Barkley said when Ernie retires, he's done. So won't be much of a reason to watch that show anymore.

Hopefully Barkley retires from the NCAA Tournament coverage as well.

Best sports show out there. Haven't watched many NBA games in 10 years but I sure have watched these guys joke around many times. Feels like my extended family. Authentic show. Will be the last of its kind.

I used to work with a guy who had worked in the studio there (behind the scenes). He said EJ was an exceptionally nice guy, not just while the cameras were rolling but to the people behind the scenes as well.

What a great guy and what a fun show that has been! Like HolySmokes wrote, I too watch it more than the games (except playoffs, when I actually start paying attention to the actual games).

It's an old joke on the paddock, when someone died, someone would reply with a similar person and say RIP.

Ernie is the man.

Those guys all seem sincere in what they said too. I didnt know Kenny had been there the longest of the former players. I knew Shaq was newest.

Man I’m thinking about my retirement(well before 70) and how I’ll leave my office after getting a Bundt cake at lunch. Ernie Johnson over hear having Charles Barkley crying on national television.
