Steve Carell re-creates Lebron’s decision with Paul Rudd at the 2010 ESPY’s
“So I’m going to be the last person you tell.”
“I might not tell you.”
Had me legit laughing out loud.
Straight up Michael Scott mode
Michael Scott would never abandon Chili’s
I want my baby back baby back baby back baby back baby back….
It’s the new golf course. It’s where business happens.
Do I need the people of Cleveland to like me? Absolutely not. I would like to be liked by the people of Cleveland. I enjoy being liked by the people of Cleveland. I have to be liked by the people of Cleveland. But it’s not like this compulsive need… like my need to be the center of media attention.
This is more Anchorman mode
RIP Ask Jeeves
My addled brain thought he was going to say chatGPT
They edited out “have you told TVs Susan Lucci” so random to leave that part out
What about Fudruckers?!
Do NOT get me started on TVs Susan Lucci
I’ll never forget where I was when this happened. One of the worst times I’ve felt as a sports fan
Steve choosing Outback was that bad for you?
He said he would always be a Chilis man
That’s because Chili’s is the new golf course; it’s where business happens.
That’s according to small business magazine, if they decide to use what he sent in
Some people just don’t respect loyalty smh
As soon as he announced it was a tv special i knew he was gone. You dont have a tv announcement to say nothing is changing.
While you’re right I was a heartbroken teenager at the time watching that live 😭
Same when Kawhi left us after winning a championship but he’s back!! So LeBron might be too.
Not unless the Nuggets have something to say about it (allow me to cope)
No!
I remember when he went back to Chili’s four years later, they weren’t as upset when he eventually left them again for Applebee’s
Choosing Applebee’s as the metaphor for the Lakers is a choice lol
At least say Benihana or something
The olden times when shows were broadcast in widescreen but still put the logos where they’d be if it were fullscreen
Ask me again
Lol
I have never seen this before.. its absolutely brilliant
Oof i didnt watch this but apparently the running time for this tv special was 75min, imagine being a cavs fan sitting through all of that yikes
Not only that, he made the announcement halfway through the show… and Chris Broussard made the announcement right before the show started.
There’s a reason when this show gets brought up its almost obligatory to note it raised a ton of money for charity thanks to the advertising deal ESPN made with LeBron because it was totally superfluous otherwise.
Yeah cause it fucking sucked ass
I just don’t understand how so many smart people who professional produce television content couldn’t come up with a better format than this. Surely they could’ve foreseen that one interminable interview would look bad. There had to be a better way.
What a decision, how will this affect LeBron’s legacy??
Man, world needs a new and better show with Steve Carell
It has one and it’s called Rooster and the reviews are great
back when the espys were watchable
The Ask Jeeves reference, lmao
“I asked Jeeves” who here is old enough to get that reference? 😂
It’s LaJon Brames 🤦🏻♂️
Tito Ortiz was so random lol
I don’t know who that is.
MMA fighter from back in the day
Oh yes, yeah, I told him.
First time seeing this I almost choked on my apple
Honestly outback steakhouse was so good in the early 2000s. Then they went to complete shit and most of them closed and the ones that didnt are legitimately inedible.
Ask Jeeves mentioned
Thank you, never seen this before. So good 😂
Jeez what is this
It’s a skit from the 2010 ESPY’s where Steve Carell and Paul Rudd satirize LeBron’s tv special where he announced what team he was signing with. It’s pretty funny, you should give it a watch. Let me know if you have any more questions
Thanks ChatGPT.
If we cant type a single paragraph explaining something without folk thinking it’s AI we’re doomed tbh
You misspelled “Jeeves, what is this”
This is totally unrelated to this post, but I just wanted to say that the office should have never been made.
You millennials deserve more than this after the 2008 crash. Please, just please, stop referencing the same show.
Stop having fun, I hate you millennials having fun!!!!
Just for you I’m gonna rewatch it again.
