Ken Burns Visits Barstool HQ
(Producer John)
The legendary filmmaker visited Barstool HQ in New York City to promote his latest project, and proceeded to clown on Klemmer for being a Jets fan, steal Large's wife, and drop history knowledge like a poet.
The entire interview is worth a listen, as Burns explains how his strenuous process of fact-checking relies on PBS' support and ability to grant him ten years(!) to finish this project.
