Thursday was Bring Your Kids to Work Day, and that situation worked out well for WFAN and Craig Carton.
Evan Roberts was late to the program, so Carton opened the afternoon show by welcoming a fill-in co-host, the son of WFAN midday host Brandon Tierney.
“I’ve got a buddy of mine replacing Evan until he shows up, and he’s a big Knick fan, which is the way I like,” Carton said. “Here’s my main man named Colt. He’s a one-name guy.”
“That’s my nickname, Colt. I’m Colton Tierney,” the eight-year-old said.
“Don’t tell ’em your last name! Your dad doesn’t know I’m doing this,” Carton joked.
He then asked the younger Tierney how he felt about the Knicks’ victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, and his dad felt about the injury to Julius Randle.
“My dad was so upset. He was like ‘Ahh, great’. I saw it when he rolled it, I was so upset,” Colton Tierney admitted.
After revealing that he has taken money out of his father’s wallet while he’s in the shower, Tierney’s co-hosting tenure ended when Roberts made it to the studio.
“Evan just showed up and is probably gonna take his job back. Is that ok with you? Or do you just want to say for the whole four hours with us and we’ll take you home after the show? Do you wanna just sit here until 6?” Carton asked.
The second grader had to decline due to a prior commitment at baseball practice.
“Thank you for having me,” Colt said before grilling Roberts about which NBA players are better than his favorite player, Jalen Brunson.
Carton told Tierney he did a great job and will be a future host on WFAN.
