Jordin Sparks Hosts New Roller Jam Competition

Jordin Sparks returns to television as the host of 'Roller Jam,' a groundbreaking roller-skating competition series premiering on Max on October 10. The show features crews from across the U.S. competing for a $150,000 prize and a donation to their local skating rinks, with judges including skating legend Terrell Ferguson and Olympian Johnny Weir. Sparks, who brings her own experience from 'American Idol,' emphasizes the emotional journey of the contestants and the importance of storytelling in performance. The competition will explore various musical eras, enhancing the nostalgic and artistic elements of the show. With significant excitement from the skating community, Sparks noted that the series provides a new goal for skaters, akin to aspiring for the NBA in basketball. This six-episode series is produced by Chip and Joanna Gaines' Magnolia Network and aims to celebrate the evolution and diversity of roller skating.
