Laugh Track: Betting Man

Comedian Bill Burr appeared on TBS’ “Conan” last night and discussed athletes using PEDs, saying he does not “mind people using ‘roids.” Burr: “By time we're 80, they're going to have a steroid vaporizer that you can just inhale and you’re going to have abs and I’ll get a full head of hair. ... It's all going to be because of these athletes and the sacrifices that they make that no one appreciates.” Burr, who is from Massachusetts, also talked about rooting for the Patriots in the Super Bowl, “A bunch of people are going to put money on the Patriots, so if the line moves far enough, take the Falcons with the points. I think it's going to be a classic, and you should bet the under. Whatever everybody is saying walking around the casinos, like, ‘Dude, it’s going to be a shootout,’ always go the opposite way” (“Conan,” TBS, 1/30).

CBS’ Stephen Colbert noted President Trump “will be announcing his Supreme Court pick tomorrow at 8:00pm, live from the White House! It'll be the most exciting Supreme Court announcement since Justice Kagan burst through a banner at the Super Bowl halftime show” (“The Late Show,” CBS, 1/30).
