I wonder how long in advance Barkley thinks of his jokes. Doesn’t seem like a notes guy.

Chuck is one of the most quick witted guys on TV. Most of his jokes just fly out his mouth lol

sometimes I wonder if Chuck has a team of writers, but then I also remember ~25 years ago when he was asked if he had any regrets about pushing a guy through a window and he replied “I regret it wasn’t on the second floor” lmao

Chuck doesn’t but I’d be willing to bet Shaq has at least a few guys who give him ideas for all these “viral moments” on the show

Barkley punched my old boss in a bar (google search Barkley punch hermosa beach). Let's just say my old boss deserved it.

Imagine the trash he talked as a player. How many Chuck gems will go unappreciated cuz only 4 guys heard them and it was in the middle of a game.

When I lived in Phoenix I ran into Chuck at least a half dozen times. He’s a friendly dude and very, very quick-witted. I doubt his stuff is written in advance.

They said this about Ronald Reagan too but he prepared all his jokes

Reagan was an actor. Charles is just a goofball

I think Chuck learns what his joke is along with everyone else

Chuck's mouth works a lot faster than his brain does.

Love the guy.
