Life and career
[edit]The son of author, columnist, and journalist Jonathan Alter,[1] Tommy Alter has been a producer for television talk shows including The Shop, Desus & Mero, and My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman.[2][3][4]
Later, he suggested to then active NBA player JJ Redick to host a podcast for The Ringer.[5] Redick would indeed begin hosting an eponymous podcast for the website, with Alter joining as Redick's co-host for its third season.[5] In August 2020, the two founded their own production company, ThreeFourTwo Productions, so they could own their own media content.[5][6] Alter and Redick launched another podcast through ThreeFourTwo, dubbed The Old Man and the Three.[5] The podcast has featured NBA players on as guests.[7]
