Jeopardy! is no doubt one of America's classic trivia shows. Professors, nerds, geeks, rocket scientists, librarians, and encyclopedia addicts typically fill the three contestants stands on a daily basis. Occasionally a normal person gets the opportunity to take up space in Trebek's world. I would not consider myself a hardcore Jeopardy! watcher, but the sight of the average Joe coming back as the returning champ is not crossing my mind. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against dorks like Ken Jennings (pictured). In fact, maybe I am just jealous that they know that The moon's farthest point from the Earth is referred to by this term. Oh wait, no. I am not jealous. But I am jealous of the person who spent the time to put together that website that I just linked. It has every question and answer to every show in the history of Jeopardy!. That is who should be getting the thousands of dollars in my honest opinion. OK, so at this point you may be wondering when I am going start elaborating on the title of this entry. The time is now. Alex Trebek, as you know, is the show's host, and has been since 1984. If you have ever watched even a portion of a show, chances are you were able to catch a glimpse of his egocentric demeanor. He may laugh at a contestant's answer, or even make fun of their hobby. "Only 500, alright." Sorry Alex, not everyone bets all their money all the time on the daily double like you would if you were playing. But of course, if you were playing, the other two players might as well not even show up. Because Mr. Trebek, you'd run the table! For any Trebek lovers out there, I am sorry, but he is just an arrogant jerk trying to make you feel bad. Is it really possible to act like he is all-knowing when he has the answers in front of him? Who is he fooling really? Only himself. Lucky for him though, I will still periodically tune in on a weeknight to watch an episode of Jeopardy! A four lettered name for a jerk. 'what is Alex?' Correct for $2000. Big, small, it's not for something, yet half for nothing. Peace. Thursday, June 18, 2009
I'll take 'You are a jerk for 1000' Alex

He may be a jerk, but he's not as smart as he seems on the show, with his history of car accidents because he fell asleep behind the wheel.
