Jimmy's coming back to Ben Stein's Money

Oh goody I get to tell my story. After listening to a talk Ben Stein gave in Pasadena, my friends and I went to meet him. While we were chatting, he asked us which of his co-hosts we preferred. My friend said “I like Nancy. Which one do you prefer?” to which Ben responded that he definitely enjoyed working with Jimmy more.

Later in the bathroom, while we were getting over our giddiness at having met a celebrity, my friend became very self-deprecating: “You know, I prefer Jimmy too. Ah geez, what was I thinking?!?! I can’t believe I said that!!!” Jimmy or Nancy. It may seem frivolous, but I’ve seen the angst that this question can cause.

Steve Beverly’s Game Show Convention Center confirms Jimmy’s only back for the 2-week college tournament; then Nancy’s coming back.

I like them both, even though they’re different. The sexual innuendo with Ben is a little different (and more enjoyable IMHO) with Nancy, but Jimmy’s better with one-liners. Jimmy is a better announcer (less strain to understand the questions), but Nancy is better eye candy, even if she’s more than a bit bony.
