Former late-night talk show host David Letterman says he has partnered with fellow comedian Billy Crystal to acquire an Australian rugby team with the goal of launching a television docuseries.
Letterman made the apparent revelation in a YouTube video published on Thursday, in which he claimed to have purchased the South Sydney Rabbitohs, a professional rugby team that participates in the National Rugby League (Nrl). Team officials told a reporter with the Telegraph newspaper they have no knowledge of the apparent transaction.
Letterman said he was inspired by fellow comedians Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, who purchased the Wrexham Association Football Club nearly four years ago. The club was promoted to the English Football League last April.
Reynolds and McElhenney brought Wrexham to an international stage through the television docuseries “Welcome to Wrexham,” which aired for two seasons on Disney-owned cable channel FX and is available to stream on Hulu.
