The executive producer of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" and diehard Los Angeles Kings fan was surprised by the Kings mascot while serving as a guest on the Los Angeles television broadcast Saturday.
Lassner was the guest of honor at the Kings game against the Vegas Golden Knights as part of their Hockey Night in LA promotion. He did a tour of TV appearances and was in the broadcast booth with Alex Faust and Jim Fox when Bailey snuck up behind him and began banging a drum in his ear.
Lassner nearly lept out of his seat.
Bailey and Lassner have a history, specifically with the drum. The Kings mascot scared the bejeezus out of Lassner while he was putting on his jersey during a tryout as an emergency backup goalie last year.
