When people ask me what my favorite book of the year was I always say the same thing: Shut your mouth, nerd! I don’t remember what books came out when, ya bookworm! Plus it’s hard to pick a favorite, you fucking loser. Can’t we stop treating art like a competition and all just be brothers?
JAMES HARDEN ON THE PETE HOLMES SHOW
The Pete Holmes Show is a brand new talk show on TBS, after Conan, at midnight (Monday through Thursday). And what do you know, I brought a clip with me. Let me set it up…. (always wanted to say that)
Pete goes down to Houston to talk to Harden at his basketball camp, but in classic Pete Holmes-style, it’s the questions he has the guts to ask. You gotta watch to believe.
PETE: You must be popular with the ladies. Are you a ladies’ man?
HARDEN: Yeah.
Harden can barely contain himself through the majority of this interview. Always entertaining to watch athletes loosen up and have some fun.
Check out the show. I think you’ll like it. It’s on at midnight. Check your local listings (always wanted to say that too). And follow them right here on tumblr: PeteHolmesShow.
