Announcers on TV

[GeoffM]

Oh, wait, I just remembered 1.

Somebody was dealt QQ on Sunday and they said:

"Oh my, he's drawn 2 ladies, 2 divas, the Hilton sisters, whatever you want to call them, he has a huge pair".

Hilton sisters, lol, just classic. Can't wait to hear what they have to say on Sunday, they always come up with something new and hilarious for me to giggle at like a school girl .

Does anyone know when they actually do the comentary, seems like they couldn't possibly be doing it as that action happens so they must just get the edited down tape and only do comentary for that, I suppose.

[GeoffM]

I believe they do indeed do it live, no doubt in a sound proof booth or something.

i think that they are there watching the action live, but i am pretty sure that they do the commentary afterwards. last year there was one shot of norm seated in the front row, while he was commentating, so i am pretty sure the commenst are added later. i think you can also pick up on a lot of the later action, because they foreshadow pretty heavily.

plus, it would cause all sorts of problems with the hole card cams. the turning stone event was "live" but it was delayed five minutes so that no one knew the hole cards.

i can't stand the announcers on ESPN WSOP! the guy that always tries to crack jokes is just completely un-funny. i don't know though, maybe it's just me.

[GeoffM]

Are you crazy, those guys are hilarious. The comedy he uses just makes no sense and that alone makes me laugh. Mind you, I have been told that I have an immature sense of humour (whatever that means).

I remember another, I don't know who was playing, but they were chatting it up and buddies, and were sitting beside each other at the final table.

"If they get any closer, they'll be holding hands."

I don't know if anyone else on this board laughs as much as I do at these guys comments, but if you do, check back Sunday when we get 3 hours of WSOP in Toronto on television, and I'll post as many classic lines as I can. Seems every hand they have an unbelievable one-liner that knocks me out of my seat.

There ws another on the WPT, young kid on the final table.

"...playing hookie from school to be here."

[Penguinfan]

When Fishman was asked when his book is coming out Norman Chad replied "well since he's a member of the Crew it must be a coloring book" I almost spit beer out of my mouth.

[jimmytheg]

they don't do their commentary live...they have a full 3 months to come up with those witty one liners you seem to enjoy. they are there in person to do interviews and whatnot, but noone at the wsop has access to the hole cameras during play. The entire event is taped, and the producer's go over the footage after the tournaments.
