Jimmy Kimmel & Cousin Sal To Co-Produce Original Videos With Omaha Productions

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Omaha Productions today announced that "Cousin Sal" Iacono and Mush Media are partnering with the Omaha Audio Network presented By Caesars Sportsbook.

As part of the collaboration, Mush and Omaha will also team up with Jimmy Kimmel to write and produce original videos and other programming that will be distributed across Omaha Productions' social channels.

"I'm very excited to join the Omaha family. Over the years I've won so much money betting on Peyton and Eli I feel like I should be paying them. But since the contract is already signed, I think we're good," said Mush Media Co-Founder Cousin Sal.

"Cousin Sal has been making sports fans laugh for two decades. He's built a great reputation by delivering fans content in a fun and authentic way," said Omaha Productions Founder Peyton Manning. "Having the opportunity to team up with him and Jimmy to create original audio and video is an exciting next step as we continue to build Omaha."

As presenting sponsor, we at Caesars Sportsbook look forward to continued collaboration with Omaha to bring more unique content and unforgettable events to life."

"Adding Cousin Sal's podcasts will further broaden our sports betting content across multiple platforms providing even more options for our passionate fanbase in that space."
