Dubbed “Fan Night,” each week Rashad, Webber and Payton encourage fans to log on to NBA.com to vote for the NBA matchup they would like to see televised on NBA TV the following Tuesday. Launched in fall 2008, Fan Night marks the first time a national network has enabled fans to consistently select game telecasts throughout the season.

He also hosted ABC’s top-rated reality shows Celebrity Mole Hawaii and Celebrity Mole Yucatan.

Rashad, a star running back and receiver at Oregon, played 11 seasons in the NFL, earning four Pro Bowl selections. He was selected to the Minnesota Vikings’ 25th and 40th Anniversary Teams. He began his broadcasting career with NBC in 1983, covering the NFL, NBA, the Olympics, and many other sporting events during his tenure with the network. He also has served as host of Later on NBC and the nationally syndicated shows Real TV and Entertainment Tonight.
