Harlem Globetrotters - TV & Films Appearances (2000 - 2010)

Harlem Globetrotters appeared in the 2000 comedy Little Nicky with Adam Sandler, where they are shown losing to the Washington Generals, which is caused by Nicky's demonic brothers.

"Harlem Globetrotters: The Team that Changed the World", a 2005 documentary featuring interviews with the Globetrotters, NBA coaches and fans such as Bill Cosby, Samuel L. Jackson, Barack Obama, Phil Jackson and Henry Kissinger — himself an honorary Globetrotter — and including photos of the Globetrotters with Pope John Paul II.

The animated television series "Futurama" features several episodes in which the Harlem Globetrotters appear as brilliant scientists as well as basketball players. They live on another planet, The Globetrotter Homeworld. Ironically, the Harlem Globetrotters react harshly to anyone who "laughs at their antics" as evidenced in the episode "Time Keeps On Slippin'".

In October 2009 it was announced that a new Harlem Globetrotters animated series was to be produced.

In 2010 five members of the Globetrotters appeared on "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" raising money for charity.









Harlem Globetrotters Tickets are available at Sold Out Ticket Market on nominal rates.
