Jonah Keri makes his elevator pitch to three-time Emmy Award winning host and play-by-play announcer Ernie Johnson of Turner Sports about his father Ernie Sr., MLB pitcher and broadcaster; EJ’s one season playing college baseball; his start in broadcasting; wearing different hats at Turner; hosting “Inside the NBA” with Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Shaq; winning an Emmy then presenting it to the daughters of the late Stuart Scott; and EJ’s Life Tip.
EJ is a 25+ year veteran of Turner, hosting TNT’s legendary Inside the NBA studio show alongside Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Shaquille O’Neal and calling play-by-play for Turner’s exclusive 2016 AL Postseason coverage with Cal Ripken, Jr., Ron Daring and Sam Ryan. TNT will open the NBA season on Tuesday, Oct. 25 with an Opening Night doubleheader beginning in Cleveland with Knicks vs. Cavs, with coverage at 6 p.m. ET.
