That's exactly what I thought, too...that episode of South Park was around 2007 IIRC. Which actually made me suspicious - it's almost too similar. Here's the isolated clip, with some YouTube comments:



Now, I know to take YouTube comments with a grain of salt, and I'm generally not one to shout fake, but....

Fake?

I'd put my money on fake over real. In a world where Jordan Peele and some tech folks can combine to make a fake Obama video that actually warns people about fake videos...I'm not sure that clip is real, for several reasons:

1) The silence is deafening. It's like they're giving time to let the shock come in.
2) The "N" guy just seems....like it's separate in terms of video.
3) Let's play logic. First letters to be picked? TRNSLE. Say they skip the "N". You get _L__ ____ER. The N is just begging to be picked, even if you buy an A making an N seem unlikely in the first word.
4) If this were ever actually ON Wheel of Fortune, the whole episode would probably wind up on the cutting room floor. Recreate it, and run the "portions of this episode may have been recreated" disclaimer that's necessary thanks to Standards and Practices and the Twenty-One/Quiz Show scandal. When the guy guesses "N", have him guess "B", or even "P".


I am sure it is fake.

I was in the audience when Letterman called Dr. Pepper 'liquid manure' during a Top 10 list in December 2000. CBS lawyers stopped the taping and for close to 30 minutes there was a heated discussion but Letterman was adamant and the joke stayed. CBS wound up giving Dr. Pepper a free Super Bowl ad

He wasn’t wrong. Dr. Pepper is disgusting

One of the few times I've ever agreed with Letterman.

Deadpool 2 was Phenomenal.

Good to hear, I’ll be going sometime this weekend probably. I was going to see Infinity War again but with Deadpool 2 and Solo there’s no time. For Solo I preordered IMAX tickets opening night, can’t wait. It’s my tradition to see a new Star Wars movie opening night in IMAX, it’s fun with a crowd just as pumped as you are.

Not a huge JP fan and thought the last one was just ok, but I’ll probably see this new one. What I’m really looking forward to is Sicario 2, I loved the first one.
