Kornacki also appears on "Football Night in America" so he might have a bad contract/needs the money. I might have to take one for the list and see if the Blake Shelton/Carson Daly show "Barmageddon" is stupider than this apparent train wreck. David On Monday, December 19, 2022 at

I barely know who he is (I did try to watch Top Gear for a few episodes several years ago and could not get what all the fuss was about. But not sure I buy the Rickles analogy. It’s one thing to make watermelon jokes about Sammy Davis Jr; but I don’t recall Don ever going on a rant about, say,
