Billiards Legend Allison Fisher Teams with Producer Monty Hobbs on TV, Books, and Brand Expansion

When you’ve won over 80 national titles and 11 world championships, the question isn’t really what’s left to prove. It’s what comes next. For billiards champion Allison Fisher, that next chapter is taking shape through an unexpected partnership with award-winning entertainment producer Monty Hobbs, and it’s bigger than either of them might have imagined a few years ago.

Fisher and Hobbs just announced a wide-reaching collaboration that covers television production, children’s literature, and brand development. It’s not a one-off documentary or a quick licensing deal. They’re building something meant to last decades.

Hobbs runs Just Do GOOD Entertainment, the production company behind titles like Finding Kindness and Divine Renovation. His latest project, Secrets of Sampson, is a southern docu-drama series launching soon. He’s got distribution deals with Amazon Prime, Apple TV, Roku, Tubi, and UP Faith & Family, the kind of reach that turns regional stories into national viewing.

What caught his attention about Fisher wasn’t just her competitive record. It was the untapped potential in her story and what it could become across multiple formats. So they’re launching three major projects simultaneously.

First up is GRACE THE TABLE, an original television series where Fisher co-hosts alongside families, chefs, and cultural voices. The concept centers on meals and the stories that happen around them. Not competition, not instruction, just genuine human connection over food. Think less cooking show, more cinematic storytelling with comfort at its core. Hobbs is producing it with what he calls “radical nostalgia with global commerce potential,” which really just means making something that feels timeless but can travel worldwide.

The second project is a children’s book and youth empowerment series. It’s anchored in the values Fisher built her career on: resilience, character, emotional courage, but aimed at younger audiences. The plan isn’t to stop at one book. They’re looking at a full series, speaking curriculum, and digital learning materials. It’s designed to work in schools and youth programs, not just bookstores.

Third is the brand and licensing system. This covers everything from premium lifestyle collaborations to memoir-related content, archival digital collections, and streaming distribution. Essentially, they’re creating a framework to preserve Fisher’s legacy while actively using it across different platforms and products.

But the on-camera work has already started. Fisher’s confirmed to guest star in Episode Two of The Color of Kindness, a national series filming in Phoenix, Arizona. She’s not just making an appearance. She’s being written in as what they’re calling “a transformational narrative presence” in a show built around empathy and impact.

The public debut of this partnership happens December 6th in Clinton, North Carolina. Fisher will appear live alongside Erik Estrada, Blake Davis, and the cast of Secrets of Sampson at an industry event Hobbs is hosting. It’s part celebration, part official announcement, and likely the first real look at where all this is headed.

The timing makes sense when you consider where Fisher is in her career. She’s got decades of competitive history, growing digital visibility, and a public that genuinely respects what she’s accomplished. Hobbs has a track record of building media and brand systems with staying power. Put those together, and you’ve got an opportunity to do more than document a career. You can extend it into new territory entirely.

“This is not about capturing nostalgia,” Hobbs said. “It’s about engineering the next forty years of cultural relevance. Allison is not a chapter: she is a catalog.”

There’s a broader trend here worth noting. Sports legends are increasingly taking control of their own narratives instead of waiting for someone else to tell their stories. They’re building businesses, launching media companies, creating content platforms. Fisher and Hobbs seem to be ahead of that curve rather than chasing it.

Hobbs’ existing work supports the scale they’re aiming for. His projects blend streaming distribution with live events, civic tourism partnerships, and physical retail executions across smaller American cities that don’t typically get this kind of attention. Secrets of Sampson is following that same hybrid model. Fisher’s projects will likely benefit from that established infrastructure.

The partnership also has personal roots. Hobbs and Allison’s mother, Christine Fisher, have been close friends for years, a relationship he describes as full of laughter and fun.

What starts in Clinton on December 6th won’t end there. Fisher’s television work continues into next year. The book is in active development. The licensing framework is being built out. This isn’t a short-term publicity push. It’s infrastructure meant to carry forward for years.

For Fisher, it’s a way to take everything she’s built in one arena and translate it into multiple formats that reach different audiences. For Hobbs, it’s another example of finding stories worth telling and building systems that can tell them properly. Together, they’re betting on something meant to outlast both of them.
