Jay Bilas and His Missouri Meerschaum

[bluegrassbrian]

Watching NCAA basketball yesterday and I caught this segment. Jay Bilas offering some commentary on the game while... smoking a pipe?!
It's more rare than a hens tooth to see someone smoking on tv anymore - but a pipe? What were the odds?!

Was it a prop?

Was it a prop?

The white rim points to “yes” but I didn’t see it for myself so I could be way off base.

What We Do In The Shadows (which is bloody hilarious) has a main character, Laszlo, who holds a pipe sometimes in the show. Very much a prop as it’s always an unsmoked basket pipe which is why I never take pics of it and post em here.

I doubt seriously he was actually using the pipe as anything but a prop.

That show cracks me up. And It's one of the few shows where I don't skip the intro because I like the theme song.

Not very surprising to me. They let Stephen A Smith use a cigar as a prop all the time on First Take and Shannon Sharpe has done it countless times as well with black and milds. I would’ve been SHOCKED however if it was lit.

The movie and show are both incredible. Every time I think they couldn't possibly do anything more with the premise, they take it in another wacky direction and have me on the floor with laughter.
