A Fun Atmosphere’: Wayne Gretzky Happy In ‘NHL On TNT Post-Game Show’
Don’t expect The Great One to be working from the broadcast booth much in the future. Wayne Gretzky loves his day job — as an analyst on the “NHL On TNT Post-Game Show” studio shows alongside Rick Tocchet, Anson Carter, Paul Bissonnette, and host Liam McHugh — that much.
“We have a lot of fun on the panel,” Gretzky said on a conference call with reporters Tuesday. “We really enjoy being together. It’s fun to have chemistry right off the bat.”
Since he retired in 1999 as the NHL’s all-time leading scorer – along with dozens of other records he still holds – Gretzky has missed playing.
He realized long ago he wanted to give his life to the game and saw the Turner gig as an opportunity to stay connected, which he appreciates – from the parity between teams to the stars’ skill level to the direction of the league.
His friendship with Charles Barkley, a panelist on TNT’s “Inside the NBA” who spoke highly of the Turner Sports team, also pushed him into the role.
“Probably, he was underrating it,” Gretzky said. “It’s an even better and nicer group than I could have imagined. It’s kind of a fun atmosphere to be in.”
Everyone brings something different to the program, Gretzky said, whether it’s a quip from Bissonnette or a breakdown from Tocchet. Most importantly, they all get along.
“We can debate each other. We can argue with each other. And once we leave the studio, it’s over and done with,” said Gretzky, who welcomes the conflict. “It’s good not to always agree with each other. I think that’s part of what’s made it fun.”
