Ken Jennings Teases Alex Trebek
Above we have a bit of tongue-in-cheek from five-time Jeopardy contestant Bob Harris who pokes fun at life-time supplies and other oddities in Trebekistan.
While below we have further proof that -- besides voting for George W. Bush -- Middle America does have a sense of humor. Jeopardy's all-time leading winner Ken Jennings kidded the show and its host, Alec Trebek, on his blog and suggested some changes that should be made in the excerpt below:
"First up, the categories. Maybe when Art Fleming was alive, America just couldn't get enough clues about "Botany" and "Ballet" and "The Renaissance," but come on. Does every freaking category have to be some effete left-coast crap nobody's heard of, like "Opera," or, um, "U.S. History" or whatever? I mean, wake me up when you come up with something that middle America actually cares about. I think it would rule if, just one time, Alex had to read off a board like:
⢠PlayStation
⢠The Arby's 5-for-$5.95 Value Menu
⢠Reality TV
⢠Men's Magazines
⢠Skanks from Reality TV Who Got Naked in Men's Magazines
⢠Potpourri."
