The other night on Jeopardy, the game show had a category called Picture the Movie. It is very easy, Not only do the questions have emoji-like pictures to tell you the movie’s name, but Alex Trebek gives you a clue. That makes it twice as easy to answer every one of them. Don’t believe me, press play, and give it your best shot.
Alex Trebek is the most love game show because he is so he comforting to the contestants, most of the time. I say most of the time because every now and again, he gets real with them.
For example, yesterday when Trebek found out that teacher Will Satterwhite tells dad jokes to his students, the Jeopardy host asked him to tell one. The contestant said, “There’s two windmills standing in a field. And one says, ‘What kind of music do you listen to?’ And the other says, ‘I am a huge metal fan.'”
Only some of the audience chuckled at the bad (but I think funny) joke, and the teacher said that is the reaction he gets from his students too. To which Trebeck backed away from him and said, “And from me.” Total mic drop. Which is why we love, love, love him.
Don’t feel too bad for Satterwhite, he had the last laugh. That is because he kicked major a$$ and won the night.
Jeopardy wanted to see how well the contestants know Seinfeld, so they asked them some questions. Well, not Alex Trebeck, but the stars, Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Jason Alexander, themselves.
How well did they do? Of course, they got all the answers correct. I mean, who doesn’t everything about the show that is about nothing.
Tonight on Jeopardy, Alex Trebek answered an easy question, or so he thought. The host wanted to know, “As the recipient of the 2018 Icon Award, she took ‘Control’ & took the stage in her first live TV performance in nearly a decade.” If you still don’t know who that is, then the game show made it even easier by showing some video of the female singer at that awards show.
At this point, everyone is like Janet Jackson. Well, everyone but Alwin. He thought it was Ariana Grande. The contestant is a nasty ponytailist. He thinks everyone with long ponytails look alike, and we don’t.
Alex Trebeck is everyone’s favorite Canadian (apologies to the two Ryans). He is so lovable, and never intentionally says anything mean to anyone on the show. However, the other night he did.
The Jeopardy host was talking to a contestant about her favorite type of music, and he said to her, “It doesn’t like fun.”
What type of music is it? She says it is called Nerd Core Hip Hop. I never heard of it, have you? We are not alone, Trebeck was also clueless about it, so he asked what it is for $200.
Susan says it is for “People, who identify as nerdy, rapping about the things they love, videogames, science fiction, having a hard time meeting romantic partners. You Know?” This is where it got really good. Without hesitation, Trebeck responds to her with, “Losers, in other words.”
I have no idea where that came from because he always so nice, but I love it. It is so out of right field; I didn’t know how to react to him being all savage. Therefore, I had to watch it over and over again. You know what, it gets funnier every time.
When it comes to the musicians of Nerd Core Hip Hop, I can already imagine their diss back. They’ll be like, “We might be losers, but we are the ones playing Jeopardy. You are just the host!” He will tell them, “Yeah, but I live in a multi-dollar mansion with a much younger wife, and you live in your mother’s basement with a fleshlight.” With that, the mic has been dropped.
UPDATE: My friend told me this is an oldie but goodie diss. It originally aired in October of 2016.
