Jeff Garlin Joins LA Kings for Hockey Night in LA

Jeff Garlin, a comedian, actor and producer, joined the LA Kings broadcast on Saturday for a matinee edition of Hockey Night in LA.
Garlin's been a longtime Kings fan since he started following the team during Marcel Dionne's era in 1975.
"I'm really excited about today," Garlin said. "Live hockey is the best thing in the world."
Garlin, who knew from eight years old that he would be a comedian, provided no shortage of laughs and outlandish statements for all hockey fans... except those from Las Vegas.

Tweet from @Aloha_LAKings: I could use more Jeff Garlin in my life.

Later in the game, Garlin, who was wearing No. 19 in honor of Jim Fox, joined Alex Faust and Fox in the broadcast booth to help them call the game.
Faust and Fox had plenty of time in between whistles to fire questions at Garlin, who wasn't short of words. His favorite episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm? Wandering Bear. The position his character would play in hockey? Goalie.
It was a great time for everyone, including Garlin, who may have found his second calling. "Why wouldn't I want to do this every week? I'm going to talk to the front office," Garlin said.

Tweet from @CoyleJacob_: I think it���s awesome that the @LAKings let Jeff Garlin announce with the boys 😂😂

Tweet from @kinglolux: Can someone gif @alex_faust raising his eyebrows when Jeff Garlin says "vagina." @LAKings
Tweet from @RobinR_84: Omg I���m Laugh crying at @JimFox19 @alex_faust and Jeff Garlin 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This is the best!! #LAKings

"Hockey Night in LA needs me every week," Garlin said. And to be honest, Kings fans completely agree.
The next time the Las] Vegas Golden Knights are in town will fall on the next Hockey Night in LA!
[Be at the game
on December 29, as it'll be your last chance to cheer on the Kings in 2018!
