JASON GARFIELD

Jason Garfield started off as a World Champion Juggler. He then single-handedly founded the World Juggling Federation and compelled ESPN to air sport juggling competition programs he developed and produced with Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller) as the host and commentator. Later, Jason reformatted an unstructured game jugglers play late at night into a team sport for ESPN, Combat Juggling. Jason took it a step further and created a new event called SkillCon — a convergence of outside-the-box sports — and produced a program from those sports for ESPN called "The Moxie Games." With the ubiquitous skills present at SkillCon, Jason formed a hybrid sport combining dodgeball with juggling and named it "Dodge Juggle," and once again compelled ESPN to air multiple Dodge Juggle programs. In 2024, Jason attracted the attention of the Olympics, and the Paris Olympic Committee commissioned Jason to produce a sport juggling competition in Paris featuring the best of the best, which Jason quickly turned around in just one month to air on ESPN.

Now Jason has taken his love of crypto trading and the inherent skill traders possess and formatted it into an ESPN-ready sport — and has already been given the green light for air time.
