If the late show's hot show with Stephen Colberg.

My next guest tonight is an Emmy award-winning sportscaster and the host of TNT's Inside the NBA.

Please welcome Ernie Johnson Jr.

Thanks for being here.

You must be a little bit tired because you were in Phoenix last night.

Yeah, the NCAA Championship, Tar Heels of North Carolina.

Yeah, absolutely.

Okay, so there are a lot of games to watch in March Madness, though.

68 teams, how many games? Is it 34 games or something like that?

Well, there's a bunch that first weekend.

Do you have to watch all of them?

Yes, we do. But here's the deal.

I mean, and I tell Charles and Kenny, who I work with all the time, sure.

When they say, oh, these hours are so much, I said, if you had a boss who told you the first two days of the tournament,

all I want you to do is watch March Madness, you'd probably sign up for that.

And so we get to do that, and it's awesome.

And it's a lot of homework.

You know, there's 68 teams and you're expected to know who all the players are.

But you can't possibly know who all the players are.

Oh, you can't.

You can't. So how do you, when a guy makes a play on a team you know nothing about,

how do you BS your way through, not that you ever would?
