Jeopardy!

Back during Jeopardy’s peak popularity, one of the entertainment tonight like shows did a piece on him. During the interview (one of those walk through my house type) he claimed to know about 75% of the answers. That seems to be about average for most of the contestants. Even on the entry level test you have to get 7 out of 10 correct.

As far as being urbane; during the same interview he showed a room in his house where he keeps his hat collection. A hat collection? Not even good hats, but baseball caps.

Get that Condescending prick to pronounce anything correctly in Japanese or Hebrew or Swahili, then let’s see how good he is.

A “hat” collection of baseball caps? Answers be d@mned, this guy IS a creep! The absence of real hats in modern society is a firm indicator of the decline of civilization. There are 16 hats within my line of sight as I type this. A CAP IS NOT A HAT!!! Demo, we now agree.

Treblecch is from Canada.

Canadian questions to make The Dark Master happy and to hold off the prophecied invasion of U.S. by Canada.

I knew you’d come around Zenster.

I could probably stand Alex Trefuck if he would just stop his pitiful attempts at humor. That really makes me gag.

Anyone remember in the movie White Men Can’t Jump when Rosie Perez beat a rocket scientist and a Ph.D in English (or some other such smart professionals)? My favorite category was “Foods That Start With The Letter Q”. Also the celebrity Jeopardy! thing on SNL was funny until they ran it into the ground. “I’ll take ‘Swords’, Alex.”

I think to make Jeopardy! more interesting they should put people on who are applying for US citizenship and answer trivia. The nights winner would receive his paper work and the other two would go back to Upper Elbonia. I mean, who really needs to know how many seats are in the house of Reps. Like *that * means anything.

At least this would pre-qualify people trying to enter our country being able to read and speak english. And when Alex Trebeck does the mini interview, it could be at least interesting when asking Mexican illegals trying for naturalization:

" How long have you been in America?"
“Two days, alex. I polevaulted over the wire in Bent Pants, Texas and hopped a train to LA and here I yam. I loove Ahmerika.”
All Asian peoples entering the game it would be mandatory for them to answer questions in catagories that have answers that begin with R’s or L’s.

“Rhat is Wock Wobster, Ahrex.”
I, for one would tune in to watch some Russian Guy answer a music question:

" Vat is za doo rhun rhun."

Oh, the entertainment value of this would boost it over Millionaire tenfold.

Most excellent un-PC post there Shirley Ujest! You are welcome in my threads anytime.

As for you Demo, I have to agree, Trebec is only slightly more funny than Bob Sagat. But try to imagine Pat Sajak or Bob Sagat running the podium. I shiver just to think of it.

:::bowing:::Thank you thank you!

You obviously missed the International tournament…

Can’t remember which country the contestant was from (Northern Europe…Denmark, maybe), but in the ‘Languages’ category he gave us probably the best speaking faux-pas I’ve ever seen on Jep…

(Done from memory. The gist is right, though some details are probably wrong.)

‘If a Japanese doctor tells you to stick out your “Shita” you will display this.’

‘What is your bum?’
