Managing a Star-Studded Panel
Lowe works alongside analysts Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Thierry Henry, and Alexi Lalas during the 12-hour production days.
She described the experience as "herding cattle" in interviews with talkSPORT and the Dan Patrick Show.
Despite the chaotic on-air moments, Lowe emphasized that the team maintains a highly collaborative environment. "They are absolutely brilliant in every way.
Honestly, we have so much fun," she said.
The program has generated viral content, including a video of Ibrahimovic juggling a football off-air that amassed over 77 million views since June 19.
Lowe noted that the show is the most unpredictable she has encountered in her 25-year career. "Sometimes I think in life you need that.
You need to be kept on your toes, and boy, do they keep me on my toes," she said.

"There is no tension, nothing. We're laughing our heads off at all of this," she said.
