Can't believe that thing's still around. I was hosting a morning show in Athens that covered a lot of badmintonsome table tennis too, but badminton, I'd been assured, was going to be "the curling of the Summer Games." (!) There was no script for that rantjust a little dead timebut it got some chuckles and a head shake from my producer. It was a pretty loose showI'd already explained a team handball's size by comparing it against various members of the melon family, and when I found out that equestrian horses were listed as "equipment" I did a rant on the fact that horses needed passports to get into the country and dramatically produced one, so surely they needed an identity upgrade..
That sort of nonsense got me a hosting gig on Torino's Olympic Ice show, which is still one of my all-time favorite scams. Don't know if it's still kicking around, but maybe my salute to Guido The Zamboni Guy is still out there from that wackadoodle show..
