Another peek through Colbert's 4th wall.
· 2:18 AM · 2 comments
Stephen Colbert's unabashed delight at being zinged by his guest last night is pure magic to watch as he breaks character, smiles genuinely, and pats (pats!) the table.
On a lighter, comedic note: I'm a fan of The Report's Formidable Opponent segment, particularly its debut sketch on charity. I could watch it again and again and again and since the Central is apparently run by lawyer-exacerbating geeks, we all can. (Windows Media) "Ok. Car. Boat. A lot to think about."
Stephen: There's a saying in poker that, uh, you look around the table and spot the mark-Nerd. Another highlight for me, though smaller, is Comedy Central bleeping "shit" though it is nearly inaudible, a whisper. And I definitely enjoyed (the word fits in part but fails to encompass my reaction) the double-dimensioned wag of the finger to my employer.
Annie: Yes.
Stephen: -if you can't spot him...(hangs)
Annie: You're it.
Stephen: Right.
Annie: Correct.
Stephen: (waves inclusively) Who's the mark here?
Annie: Wait, are we playing Dungeons and Dragons or poker?
Stephen: ...
Stephen: (smiles)

Oh, my favourite is the THREATDOWN. Nothing like a good bear scare to get the week started.

I love the report and enjoyed Colbert's genuine reaction in that piece, but English not being my native tongue, I didn't get the joke at all.
What's a "mark" in this context and what is it in D&D? Can anybody explain this to me? TIA
