Ha ha! Suck it, Trebek!
No but I had a dream with Weird Ale in it.
I have not watched Jeopardy in years, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the death of Merv Griffin would be seen as an opportunity to the Left.
Who is Obama, the guy without a birth certificate?
Alex, I’ll take Reasons Why the Media is a Failure for 100.
Maybe there are so many potential correct replies that they simply won't bother with this one. ;)
Oh, I saw it. Very telling in my opinion.
It was blue.
The dress was blue.
Um, it was a blue dress.
One early memory from around spring of 1971. I was just a little boy dreaming on one of the first warm days of the year. The windows were open in my bedroom and I was woken up by a light breeze pushing the curtains against my face. The radio downstairs was playing "Doesn't Somebody Want To Be Wanted" by the Partridge Family and for a few surreal moments, all was right with the world.
Later that day, I was severely beaten up by a gang of kids on bicycles and so the day did not have such a happy ending. But it sure started out good. The next 8 years of my life were pure hell.
But getting back to Jeopardy, I never really watched that show but I sure did flip by it a number of times while changing channels. Another good show from that lost era - The Waltons. It comes across as a little dopey now but back then, that show was something to look forward to. Were families really like that during the Depression? Everytime I take the I-77 exit off I-81 in Virginia and head towards Charlotte, NC, I think about the Waltons. I'm not sure they actually lived in that section of the Virginia/North Carolina border but it sure feels like Walton country to me - especially when you drive down that long mountain (just after the border).
I saw it; the Jeopardy staff is clearly writing some of these questions with a distinct political slant (the show is now owned by Sony). BTW, I took the test and qualified as a contestant a few years ago. The show “contestant coordinators” were on site - a very obese guy wearing a remarkably dirty t-shrit out of his trousers (this sloppiness clearly showed contempt for the contestant wannabees) and a less than pleasant elderly lady. The fat guy openly made it very clear that older white guys wearing suits were not welcome as contestants with some comment about they wasted their time traveling for the tryout (most of those who passed the tests that day were older white guys) which astonished me given supposed federal protections against age discrimination.
all of these types of game shows manage to inject in leftist politics.
Alex, I’ll take, “Which modern president’s father was a British citizen” for $1000.
Jeopardy doesn't provide questions, it provides answers, the contestants respond by providing a question which fits the answer, including contraints imposed by the category. For instance, "Words with two double letters".
I recall the category was "1961" and the Jeopardy answer was "This President was born in Hawaii on August 4 and has the papers to prove it." The successful contestant responded, "Who is President Obama?"
It is a gratuitious provocation, I agree, since if he as the papers to prove it, he's never shown them. I, for one, believe he was born in Hawaii, but his birth certificate contains other embarassing information, like his father declaring his race as Arab, rather than Negro. Who knows?
1961 ws interesting because it is the last year that reads the same upside down until 6119. They never pointed that out.
Whats the difference between President Obama and His Dog BO?
BO has Papers!!
Ha ha! Suck it, Trebek!

You mean blue dress....LOL...I’ve watched Jeopardy for decades - in fact have tried out once - and I have definitely noticed a lib trend....think it started when they “partnered” with the NYSlimes, whatever the hell that means.....
i’ve noticed the same thing. they love richard nixon questions.
their questions about republicans always negative, the ones about
dems positive.
I don’t watch Jeopardy, it reminds me of how stupid I am.
