Source-derived summary

Express Written Consent is an American talk show produced by MLB.com and hosted by Jeremy Brisiel (JB) that takes place in Major League Baseball ballparks. Guests have been actors, musicians, athletes, writers and other celebrities. With a baseball game as the backdrop, conversations often reveal the guests' connection to baseball - their favorite baseball memory, favorite teams or favorite players. Guests also discuss their craft and current projects as they do on traditional talk shows. Occasionally, guests have done play by play as themselves or in the voice of their most famous characters. The show relies on a unique environment and friendly games to reveal new facets of each guest.

EWC Games

Start, Bench, Cut is a game JB plays that creates a lighthearted but difficult decision for the guest. Similar to another parlor game, the guest is given a personalized list of three things - usually something personal, like characters they've played, musicians they like, or favorite ball players - and the guest has to Start one, Bench one and Cut one. Whatever is 'Started' is in the lineup every day. Whatever is 'Benched' is available for the lineup occasionally.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Express Written Consent” as uS television program. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA useful identification and reception guide that helps separate the work itself from editions, performances, ownership and later interpretation. The current 191-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Express, Written and Consent can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as uS television program. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 3, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q18391986.

Critical limits

Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
