Charles Barkley Calls Co-Hosts A–holes Video – Basketball fans everywhere are likely familiar with the funny antics and commentary of Ernie, Kenny and Charles on TNT’s Inside the NBA.
And Tuesday night was no different when retired basketball star Charles Barkley called his TNT co-hosts a**holes on live TV, which is nothing out of the ordinary for the outspoken analyst.
During the T-Mobile halftime show of the playoff game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Oklahoma City Thunder, a segment dubbed “Ask Charles” featuring fans sending a video question to Barkley was aired.
A couple of young women asked, “Hi Charles, we were just wondering what do you like better – brunettes or blondes?”
Speechless at first and appearing to be caught off guard, a blushing Charles chuckled, requesting to speak with producers who were responsible for allowing the question to air – before eventually answering “Blondes!” He then proceeded to call Ernie and Kenny a**holes going into a commercial break.
For those that don’t know, Barkley was likely a bit embarrassed by the situation, as he was arrested for a DUI on December 31, 2008. According to the police report, he told officers on the scene that he ran a stop light because he was in a hurry to pick up a girl walking down the street to give him oral sex.
While Barkley was being his usual joking self, he apologized later in the broadcast for his vulgar choice of words toward his colleagues. We imagine the FCC may have slight concerns but nothing too serious. And we’re sure TNT won’t be firing their “high-ratings” host for this type of behavior.
I think too much was made of that. This isn’t 1952. Lighten up. Is anybody going to need to call Dr. Phil and get counseling now because of it? I thought it was hilarious. Charles makes the halftime show. He’s funny as hell and Charles is a very smart dude too. So like I said Lighten up and get over it. As a fan I like for people to talk how they really talk. Be real. I gotta go call Dr. Phil because I’m so devistated over what Charles said. My life will never be the same. I think I’ll get p*ssy drunk, That way I can forget about it. Yeah, that’s what I’ll do. You guys just keep up the good work, and who ever complained needs a life, or an a*s kicking, that a*s hole. Woops did I say that?
