Syd + TP, the uproarious sketch comedy series wrapping up its season finale on Monday on the Maximum Effort Channel and streaming on Fubo, began as a lighthearted joke. Featuring WNBA players Syd Colson and Theresa Plaisance, the show follows their endeavors to become “The Faces of the League” despite being self-described career bench warmers. The series delves into a topic avidly discussed among fans – the growth and support of player talent within the exclusive WNBA. Fans are even taken by surprise when TP is unexpectedly cut from her team, adding an unexpected twist that’s approached with a serious heart in the show. With 20 years of combined WNBA experience and championship titles under their belts, the outlandish duo is determined to claim a spotlight. Despite their lesser play time, Syd and TP have admirably carved out a niche, with Syd gaining a sizable fanbase for her quick wit and memes. Having found a kindred spirit in TP while with the Las Vegas Aces, the pair’s partnership naturally evolved into The Syd + TP Show, artfully directed by Carly Usdin. This amusing and off-the-cuff show is reminiscent of an unpredictable road trip with friends, full of laughter and memorable moments. With Syd’s eye-catching performance in a crucial game, the pair’s amusing quest might not be as far-fetched as one might think. Syd and TP’s comical depiction of their aspirations is a breath of fresh air and thoroughly entertaining, resonating with new and avid WNBA fans alike.
