A Deeper Look Inside the Wild & Wacky World of Murphy Jensen
Some of you real tennis junkies might recognize this face from the countless hours of Tennis Channel that you watch. Murphy is especially well known for his outlandish run-ins with pro tennis stars & celebrities on the Tennis Channel show "Open Access", as well as his classic travel show "Murphy's Guide".
"Murphy's Guide" is a travel show for tourists going to a particular city where a major tennis tournament is taking place, such as Paris, London, New York, Melbourne, and more. At least one major player appears at some point in the episode, and there is usually a brief segment about where enthusiasts of the game can play when in town, but the show's content mainly features Jensen attempting to navigate the city's sights, trying exotic food, and interacting with locals in his unique style. Through his experiences and misadventures, however, specific travel information about local hotels, restaurants, and attractions is conveyed, often with the help of animated maps and graphics. Many episodes also feature a scripted opening sequence, such as Jensen being made to walk the plank by the pirates of Treasure Island in Las Vegas, being psychoanalyzed by Sigmund Freud in Vienna, and impersonating James Bond and Crocodile Dundee in London and Melbourne, respectively.
