Comedienne Sarah Silverman was a guest in the FOX broadcast booth last night in New York, and the resulting back-and-forth between she and broadcaster Joe Buck is just about as dreadful as you can imagine. It’s not Silverman’s fault—when you’re trying to play off the humorless Joe Buck, 99% of the time you’re going to fail. Tim McCarver provides the occasional grunt in acknowledgement to make sure the pair know he still has a pulse, but as far as providing any meaningful dialogue to the conversation, McCarver’s a non-entity…just like during a normal broadcast.
Too bad Buck didn’t follow his compatriot’s lead on this one and just let Silverman do her thing. Anything would have been better than the six minutes of awkwardness viewers were subjected to during the FOX’s Yankees-Red Sox coverage.
If you can stand it, here’s six minutes of the worst TV you may ever watch this side of Jersey Shore…
