<p>On TNT&#8217;s &#8220;Halftime Report&#8221; Thursday night, co-host Charles Barkley left co-host Shaquille O&#8217;Neal pleading with him to stop after Barkley&#8217;s comments on the Jussie Smollett fiasco had O&#8217;Neal practically gasping for air from laughing so hard. Barkley referenced the evidence that Smollett <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/43769/police-say-jussie-smollett-wrote-check-brothers-he-amanda-prestigiacomo">had written a check</a> to the two Nigerian brothers allegedly involved in the attack on him as well as actor Liam Neeson&#8217;s <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/celebrity/liam-neeson-says-he-s-not-racist-after-looking-black-n966976">admission</a> that years ago he had gone looking for a black man to hurt after a friend of his alleged she had been raped by a black man.</p>
<p>The segment starts with co-host Ernie Johnson posting one more post-it note on a wall filled with the team&#8217;s various predictions.</p>
