Plot Synopsis

ONION SPORTSDOME is a 30-minute rundown of sports news with analysis, scores, and highlights -- plus, rumor-mongering and petty personal attacks. The show is co-anchored by Mark Shepard and Alex Reiser. Reiser earned a seat at the SPORTSDOME desk in 1995 after working his way up from the mailroom, showing the persistence needed to repeatedly knock on the office door of the VP of OSN programming and shout highlights from the night before at the top of his lungs. Mark Shepard has been with SPORTSDOME since 2005, when he parlayed the suicide of a World Backgammon Championships commentator into his first on-air appearance, impressing producers enough to install him behind the storied SPORTSDOME anchor desk.Shepard and Reiser are joined by: senior sports insider Reggie Greengrass, who needs nine BlackBerries to hold the phone numbers of all the athletes he knows; update anchor Melissa Wells, who holds more journalism degrees than the rest of her colleagues put together; "Wish Zone" host Jay Woodworth, who makes terminally-ill children's dreams come true as long as they are sports-related; analyst Doc Webb, who holds the SPORTSDOME record for the number of athletes he's referred to as "overpaid garbage;" and investigative reporter Marc Howell, who, mines sports' most tragic elements for awards and ratings gold.
