Before he starts next baseball season with a shot of making The Show, Tim Tebow will be hosting one.

CBS has tapped the former Heisman winner to host Million Dollar Mile, a forthcoming competition series that is being executive produced by LeBron James.

Also hosted by Matt “Money” Smith and Maria Taylor, the show offers contestants $1 million if they can complete a mile-long course full of challenges while also avoiding athletes who are trying to stop them.

“Watching good people compete at their highest ability is always inspirational to me,” said Tebow. “Million Dollar Mile is a show that does just that – it motivates, thrills and is aspirational. I’m excited to be hosting this show.”

Big Brother executive producers Allison Grodner and Rich Meehan are also involved with the production of the show, as is James’ business partner Maverick Carter.

A premiere date for the show hasn’t been set but it is currently being produced in LA.
