We very rarely watch any type of pre-game show but for some reason (divine intervention, perhaps?) we ended up sitting through TNT's unveiling of the NBA All Star starters last night. It actually wasn't half bad since they let the hosts have a conversation instead of giving canned sound bites. Things got even better when they inexplicably decided to give Tracy Morgan a microphone on live television. On the "Crazy Scale" that decision he falls somewhere between giving one to Kanye West and Charles Manson. For anyone unfamiliar with his work, let's just say the character Tracy plays on "30 Rock" doesn't really require him to stretch his creative muscles. Whether its real of he's playing a character all the time, he generally comes off as a bit of a nut job. Needless to say, our interest was peaked as we anticipated potential disaster. We were not disappointed as he gave us what are being called "suggestive" comments about the Queen of Alaska herself, Sarah Palin.
Ahh, the joys of live television. Did you see the "get us the hell out of here" look Ernie Johnson gave off camera? Priceless.
