Charles Barkley Tricked Ernie Johnson To Say Kevin Love's Name So The TNT Crew Could Make A Bunch Of Slug Jokes

Best show on television and it ain't that close. Charles Barkley was foaming at the mouth to make a bunch of slug jokes. He probably spent the entire time during the pre-show practicing jokes and writing them on his notepad. All he wanted to do was fire off jokes with his buds. But the problem was he needed a setup. He couldn't just do it himself. So what does he do? Trick Ernie Johnson into saying Kevin Love so he could start it all. Veteran move by Chuck. 

And then they absolutely nail it: 

Slug Life, Bone Slugs n Harmony, he's such a slug, it's criminal. All 10 out of 10 jokes because of how perfectly executed it all was. 

The best part though is Ernie realizes he walked right into it. You can see him lean back like goddamnit what did I get myself into? That head turn and sigh is an EJ special, he knows what's about to happen. He just has to hope that he can reel it back in shortly. Let the kids have their fun and then dad steps back in. 

Just perfect execution by Chuck.
