Jeopardy

Has anyone read the tongue-in-cheek blog post Ken Jennings wrote about Jeopardy? Hilarious. Rusty especially will love it.

My favorite part is his suggestions for how to tweak the host role:

1. On Price Is Right, Bob Barker ends every show with a plug for his personal favorite cause. “Spay or neuter your pet!” or whatever. Something like this would humanize Trebek. I propose a new sign-off, along the lines of, “Can our returning champion do it again on tomorrow’s show? Tune in and find out, everybody. Legalize cannabis. Good night.”
2. You know how Trebek likes to read foreign words in these thick, strained accents, thinking he’s being muy auténtico? He should continue to do this, but instead of delivering them himself, he needs to have a little ventriloquist’s dummy with a sombrero to pipe in with those words. (The sombrero can be switched with a beret for French words.)

The media has picked this story up saying Jennings had unkind words for the show, accusing him of biting the hand that fed him and taking his comments out of context. Surprise, surpise.
