Blair does a great job and Hubbard is plenty tolerable, but I miss having our crazy Uncle Jim around! Hey PeacockTV, bring Jim back!

Definitely bring back JH.
But I disagree that Blair is doing a good job now Jim is gone. Blair completely ignores what is going on on the track. Very disappointed.

Blair is not there for play by play. Though I think he would be very good at it. He's there only to explain the specific little things that are particular to supercross. At that I think he is very good at too. But yeah, I really liked Holley's stuff too.

RDL sucks without Holley. This was a HUGE mistake to not bring him back.

Blair was OK when he had Jimbo as his front man. Now that he is the man it is not working.

Jim is the best. Great guy, great interviewer and was a great racer. Love to see him work with a team in 2022.

Said that today as well. I like what Dan brings though. I think with Jim, he would ask someone a 5 part question, answer 4 of them himself then cut the person off when they were giving their answer out of excitement and energy. Jim never seemed to have a lack of either, which can be good and bad. .

First time watching RDL this year today. Man we really need Holley back. Blair seems to be taking it waayyy too seriously. Could just be me but I really like Jim’s little jabs at db and his comparisons to back in the day. Holley made DB better, New guy sucks

So it was budget cuts. Horrible decision.

Lets get a recall petition going!

Hubbard has been the in stadium announcer for several seasons, he isn’t new.

With the budget cuts now the Race Day Live and Night show duties are shared. There’s only fans in the stands from Q2 on, and they are piping in the audio from Race Day live to the stadium instead of having a separate feed.

Hubbard then goes back to in stadium announcing during the races. And Daniel goes to the NBC broadcast. Jim is left the odd man out.

Man, this sucks. Blair and Carmichael do such a BAD job. It’s embarrassing really listening to these clowns and ramble and routinely miss and talk over live action on the track.
At least Ricky wears a suit and doesn’t have a wrinkled polo on with tatts showing.

So they cut Hollywood for budget reasons, but bring in another guy.

Makes sense.

Is the new guy working for peanuts?

Thanks for the explanation, I wondered WTF happened.

Yep like others have said it's not the same without Hollywood Holley.....

I vote for bringing back Big Hollywood as well. He brought a great feel to the Race Day Live that IMO is now missing.

Peacock is saving me a few bucks so Ill kick in a few toward bring back Uncle Jim. I love that he went out and gave cash to privateers.

I remember seeing Hubbard over the last few seasons and didn't much care for him as an announcer....I thought, thankfully, he had a small part of the show. But now there's 3 hours of him... good grief.

To be fair, they are only paying Hubbard 3 dollars for the entire season.
