Laugh Track: What Can Brown Do For You?

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel said of March Madness, “Sixty four college basketball teams knocked down to 16 in only four days. Are you paying attention to this ‘Dancing With The Stars’ and ‘The Bachelor?’ You're wasting our lives.” Kimmel predicted Steelers WR Antonio Brown as the next winner of the new season of “DWTS.” Kimmel: “He'll win it all. I have to say I feel like picking a football player allows me to keep just a shred of my masculinity.” Brown then appeared on the broadcast via satellite and said he was about to perform his first dance. Kimmel: “Don't even bother, I've just declared you the winner. ... Am I the first person ever to pick you in a fantasy dancing league, Antonio?” Brown said, “You're the first, brother” (“Jimmy Kimmel Live,” ABC, 3/21).

NBC’s Jimmy Fallon said of former WWE star Hulk Hogan being awarded $115M in his lawsuit against Gawker, “Gawker's lawyers say they are appealing, which is more than you can say for the Hulk Hogan sex tape” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 3/21).
