Two Jewish media stars walk into a bar…
…and buy it.
No joke: Sports commentator Tony Kornheiser and talk-show maven Maury Povich have purchased Chad’s, a popular hangout for Washington, D.C., media folk for decades.
The pair plans to upgrade the beer and wine menu, build a podcast studio for Kornheiser’s online chat show and ultimately rename Chad’s, according to Jewish Business News.
Povich, 77, has been a television fixture for half a century; D.C.-born Kornheiser’s been a longtime voice on ESPN.
