Laugh Track....Back To The Future

SiriusXM Radio’s Chris Russo appeared on CBS’ “Late Show” last night and told host David Letterman he has appeared on the broadcast “over 30 times.” He said Leterman helped him “promote all these books, all these radio shows, all these TV things and just been great to me and as a little radio guy, I appreciate it.” Letterman: “Usually, I have many things in sports that aggravate me. I really only have one concern now: the future of baseball and how are we doing with the time of the length of the games?” Russo said, “No matter what they try to do to make baseball quicker and make it sort of 21st century, they are never going to do it, because baseball is a slow, evolving game and games take a long time” (“Late Show,” CBS, 4/23).

CBS’ David Letterman said, “Barry Bonds cleared of all charges now. Remember he was involved in the performance enhancing drugs and steroids and so forth. This guy tested positive for more things than a pint of Blue Bell ice cream” ("Late Show,” CBS, 4/23).

NBC’s Jimmy Fallon said, “I’ve read that many minor league baseball players have been caught using steroids over the past few years. Apparently, not enough steroids” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 4/23).
