Airdate: 2025-Dec-10

Episode summary:

"Boo-Yah" goes beyond the highlights to reveal the man who made millions of fans — and a generation of broadcasters — not only feel seen, but also heard. Featuring never-before-seen archival footage, including self-shot home videos, Stuart himself helped document his rise to prominence, painting an unfiltered and deeply personal portrait of a man who redefined what it meant to be both a journalist and cultural icon. "Boo-Yah" traces Stuart's journey from local television in North Carolina to becoming one of ESPN's most influential voices. At a time when hip-hop and popular culture was often marginalized in mainstream media and few Black anchors held national prominence, Stuart brought both unapologetically to SportsCenter — blending sharp analysis, pop culture and swagger in a way that spoke directly to a new generation of fans.
