I'm trying to think of the name of the satirical show where Sibrel was interviewed.

All I can remember is that during the interview it was put to Sibrel that the punch by Aldrin was faked as it was clear it went 'back, and to the left.'

It's driving me potty, especially the name of the male satirist that fronted the show.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former - Albert Einstein.

I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people – Sir Isaac Newton.

A polar orbit would also bypass the SAA - Tim Finch

Its so lucky I didn't see that, and even more lucky wasn't having dinner or drinking coffee at the time....
If you're not a scientist but you think you've destroyed the foundation of a vast scientific edifice with 10 minutes of Googling, you might want to consider the possibility that you're wrong.

Yup, that's The Daily Show, back in its Jon Stewart incarnation.  (I like Trevor Noah fine, but I still miss Jon.  Also, I discovered Friday that, while Trevor Noah sings better than my mother, anyone who knows my mother can tell you just how much that's damning with faint praise.)

All the usual nonsense But a few shots of some righteously angered astronauts.
Well, it is like this: The truth doesn't need insults. Insults are the refuge of a darkened mind, a mind that refuses to open and see. Foul language can't outcompete knowledge. And knowledge is the result of education. Education is the result of the wish to know more, not less.

I still love that punch to Sibrel's face.  It is too bad it didn't knock some sense into his brain.

At that time, Aldrin was an elderly gentleman, so he probably didn't have the horsepower available to effect any positive change.

Watch it there, as I resemble that comment. :)

IMO, it is best piece of video ever to be turned into a gif.

Enjoy it some more!!!
