I think syndicated TV is a weirdly incestuous business, so they basically thought “What syndicated TV hosts could we pull in here.”
This twist of jeopardy hosts being progressively dumber is at least new.

Figured I’d mention it here because we were talking about Wheel of Fortune and Drew Carey. He was on Celebrity WOF with Teri Hatcher and someone else. He’s on the left and Hatcher is in the middle. It’s all for charity and it’s the final puzzle.
Anyway, Hatcher has the million dollar wedge. Both her and Drew are pretty much tied going into the final round. It gets to Drew and it’s obvious what the answer is. There’s like one letter missing. Since it’s for charity, the correct play is to make an error and let Hatcher solve because she has the million dollar wedge for the final prize. Again, it’s all for charity. Drew of course just solves the puzzle like the selfish dope he is.

It’s unnatural to give away money like that, especially when you’re playing to raise money for a charity.
It’s like the NFL when the correct play is to intentionally not score a touchdown. When your entire career is centered around scoring them, it’s hard to choose not to do it.
Can’t give away the chance to win thousands for your cause to let someone else win. Sure, it’s the rational thing to do (though it does depend on the charity in question). But I don’t think I could make that sacrifice knowing that there are a lot of people relying on me to make as much money for them as possible.
They were all guaranteed $30K no matter what happened. All the charities involved food drives to help with Covid. Drew was also hyper competitive on the show. I get it but it was still dumb lol.
Oz seems to have been a friend of Alex. Or he could be making that up.
Clearly is on after Couric to make her look better.
I suppose getting Ken Jennings to host was more fan service than him having a chance, wasn’t it?

they’re both terrible presenters but oz brings zero fun to the game. katie at least tried to phony it up but with oz it’s like he already read the reviews before he even taped it; he doesn’t even want to be there
What’s with the way Amal presses the button. It’s disturbing.
As a Michigander it never gets old. Traverse City.

So what do they do if they’re from the upper peninsula?
Nobody’s from the upper peninsula.

Good thing I asked. If I saw that I’d have wondered if they were just a really incompetent Michigander. Wrong hand and sideways? WTF?
WTF is a Soo?
