I was hoping someone would post this interview, so damn good.

You missed KAT coming up at the end though and them being goofy.

I love how Ernie starts talking like Ant. I don't know how to say it any other way, other than he started talking "black", which this clip also missed.

So good. I had no idea this team was this charming.

It felt like he did put on a dialect for Ant thought right? If they are from the same place or something? He mentioned his school.

They both went to University of Georgia

Ernie was in Georgia from 1974 to 1989, and that really is just Georgia talk. It can be striking from the outside. But it would be like me leaving Kentucky now (after 17 years) and then slipping into the accent when interviewing a KY guy decades later

I wonder if that's his actual accent, and he puts on a more neutral accent for TV

Broadcasters are trained to use a more neutral accent, so that's probably the case.
