I almost crashed the car on the way to the game on Monday night. I was listening to the pre-game show wrap-up when the announcer said his goodbyes, including:

...and also on behalf of my cohost, Terry Braverman, who is not here ...

Neat trick that; hosting in absentia.

In the UK these events are known as "colemanballs" after a commentator who seemed to do it every 5 minutes , one old classic is whilst commentating on a snooker match about 30 years ago he said "for those of you watching on black and white TV the green ball is the one behind the yellow"

Jackie, how do "we" "USns" feel about "commentating"?

Maybe he couldn't see him.

After all, sometimes the cohost is clear.

Irregardless of whether or not he was or wasn't there or not, he was still the cohost.

Besides, mebbe he just only snuck out for a quick beer.

It was not the regular cohost who vanished, but rather a vanishing ghost-cohost.
If indeed the destination was beer, then whither thou goest, I goest.
