Leeroy Jenkins appears on The Daily Show
by Michael Gray

The first reference came on Tuesday with his Words of Warcraft bit. While addressing the mounting tension between Iran and Israel, Stewart characterized the conflict using a WoW reference on the fly-in graphic. Not a big deal, right?
The follow-up came last night when Leroy Jenkins swarmed the show. Look, you really need to go see the video. If I recap the joke for you, I'll kill the joke dead. Don't worry about subtlety. Just like Jenkins himself, there's no way you're going to miss the appearance. Our favorite part? Jon's own reaction to the shenanigans. (To quote our own McCurley, "I love how Jon Stewart legitimately loves the video.")

Whenever I need to do something that might be scary or a little intimidating, I take a deep breath, close my eyes, and say to myself:
"Time's up let's do this."
I have gotten a job using this method.

My success with that method is only about 33.33%... repeating of course.

I guess McCurley was the one Mr. Stewart was referring to; the individual that had to obtain new trousers.

I don't suppose anyone's got a region-free source for the videos or anything? Daily Show blocks any non-US IP. :(

I recall running into a similar problem a few years ago when I wanted to watch BBC content from the U.S. I belive a proxy server was the answer.
Try Googling "watch Hulu from outside the U.S." It should give you some options for disguising your IP. (Hulu is more popular than just the Daily Show so you should get more results, but most should be applicable.) Just be careful about what you do on any of the websites that come up.

I used a proxy. First time in 8 years in fact. I don't do this often but DAMN was it worth it.
Saeadame Mar 8th 2012 3:12PM
Damn, can't view the video outside the US. Le sigh.

That's weird, I have watched it without problems from Hungary. Maybe it's more regional?
trefpoid Mar 8th 2012 3:47PM
Could watch it fine from Chile!
