Knicks' Miracle Run: "Start Planning the Parade!"

The Carton Show with Craig Carton & Chris McMonigle

June 11, 2026

Craig Carton and Chris McMonigle are still in disbelief after the Knicks' unbelievable comeback and now the conversation has shifted to one thing: How close are the Knicks to ending a 53-year championship drought?
Speakers: Chris McMonigle, Craig Carton
**Chris McMonigle** (0:00)
Woo!

**Craig Carton** (0:03)
Four o'clock straight up. SNY joins us now as well. Or surely they will.
I think the Mets, did they beat the Cartons today?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:11)
They got a victory. They did.

**Craig Carton** (0:12)
Seems like thanks to Juan Soto, the Mets actually got a win.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:15)
Juan Soto with a solo homerun that broke the tie of 4-4, made it 5-4. Weaver and Williams.

**Craig Carton** (0:20)
He also scored the run to tie the game too on a gap double. Maybe even a single, he scored from second base on it. Should have been thrown out at the plate, but it just shows you last night, it's funny. Did you even know that the Mets played last night?
Let's be honest about it. Raise your hands if you knew the Mets played last night.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:38)
I knew they played.

**Craig Carton** (0:39)
You guys are crazy.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:40)
I mean, I knew they played.

**Craig Carton** (0:40)
I didn't know they played last night.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:42)
They lost.

**Craig Carton** (0:42)
9-2. I found out this morning. I would say that's the difference between us. When I'm laser focused on a sporting event, I am laser focused on it.

**Chris McMonigle** (0:50)
I didn't watch all of it.

**Craig Carton** (0:52)
Did you watch any of it?

**Chris McMonigle** (0:53)
Not live, no.

**Craig Carton** (0:54)
Okay, good. I went back and watched part of the fourth quarter last night. You decided to turn on a 9-2 med loss.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:01)
I watched a lot of it this morning.

**Craig Carton** (1:03)
Yuck. Why would you put yourself through that? By the way, Gallo was at the Garden last night.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:08)
Yes.

**Craig Carton** (1:09)
And he's not a great interviewer in that he's nervous around actual human beings. So at one point he bumped into John Turturro.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:17)
Bumped into John Turturro.

**Craig Carton** (1:18)
And I'm a big fan of John Turturro's.

**Chris McMonigle** (1:20)
Who isn't?

**Craig Carton** (1:21)
Obviously hasn't been in anything in 25 years.
But he's a New York guy and he's a New York actor. Alright. And you're very nervous I saw.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:30)
No, I wasn't.

**Craig Carton** (1:31)
No, no, you were.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:32)
No, no, I was out like Ryan Williams in the Combat Zone. Mr. T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T Everyone's got comments, but I'm getting tear gassed and maced to get content for the station. I'm wearing it right now.

**Craig Carton** (1:48)
You got tear gassed and maced?

**SPEAKER_3** (1:49)
I got ran over by a bunch of, I don't even know what you wanna call them, fans, or just they saw Asap Rocky.

**Craig Carton** (1:55)
Yes, he was here in Riyadh, by the way, his wife.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:58)
Do you see it in my face, do you hear it in my voice?

**Craig Carton** (2:01)
Yes.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:01)
I went out there, I'm on two hours of sleep for the city. And I was actually trying to get Andrea Guadala and then realized-

**Craig Carton** (2:08)
You couldn't book Andrea Guadala?

**SPEAKER_3** (2:10)
Well, there was, there's thousands of people outside the stadium.

**Craig Carton** (2:14)
Yeah, did you see Eamon Schumpert wearing a Schumpert jersey?

**SPEAKER_3** (2:19)
No, that one-

**Craig Carton** (2:19)
Out on the streets, which is kind of strange.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:22)
Yeah, I did see that video.

**Craig Carton** (2:23)
By the way, that's such a try-hard right there. Look at me, everybody, look at me. He was wearing his actual Knicks jersey.
Why do you think people are bothering you? Because you want the attention.

**Chris McMonigle** (2:34)
Of course.

**Craig Carton** (2:35)
Which is an interesting thing about the celebrities that are there. Look, there are some legitimate New Yorkers there. There are some legitimate Knicks fans there for sure. But then there's also a lot of Johnny Cum Lailies that show up. I saw the VIP list. You have the celebrity list of folks that are at the Garden.
The one celebrity that I have to give major, major credit to, who yes, got a free ticket to go, so that's part of the deal, but didn't want to make it about herself. And I got to tell you, in a city where every celebrity that goes to Madison Square Garden wants it to be known that they're at Madison Square Garden, right? There's one major, major, I would think right now we'd all classify her as an A-list celebrity, I think you'll agree with me once I tell you the woman's name, who specifically told the Garden, I don't want to sit in the front row.
I'd rather sit like 20 years up. So if you're happy to give me a ticket, I don't need to be shown on the Jumbotron, I don't need to be in any type of VIP room, I'm happy just being in the building to watch the Knicks play.
