Broadcaster Joe Buck may not be doing play-by-play broadcasts these days due to the coronavirus pandemic, but the lead announcer for Fox Sports has still been keeping busy.

Buck and his wife, Michelle Beisner-Buck, will be featured in Thursday's debut of "Celebrity Watch Party," the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported.

The unscripted, 10-episode series, which will be featured on Fox, will also include Rob Lowe, Meghan Trainor, Raven-Symoné, Master P and Romeo, JoJo Siwa, Steve Wozniak, Curtis Stone, and Robert and Kym Herjavec in its debut episode, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The stars will be featured in their homes and will chronicle how they deal with the coronavirus pandemic while also discussing current events and popular shows, the Post-Dispatch reported.

To maintain his broadcasting chops, Buck went on Twitter last month and urged viewers to send homemade videos for him to narrate. The response was immediate, with lots of entries.

One play-by-play gig Buck rejected was an offer by ImLive, an adult website, which offered him $1 million to commentate 25 live cam shows for six weeks, USA Today reported.

"Celebrity Watch Party" will not be as spicy as a NSFW site, but the show is based on the award-winning British series "Googlebox," according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“Celebrity Watch Party” is a fantastically innovative, clever and culturally relevant format that brings families together to celebrate all the best films, entertainment shows and news on television on any given week,” Rob Wade, president alternative entertainment and specials at Fox, said in a statement last week. “We’ve got some incredible personalities inviting us into their homes and onto their couches for an hour of pure fun with them, their families and the viewers at home.”
