“It’s so much fun going to work. ... When I took the job, ( Ernie Johnson) asked me how long I was going to be there and I said, ‘I’m going to be here like three years and then I’m going to move on to bigger and better things.’ But nothing bigger and better has come along, that’s why I'm stuck there” -- Charles Barkley, on the upcoming documentary, “The Inside Story,” about the hosts of TNT’s “Inside the NBA” ( “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” ABC, 3/2).
