Jeopardy! Thread (No spoilers until after the show EST)

Yea Vanna being horrible blew me away. Hate Sajak but he’s great at what he does.

I just read that for the first time and holy shit there are a lot of people who don’t seem to realize that “ho” and “hoe” are different words

Don’t think Jeopardy is a promotion from Wheel. I’d much rather host Wheel, seems much easier.

Sajak did a good job hosting Jeopardy as well

Vanna seemed pretty stiff in the times I saw her as host.

Seems to be one of those jobs which is rocky at first but you eventually find a groove.

Nah, ho is actually ho’, short for hoe.

‘Hoe’ is a variant spelling of ‘ho’.

Honestly, Ken should’ve got that right. Wonder if he appealed.

So wait, Is there video of Alex hosting Wheel that same day?

yes

I mean, I feel like the word wasn’t canonized with that spelling until:

It’s very weird that Pat hosted a regular version of Jeopardy but Alex had that weird bastardization of Wheel.

Trebek couldn’t hack full on Wheel but Pat stepped in to a regular Jeopardy episode like a champ. What a pro.

Trebek was clearly a system game show host.

He did well on Classic Concentration

That question was such a set-up. Who uses“rake” to describe a person anymore?

Can’t remember where I heard this but someone was saying that hosting Jeopardy is uniquely challenging because the game moves very quickly so you need someone who keeps it moving while also guiding the audience through a lot of information. Wow that reminds me has anyone seen The Price is Right in the last 10 year or since whenever Bob Barker left and Drew Carey took over? I saw him early on in the gig and he was absolutely terrible; last time I watched he was passable but still wasn’t fit to hold Barker’s jock strap (assuming you need one for PIR). Cannot believe they didn’t give that job to John O’Hurley, who seemed like he would have been perfect for that show and it’s target audience.

Wow you are consistent. I left off the sarcasm/joke font and confused you again. Apologies

He’s still pretty bad. Just no enthusiasm. Every time I come across it he sounds bored.

Drew Carey? His earnings to talent ratio is outstanding. I second the John OHurley. Got to see him in person do a QA after a children’s play local performance that he wrote. Play was fun but meh but he was outstanding afterwords. We had a great time.
