Phil Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Silicon Valley star Thomas Middleditch has found a new calling in life, and that?s performing in disguise as a famed Canadian hockey commentator named Tony Babcock. Middleditch debuted the character during Fox Sports West?s broadcast of the L.A. Kings game over the weekend, which was teased on the Kings? website. There was also a backstory for the character similar to how ABC introduced Mike Myers?s Gong Show host character Tommy Maitland back in 2017. Described as ?a mysterious fellow,? Babcock?s sports-expert r?sum? includes ?over seven months as a PeeWee equipment coach for the Surrey Thunder A2? and a very small portion of one game as a sports broadcaster. ?He filled in for his father, a longtime announcer, who was sidelined by a freak press meal. Throughout the hockey community, it?s rumored that undercooked salmon was the culprit,? the L.A. Kings website reveals. ?Babcock called the final four minutes of the game, exemplifying that quality takes precedence over quantity.? https://www.vulture.com/2019/01/thomas-middleditch-nhl-hockey-commentary-tony-babcock.html Link: https://www.instagram.com/p/BsTNh92ADUq/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=9mbjc9rbkoem Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
