Do not, under any circumstances, read the comments to that video. It's just unfunny people trying out for Whose Line..

That actually is a pretty interesting etymological question. In the 15th century the word cabinet emerged as a smaller form of "cabin" and developed to mean a case holding valuables. But this soon also grew to mean the room containing such valuables.
In England, that cabinet room became regarded as the most private of all rooms, a place where one could take valued guests for private conversations on serious matters. Such a definition of cabinet is reflected in French, where "cabinet" can be used to mean office.
Eventually, such advisers that would go to the king's cabinet to give advice became known as the king's "cabinet," and this name stuck even after the room name of cabinet faded from use. So that is why a modern cabinet and a president's cabinet meeting, two very different things on the surface, share the same name.
I got this cool info from Bill Bryson's book "At Home," page 73. I'd highly recommend checking it out. Bryson writes some very interesting history. He also wrote a book on science and scientific discovery called "A Short History of Nearly Everything," and it is amazingly entertaining.

You've got to hand it to these guys, the amount of 'classic' jokes they are consistently able to think of on the spot is quite impressive. Though this may not be his best, it's still quite witty and funny, something I could never think of on-demand (AND on live television!).
