Newsradio-E26/S2-Presence 1/3

Mr. James gambles away Bill in a poker game, losing him to a station in Atlanta, Ga. Lisa has to win him back, without knowing how to play poker. Meanwhile, Bill says his goodbyes and Joe, Beth, and Catherine camp out in the hotel room above the poker game, trying to give Lisa an edge. The network wanted to stop the use of the word "spaz" because it's the name of a special interest group. Stephen Root was actually asleep in the chair during the hotel room poker scene. The scene was flmed late at night. Maura Tierney has won the Celebrity Poker Showdown and she does smoke in real life. Dave says that he's played a few games of poker in his day which is ironic because he will host Celebrity Poker Showdown in 8 years. In this episode, Beth refers to Bill as "Phil" (the actor's real name). This occurs nine and a half minutes into the episode (excluding commercials), right before Bill tells Beth that he could have loved her in a simpler life. Boba Fett is used to help Lisa in the card game Dave: Did he mention this to anybody else, or has Colonel Kurtz gone up river again? The insane Colonel Kurtz was Marlon Brando's character in the Francis Ford Coppola film Apocalypse Now. The movie was based on the Joseph Conrad novella Heart of Darkness. The novella was set in Africa but in the movie the setting was changed to Vietnam during wartime.
