    I happened to catch that skit on The President Show, too. Same reaction! Soooo funny, so so funny.

    Have only seen the one show, got to remember to tune in, thanks for the reminder.

    I especially like the part where he is trying to explain to the kids about how the real estate development biz works. (I am laughing right now remembering it!)
