Kenny Mayne

He seems good because the others are so bad. He's a bad imitation of Bill Murray.

So they definitely have "killed" Kenny? I was just in denial, hoping he'd be back. The #1 waterfall bit was classic. If any of you are Sports Night fans from back in the day, Kenny makes me feel like the show's still on the air just from saying all the crazy stuff he does. (The 10th Anniversary dvd set of SN is out!) Exactly who does Hank have naked pictures of? The guy supplying the Grey Goose?

Hank has been on a mini roll of late. Getting the Arkansas Derby Exacta (no biggie) but he did bet Advice to win.

Why so shocked? It's not like they have spelling bees or can play poker 24/7. Someone's gotta fill the rest of the time. We can't overburden little league baseball or women's lacrosse more than we already have, plus they have to spend some time training or having an off-season. It's either horse racing or another Sham Wow infomercial. We do have one thing going for us that the Sham Wow guy doesn't, nobody in our sport is currently in the news for biting the tongue of a hooker--we win.

I know I'm in the minority here, but Kenny wasn't my cup of tea. I like the broadcast better without the one liners.

I also liked Kenny Mayne. His dry sense of humor and wit made the telecasts more enjoyable.

One of my favs was the "OTB Day Care"........

"The racing industry hopes that one day these adorible tikes will grow up to invest many thousands of dollars in wholesome off-track betting facilities. They are fun for the whole family!"

lol yea, a bad Bill Murray is kind of funny if you think about it

[Sightseek]

I thought his funniest moment was the segment on horse breeding.

[Thunder Gulch]

Kenny had a really dry sense of humor that some didn't care for, but I loved it. He was a better handicapper than Hank most days, and was ten times more entertaining to boot.

i'll chime in and agree that i thought he was great. i enjoyed a lot of his dry humor myself and think that it is missed a lot on the telecasts

[sumitas]

i remember his line about the 3 stages of male pattern baldness referring to himself Bailey and Moss
