_The Old Man and the Three_ finally landed on a replacement for JJ Redick, as the podcast returns with Denver Nuggets forward Cam Johnson after more than a year of searching.
After cofounding ThreeFourTwo productions with Tommy Alter and building _The Old Man and the Three_ into one of the biggest NBA podcasts, Redick left the show and all of his media interests to become head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers last year. Without Redick, Alter [relaunched the podcast](https://awfulannouncing.com/nba/jj-redick-podcast-relaunches-young-man-three-tyrese-haliburton-barack-obama.html) as _The Young Man and the Three,_ featuring a rotating cast of co-hosts and guests. But nearly 18 months later, _The Old Man and the Three_ is back with 29-year-old Cam Johnson filling the void left by Redick.
_The Old Man and the Three_ made the announcement Monday morning alongside Wondery, noting Johnson joins Alter as the podcast’s full-time co-host. Episodes will drop every Tuesday morning with Johnson’s Denver Nuggets teammate Aaron Gordon joining as the first guest for this week’s show on Dec. 2.
“I’ll be taking over _The Old Man and the Three_ pod,” Johnson said in the announcement. “We have a lot of exciting stuff in store for you this season. We’re talking player interviews, analysis, other random things, you name it.”
Despite cutting a less than captivating promo, Johnson seems like a great choice to fill the void left by Redick. He’s a popular teammate, great personality, easy listen, and a pretty good three-point shooter.
“Joining _The Old Man and the Three_ as its new host is a huge honor,” Johnson added in the press release. “JJ, Tommy, and the entire team set the bar high. JJ’s perspective, curiosity, and the respect he earned across the league made this show what it is. To follow in those footsteps and bring my own voice to the table every Tuesday this season means a lot. I can’t wait to get started!”
In addition to the relaunch of _The Old Man and the Three_, _The Young Man and the Three_ will continue with episodes being released every Thursday. Both podcasts continue to feature Tommy Alter and are produced by ThreeFourTwo Productions and Wondery.
