From the April 14th, 2019 show of Live from Here, Joey Ryan (a Milk Carton Kid, and the show's creative director) decides that now is the time to express his dissatisfaction with host Chris Thile's musical introductions, and sends a new intro for his band to Chris' teleprompter. It goes exactly like how you'd expect:
"Music is not a competition but if it were, this next band would win. I like them even more than Sara Bare-- NO! I cannot read this on the air! I can't disparage another guest!"
"Chris, I am your creative director. You just have to trust me..."
#not spoiling the ultimate punchline but this made me laugh so hard#also#i was there!#first time i ever saw them and i became a fan for life#Live from Here#The Milk Carton Kids#Chris Thile#Kenneth Pattengale#Joey Ryan#was going to make this into a gifset but it was too much effort#also speaking of the punchline and me laughing hard. i wasn't the only one. listen closely#that's Chris laughing from the wings#you can't see it in this video but since i was in the balcony i could see him in the wings#and he was just doubled over laughing. that joke took him OUT
