The Daily Show and poker

Great piece just aired on one of the best shows on TV... The Daily Show.  It repeats tonight (Tuesday night) at 2:30 am EST.  Also tomorrow (Wednesday) morning at 9:00 am EST, and at noon EST.  All on the Comedy Network.  It's in the first segment... pretty funny stuff.  They get deep into the "exciting" life of an online poker player.  ROFLMAO.

    That was priceless!

    "What about people who don't suck at gambling?"

    That was too much. I'm still laughing.

    That was my favourite part too.  To contextualize it for those who didn't see it, here's how that part of the interview went (more or less):

    Former Compulsive Gambler Turned Anti-Gambling Advocate: "I lost 3 times an annual salary several times in the 70's.  The only thing in store for people who gamble is heartbreak.  The longer people gamble, the more they will lose... it's that simple.  My life was destroyed by gambling."

    Samantha Bee (Daily Show Correspondant): (Said with a straight face) "Mm hmmm, yes, OK... but... what's it like for people who DON'T suck at gambling?"

    FCGTAGA: "Excuse me?"

    SB: "What's it like for people who DON'T suck at gambling?"

    FCGTAGA: (looks confused and perplexed) "Uhhh.... I'm sorry... ummm... you lost me with that one"

    I'm not trying to double post here just avoid a hijack:

    I'm just about to watch it in Media Center 2005. Go to this thread if you don't mind helping me with dvr-ms files and setting up a torrent to get a copy of this Daily Show...

    Yeah, it was a great segment. I often catch the Daily Show as its on the Comedy Network quite often. Jon Stewart is always good for a few laughs, and his segments (like the gambling one) are usually well done. He can push the envelope a bit more, not being a mainstream show.

    Well now I don't know! I downloaded it and it was a .rar file, when I opened it it said Daily show 05.10.05 Auto extraction file.exe . Normally isnt it just the movie file?

    Right it sounds like you had WinRar or somesuch.  I think you are as wary as I on launching any .exe from an unknown source.
