It's the Brian Larris show on WNYC. Good morning, everyone.

David Remnick is with us, the editor-in-chief of the New Yorker and host of the New Yorker Radio Hour,

which the magazine and we here at WNYC produced together.

We'll talk about this morning's midterm elections news, some media news, including CBS firing Scott Pelly, after he criticized their new boss, Barry Weiss.

That broke last night.

Yes, we will talk about the Knicks, opening their first NBA finals in 27 years tonight

and hoping for their first championship since 1973.

David wrote a, I'll call it, euphoric New Yorker piece about that.

And we'll preview a live taping David will be doing for the New Yorker Radio Hour next week

as part of the Tribeca Film Festival with former Obama speechwriter and now podcast host

John Lovett. That'll be next Wednesday, June 10th at 815 p.m. at the Tribeca event space

called Spring Studios on St. John's Lane. So David, I did the event plug at the top instead of just at the end

of our conversation. Wasn't that nice of me? You're a total minch. And at the cost of

stretching your patients then, I'll be at the Y tomorrow night with my colleagues, Evan Osnose,

and Susan Glasser and Jane Mayer, the 92nd Street

Y to talk politics is a lot to talk about.

Yes, tomorrow night at the 92nd Street Y.

In fact, we had Susan and Evanan together Monday for what was a great conversation about

politics, so I'm sure that'll be awesome.

I just thank God that it's occurring on a non-Nick game night because I would have

wriggled out of that baby really fast.

Yeah, yeah.
