sports analysis. He’s popped up in entertainment projects, including a role in the 2005 remake of The Longest Yard, showing he’s just as comfortable on a film set as he is breaking down game tape.
Of course, before all of that, Irvin made his name in Coral Gables. As one of the greatest players in Miami Hurricanes history, he helped deliver a national title in 1987 and left the program with school records in receptions (143), receiving yards (2,423), and touchdown catches (26). To this day, he’s a constant presence on the Hurricanes’ sidelines, repping "The U" with pride and passion.
Now, with The White House, Irvin is bringing that same energy to a new kind of platform. It’s part sports talk, part storytelling, and all Michael Irvin-raw, real, and ready to go.
