Daily Show plays race card ambitiously

October 7, 2009

When we’re not practicing Aaron Fisher’s Illusion Control or dreaming up new uses for the M5, we chill in front of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. So we went absolutely crazy go nuts when we saw “Senior Black Correspondent” Larry Wilmore break out a pack of League Backs. While you may not agree with the politics or commentary, you gotta agree that Wilmore killed with his ambitious card routine (starts at 2:53):

Two words: HECK YEAH. Did you see how shaky his hands were, yet he still killed it? There’s more to talk about from this video, and you can do so in this thread on the forums.

God I hate my hands start to shake. I usually stop the trick dead in its tracks. Take a few deep breaths. Try to figure out whats making me nervous. Then slowly get back into the trick.

Great performance.

Haha, wow. Larry Wilmore is my new favorite co-host on the Daily Show. I don’t see why he said his pass was terrible though. I thought it was pretty good.
