Bob “The Beast” Sapp certainly knows how to make hay while the sun shines. He has endorsed numerous products and appeared on countless TV shows since landing in Japan last year. It’s even coined a new expression: “as rare as a product Bob Sapp won’t endorse.” Now the 1.9m, 160kg former NFL player has joined the huge Yoshimoto comedy team in his stage debut. The special, to be aired on Yomiuri TV in the Kansai area, will feature local veteran comedians Shimaki Joji and Ikeno Medaka.
