Taped my appearance on the Best Damn Sports Show, which will be airing Wednesday.
Was sad, actually. Have been on the show four times. Always enjoy the experience—the host, Chris Rose, is an excellent guy; the producer, Laura Marcus, is wonderful. It gets me out to Los Angeles, a place I truly love. Yet learned today that, come June, Best Damn will be no more. Canceled. Axed. After seven seasons. Say what you want about the program—silly, inane, etc. (I hate the Hooters stuff they do, a sorta tasteless objectification of women) But they kept it loose and fast (Chris told me it’s been seven years of college), brought in a wide swath of athlete hosts from different sports and, most important (to me) gave authors a voice.
So I’m sad—and I wish the show’s crew well …
