Sports Soup was a weekly series airing in the U.S. on Versus. The show (first airing October 14, 2008), hosted by Matt Iseman, satirizes recent events in sports and the stations that cover them in similar fashion to sister network E! Entertainment Television's series The Soup (and is produced by the same crew as that show, and on the same soundstage). The show features Iseman in front of a green screen and also features the same audience, their cast & crew (a similar setup to The Soup).
