I see clips of it once in a while on YouTube, and the hosts always seem like they need to cut way, way back on the caffeine.  Having said that, once in a while I see something that really captures my interest.  Here is a good example:<\/p>\n<p><center><object width=\"425\" height=\"373\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/6B-ZiQGPDdw&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0xe1600f&#038;color2=0xfebd01&#038;border=1\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/6B-ZiQGPDdw&#038;rel=0&#038;color1=0xe1600f&#038;color2=0xfebd01&#038;border=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"425\" height=\"373\"><\/embed><\/object><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I found this while searching for Half-Life 2 gameplay videos.

(Merle phones into the show so you can&#8217;t see her, but if you want to see what she looks like you can do so at her <a href=\"http:\/\/www.merledandridge.com\/\">official website<\/a>.  You can see her in an interview relating to her Broadway work <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sYLestNGivM\">here<\/a>.)  As the hosts point out, it&#8217;s really strange hearing these familiar voices coming from unfamiliar faces.  <\/p>\n<p>I was also surprised at how much Hal Robins looked like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cWQpn-VuKOc&#038;feature=related\">Jerry Holkins<\/a> of Penny Arcade.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite my unwitting appearance on Attack of the Show, I&#8217;m not a huge fan of G4tv.
