Johnny Weir and the Kentucky Derby.

[pangaia]

I'll watch the Kentucky Derby just because. .. well because Johnny Weir is on it.
Except him and Tara Lipinsky, all the other announcers are pretty much stamped out actors. Bland, blah, boring, predictable, nothing burgers.

He is just "TOO MUCH !!" Which back in my day was the ultimate prop. I love watching him----

And I have changed my mind about Tara Lipinsky. She fits in just right.

GO MENDELSSOHN !!!!!!!!!!!

1. He's fascinating

There was a brief tv series about him--Johnny Be Good, I think?--that might be available someplace. Very enjoyable.

6. I'll look for it.. Thanks..

He also has absolutely exquisite taste in clothes.

And nobody else could ever dress the way he does and pull it off... such panache.

9. He created a character in that series

that was a female Russian sports interviewer that totally cracked me up.

10. Oh, I just got it. That' one of the horses.

I thought you were suggesting that Johnny Weir's life was sort of like an audible.


DUH ME !!!

[pangaia]

11. Isn't a rainy wet track kinda dangerous?

For the horse.... AND the jockeys to see?

[a kennedy]

13. Yes, and hold my breath every time they hit the turf and track. Ugh........so scary

15. The horse Audible came in Third!

Audible, the audible book company, promised that a free copy of "American Pharaoh" would be available to its readers if Audible won the Kentucky Derby.

12. Well, that's that. Back to the real world..

14. AND I HATE THE TV COVERAGE........DAMN NEAR 6 HOURS OF BEFORE, the second the race is over......

it's on to HOCKEY??? SERIOUSLY???? HOCKEY???? I am so pissed, no tv coverage of the trophy presentation, no talking to the jockey, the owner NOTHING. UGH......NBC's coverage sucks. I tried to write to tell NBC how bad they suck, and they wouldn't publish my post. I probably shouldn't say suck so many times........but, THEY DO SUCK in post coverage.

[pangaia]

17. teevee is just a big sucking machine.

foe me, next is World Series !!!

16. Fascinator...ing

[GoCubsGo]

18. I loved his pin!

Johnny and Tara were the best thing about it! I love them! They make a great pair! Don't ever let these two go, NBC!

Speaking of NBC folks, I saw that Eddie Olczyk hit the trifecta! I hope you bet lots on it, Edzo!
