Synopsis

From HBO Sports and Street Smart Video comes Wild Card: The Downfall of a Radio Loudmouth – a story of fame, greed, excess, and deceit, charting the rise and fall of prominent New York sports radio personality Craig Carton. Through a series of intimate, candid first-person interviews with the man himself, the film reveals how Carton’s secret, insatiable gambling addiction – financed by an illicit ticket-brokering business – brought his career to a sudden halt in September 2017, when he was arrested by FBI agents and charged with conspiracy, wire fraud, and securities fraud. Directed and produced by Martin Dunn and Marie McGovern, this feature documentary details the sudden demise of one of the nation’s most popular and irreverent radio personalities, whose secret double life ultimately landed him in federal prison.
