BILL HEMMER (ANCHOR): So Taylor Swift is right there at mid-court with her friends, having a great time, it looked like. You know, the deal is like Madison Square Garden and the Knicks, that they've got this deal with the celebrities where they invite them into the game. I think a lot of them are comped, frankly.
BRIAN BRENBERG (GUEST): Yeah, they are.
HEMMER: They're not paying a hundred grand for courtside tickets.
BRENBERG: Oh, come on.
HEMMER: Why isn't she wearing a Knicks T-shirt?
BRENBERG: What was she wearing?
HEMMER: She was wearing a Stevie Knicks T-shirt. All I'm saying is that —
DANA PERINO (ANCHOR): That's funny.
HEMMER: If you're going to allege to be a fan, go ahead and be a fan.
PERINO: I mean, I think that's kind of clever and funny.
....
HEMMER: Seinfeld is a fan, right? I'm just suggesting, she was courtside for the Cavs a couple weeks ago. So is she a fan or not?
BRENBERG: By the way,
HEMMER: Brian, hang on. Brian.
BRENBERG: No, look, I mean, she wants to be in the camera. It's Taylor Swift. This is a moment to be seen. I wouldn't have known it's a Stevie Knicks shirt unless you told me about it because it's the right colors, right? Although if you're getting comped — one shirt says Knickole Kidman. You got to wear a Knicks shirt, Dana. I'm not with you on this one.
