According to the Rutgers Addiction Center, approximately 5 million Americans have a gambling addiction. According to the same source, only eight percent of those 5 million will ever seek help in breaking the addiction. The other approximately 4.6 million? Well, I guess they'll take any comfort they can in the forced, scripted mirth of two multi-millionaires who pretend to also having a gambling problem but for whom in fact gambling is NOT a problem, but an opportunity to add more $$$ to the pile.
I can't believe I snarked on Joe Namath picking up a quick paycheck from a scammy Not-Medicare insurance company or Ernie Hudson shilling for Not Car Insurance. At least those guys probably need the money.
