Kellerman is definitely capable of generating hot takes with the best of them (his transition to LakersChainGuy.gif literally the second he got a show in LA was awe inspiring) but he might be too self aware to work on they show.

The ceremony itself starts at 7PM Eastern Time (8:00PM BRT), guessing they want to delay it an hour for west coast audiences.

It is more likely they just wanted to add more commercials.

I figured they wanted to avoid any potential live air catastrophes, like a security guard executing another jaguar on camera or some such. Kind of like the pillar in the last Canadian Winter Olympics opening ceremony failing to function, only with more killing of endangered species and what have you.

Delaying it an hour might give them time to finish building the stadium.

They should be looking at this as a opportunity. I'm way more inclined to watch the dumb rich person horse events if they include the possibility of someone being mauled by a wild cat.

I'm still a little pissed that the Barcelona games didn't have the Running of the Bulls as a medal competition.

They could have had World Cup level ratings.

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
Honestly the best thing that ever would happen from a ratings perspective would be for an on air murder to happen. I'm guessing it's more a "what countries can we safely take a commercial during" thing.

It definitely would be a balancing act. You'd probably have to show at least the top 15-20 big countries going through the course or they'd get pissy, but at the same time you don't really want to broadcast Ivan Ivanovich getting gored with a bull horn going right through the Russian flag on his front.

Goff happens to also be the only one at the Score who knows anything about basketball.

I remember listening to Bernstein tell us all how Thibodeau was a cancer in the Bulls organization and how ridding them of it and bringing in offensive guru Fred Hoiberg would turn things around. I know he's just sticking up for his buddy Paxson but it's funny watching him flail away at scapegoats.

The Conan remake sucked. The Total Recall remake sucked. The continued effort to make Terminator a lasting thing has sucked. The Kindergarten Cop sequel sucked. Predators sucked.

Original Running Man was a game show, because they didn't have reality shows. We can do it better now because of that.

Especially if you make it closer to what it was in the novel. Instead of having to do the video check in via mail, he'd be tweeting or something, and then there'd be people all nuts on social media that THEY SAW THE RUNNER!!!!!!

Plus there'd be an awesome scene where a bunch of turds are trying to take selfies with him and they all get cut down by a Hunter.

Remarkable someone got paid to write a screenplay where the line, "Here is SUB-ZERO...NOW, PLAIN ZERO."

That's the best you could come up with? Plain Zero?

I'm pretty sure every screenwriter for Arnold's movies from the 80's and early 90's was paid by the amount of cheesy lines they could fit into the dialogue.

That said, I'd be up for a Running Man remake, but only if it starred O.J. Simpson.
