This episode aired on Tuesday 12/9/2003 and featured T. Sean Shannon, Mo Rocca, Greg Giraldo, and Nick DiPaolo. This episode was originally going to have Al Franken as a guest, but his mother passed away on 12/7/2003, forcing him to skip his appearance. Mo Rocca, who was working on The Daily Show at the time, was asked to fill in. For further date confirmation: before this video cuts out during act II, the topic was how Average Joe just wrapped up the night before; the season finale for Average Joe aired on NBC on Monday 12/8/2003.
RU-vid user "sneakerpimpin2381" uploaded a shortened version of this episode up on his channel several years ago before taking it down. The episode he uploaded had an issue in the middle of act II where the screen froze before picking back up again in act III/IV. The many accounts that are used to host videos for the opieandanthonylive archive uploaded a version of this video that goes further into act II than sneakerpimpins2381's video. I chopped the two videos together, and unfortunately because of where the cut is in act II, there was no way to make a seamless transition. I apologize, but it's the best I could do.
I thank him sneakerpimpin2381 greatly for his uploads and encourage everyone to subscribe to his channel--as well as all the other users who have uploaded Tough Crowd content. If you're a fan of "cringe humor" like Tough Crowd, Opie & Anthony, and Ron & Fez, please consider donating to the cause of archiving these shows at opieandanthonylive.com.
For shits and giggles, you can dial the old Tough Crowd Ticket Line at 212-560-2663. The line is still in use and takes you to the automated system that it did from 2003-2004.
