a ridiculous question...but this is my last resort

[Reverend_Smitty]

I was talking to a friend an hour or two ago and she asked me this..."do you remember watching a show where the guests or possibly actors said something like the Iditarod is the Superbowl of the dog sledding world" and I did, however, we for the life of us cannot figure out where this was said. Now I know if two people remember hearing it, it can't be a figment of our imagination. We also can't remember the context of the statement either. It's not really anything important but my not being able to remember where I heard this (Daily Show, Colbert Report?) is eating away at my soul. So I'm tossing out a Hail Mary to the DU community and see if anyone can help me out with the context of the quote and what show it was on.

Again it is a really stupid question but I know if I don't come up with an answer, I may never be able to sleep properly again.

1. I believe Tom Brokaw said that on

The Colbert Report when Steven was trying to get him to come up with soundbites.

2. Is that where that is from?

3. Just heard that today.

I'm thinking it must have been the recent Daily Show
episode with George Clooney; that's the only older
thing I think I watched from the Tivo today.

5. God, I can't for the life of me remember where it came from.

But I heard it just a few days ago. Motherfucker. Now, I'll never get to bed.

7. HOLY SHIT I JUST FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!111!!

It is in fact from the November 29th episode of the Daily Show where Jon Stewart is having a "Credibility-off" between Matt Lauer and George Bush. Matt Fucking Lauer said it on the Today Show and Jon used it on the show to counterpoint the famous Yellow Cake speech. Lauer won that round.


I had to download the torrent and watch it and I never would have narrowed it down without the help of dicksteele in one of the replies...so 1,000 thanks to dicksteele!!!
