TNT’s Ernie Johnson is one of the most popular men working in the sports media today.  So viewers couldn’t begrudge Turner Sports for taking a brief timeout for surprising EJ during the end of their Friday PGA Championship coverage with a photo to pay tribute to his newborn grandson, Ernest Everett Johnson.

Here’s the video, where you can see Johnson get a little choked up over the gesture:

As well-liked as Johnson is on the air, his story off the air is very inspiring.  E:60 gave an insight into Johnson and his family’s story last year that illuminated his life away from the camera.  That inspiring story of Johnson’s family made Turner allowing fans and viewers to celebrate all the more special.
