And I guess Batman's mask actually covers his mouth.

No way Nancy and I continue intact. One host at most in studio, social distancing mandates that. But I'm guessing , since the studio gets production-staff traffic, that the tv show will simply be discontinued as a dispensable casualty of covid.

And to be honest, tv analysis is the last thought on my mind these days. When Mnr reopens, and for the foreseeable future, my day job must be first priority. The challenges that covid presents to our crew of officials are daunting.

I'm sure Nancy will be available to do a one-host program, but the likelier scenario might be no show at all.

Let me add that I'm not averse to doing more tv. I loved it, the rewards were awesome, and I will serve Mnr as management sees fit. But the pandemic has wreaked literal hell on both of my positions, rendering my day duties extremely difficult, and leaving my night job in tatters.

Whatever the case, those horsemen and jocks less than enamored of my candid, take-no-prisoners approach will be rejoicing. lol....

Please keep in mind that I do not speak for Mnr's owners or management.
I am merely an employee, fully at their service.

And compared to others whose work-lives have been set asunder by the virus, I've got it easy.

Mark,

Imo, if the TV show is a casualty from all of this --

So be it.

But I for one will feel a sense of loss. As will horseplayers everywhere.

that show has been a part of the Mountain for a long time and it has been a big plus.

i am sure that the management would have no problem with a show that takes place remotely for the time being like the other tracks will do. i am sure this will be great to showcase their product.
