Taylor Rooks, a former CBS Sports Network reporter, will host Bleacher Report’s new digital interview-style series “Take it There With Taylor Rooks,” the digital media company announced Wednesday morning.
The new series, which will have a run time of 10-15 minutes an episode, will feature Rooks interviewing popular athletes, celebrities and influencers whom Bleacher Report describes as “newsmakers and trendsetters.” Rather than hosting the interviews in a studio, Rooks will conduct the conversations in locations that have a strong tie to the guest, like their home or favorite coffee shop.
Bleacher Report is currently in the midst of booking guests for the interview-style series, which is expected to premiere in April as part of the company’s “Premiere Month,” which will also see their Emmy-nominated “Game of Zones” and “The Champions” return from a fall hiatus.

Bleacher co-founder Dave Finocchio will step down from the digital media sports company this summer, with Howard Mittman taking over as CEO.
Mittman, who has served as both chief revenue officer and chief marketing officer since August 2017, will begin immediately, ahead of Finocchio’s June departure. After Finocchio leaves, Mittman will report directly to Matt Hong’s Turner Sports’ COO, who has overseen Bleacher Report for the last six years.
“I’m incredibly grateful to the many, many people who’ve helped make B/R so successful, going back to our humble beginnings,” Finocchio said. “This has been the experience of a lifetime, and I believe the work we put in over the past few years, in particular, helps set B/R up for great future success. I will continue rooting hard for Howard and the entire team.”
