Clipped also stars Kelly AuCoin, J. Alphonse Nicholson, Rich Sommers, Corbin Bernsen, Clifton Davis and Harriet Sansom Harris.

Clipped is based on the ESPN 30 for 30 podcast The Sterling Affairs by Ramona Shelburne. Shelburne serves as an executive producer along with creator Gina Welch and producers Brad Simpson and Nina Jacobson.
