TNT's Ernie Johnson believed that Charles Barkley, like Anchorman 's Ron Burgundy, would read anything put on the the teleprompter.

Last night on TNT's "Inside the NBA," Ernie Johnson wondered whether Charles Barkley would read anything they put on the teleprompter, ala Ron Burgundy. Take a wild guess what happened.

This is some of the greatest television you will ever watch. Ernie Johnson pulled an Anchorman on Charles Barkley last night, editing the teleprompter to read "I'm a dumbass" while Charles was filming a T-Mobile commercial in the TNT studios. Charles did not realize it until after he'd said it. Actually right about the last syllable of the sentence, you see this amazing look of recognition ...
