NBC

The odds are against you.

This is NBC, the National Broadcasting Company.

[upbeat music] Hanging out at the pool is great.

Relaxing and playing Vegas-style games on my phone at the same time.

And, uh, are...

You know what's weird? Like, last year, the Emmys were on NBC Channel 4, and Channel 4 NBC was not up for one Emmy.

Wow, that is wild.

They broadcast them-

...

but they weren't up for any of them.

They're on NBC this year.

Right.

And, uh, are...

Right.

No, but that's the only explanation.

Season randomly starts on a Wednesday on NBC.

Maybe because to make space for Netflix having a Thursday night game, which I'm guessing is just a precursor to the next few seasons.

They're getting to every

We'll watch it for you and be back in 60 seconds.

Well, the television monitor here is not too... let's say, encouraging as far as the chances of Reggie Jackson coming back into this ballgame because, as Monty was describing the play, we were watching our house monitor here from NBC television, which is... feeding the game nationally around the country.

And Jackson was helped off the bench in the dark confines of the dugout, and it looked as though he was heading toward the exit leading back to the locker room and was being helped by the trainer and the coach who were assisting him with an arm under each shoulder.

So it doesn't look like Reggie Jackson will be playing.

The first game of the series will be played this Saturday and the second game on Sunday.

The starting time of games both days will be at... 1700 GMT, airtime on the parade of sports for games one and two on Saturday and Sunday are the same, 1645 GMT.

The NBC Radio Network will be doing the games again this year, as they have for so many years, along with their TV coverage.

And the announcers will be Jim Simpson and announcers from the two clubs involved, Cincinnati and whoever wins today's game.

If Emmys are on ABC, then I'd say there's hot.

NBC.

Nope.

They're on NBC.

It's not

happening.

[laughs] Like a Scooby-Doo

... doing a game for NBC last night?

From here on out

... yeah, here we go.

Racist?

Racist?

And I understand that Mike Tomlin is now on the NBC crew, and he did halftime with Lisa Taylor, just the two of them.

Yeah.

The defense didn't look too good.

The NBC broadcast featured Mike Tomlin, the longtime Steelers coach.

And I thought he did okay.

He got out over his skis a couple of times and they had to save him.

For Sunday Night Football.

For really whatever he wants to do at NBC, they let him do.

So why don't they ever have guys like Collinsworth do multiple sports and things like that? If you're a good broadcaster, aren't you supposed to be able to do multiple sports, like Tirico, like Bob Costas?

Yeah, but some guys are ...
