Charles Barkley knows more about television production than Ernie Johnson

Well, sort of.

I didn’t stay up late enough to catch this last night — I know, I’m a baby — but in TNT’s always-amazing postgame show, what appeared to be some typical tomfoolery from the crew was actually a mistake only Charles noticed. Take a look:

Too funny. Can’t believe Ernie didn’t pick up on that before Charles did — and didn’t believe the Chuckster when he pointed out the discrepancy. Usually, EJ keeps things together during the highlight packages, and Charles and Kenny just sort of ramble on about whatever they please. Half the time, it doesn’t even seem like they know highlights are being played. I stand corrected, I guess.

Oh, and also, you know tonight’s show is going to be wild, because Shaq is on set. If the show goes anything like Shaq’s season, he’ll take 80% of the show off, show up at the end, and make a conspicuous early exit.
