WHAT A F_CKING MORON

I love Sajak's reaction........"NOOOO...."

 

I saw this live. What a dingus.

A few minutes later, the clue was "Sticky _icket," and he asked for a "p."

 

And that, in short, is the difference between Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!

Sticky picket? A Streetcar Naked Desire?

Never let it be said that ignorance can't be costly.

 

What Sajak said at the end was the funniest part.
"Although you got the right answer, I'd rather see Kevin's play."

 

Nerdy as it must sound, I DVR "Jeopardy!" to watch in the evening -- it's on in the middle of the afternoon where I live -- and was thinking this week how grateful I am that the great powers-to-be in TV allow one game show that demands some real knowledge and brain power from its contestants. Most of what's out there is just snarky nothingness and pure luck. If "Jeopardy!" is for nerds and eggheads, sign me the F up. Feels good to learn a few things that are outside my normal 9-to-5 -- and even better to nail some of the tough ones when the contestants blank.

 

Still my favorite:

 

As Martin Scorsese's game show sponsor character said in Quiz Show, "You can accomplish the exact same thing [ratings-wise] just by making the questions easier. See, the audience didn't tune in to watch some amazing display of intellectual ability. They just wanted to watch the money."

 

i've taken the Jeopardy contestant test a few times and, man, the questions are a helluva lot harder than what you normally see on the show. Which makes sense bc they're trying to vet the best contestants and they don't want to feature a show where no one knows the damn answers.

 

Whereas with Wheel of Fortune or The Wall, they don't want people who are too smart. And with Family Feud, they just want eccentric people that Steve Harvey can make fun of for the whole show.

BTW, if you think Jeopardy is tough (and it is), wait until 500 Questions comes back this summer. The contestants are all college professors and NASA engineers.

I average about two-thirds to 80 percent correct on an episode of Jeopardy. On 500 Questions, it's more like a third to 40 percent.
