CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer did not look so happy as he competed with actress Dana Delany and comedian Andy Richter in a round of “Celebrity Jeopardy.”
The photo shows the scores at the end of the first two rounds.
For “Final Jeopardy,” Alex Trebek was nice and wiped out that nasty negative number, credited him with $1,000 and Wolf nailed that final answer with the correct question.

Alex was generous only because Wolfie was playing for charity.
Wolfie = FAIL.
Well what else do you expect from a last place network?
Ohhhhhh...
I was there, to match my intellect, on national TV,
Against a plumber, and an architect, both with a Ph.D.
I was tense, I was nervous,
I guess it just wasn’t my night.
Art Fleming gave the answers,
Oh, but I couldn’t get the questions right-ight-ight
I lost on Jeopardy,
Baby,
(Oooh.)
I lost on Jeopardy,
Baby,
(Oooh.)
Well I knew I was in trouble now,
My hope of winning sank,
‘Cause I got the Daily Double now,
And then my mind went blank.
I took Potpourri for one hundred,
And then my head started to spin.
Well, I’m givin’ up. Don Pardo,
Just tell me now what I didn’t win,
Yeah, yeah.
I lost on Jeopardy,
Baby,
(Oooh.)
I lost on Jeopardy,
Baby,
(Oooh.)
That’s right Al—you lost! And let me tell what you didn’t win: a twenty-
volume set of the Encyclopedia International, a case of Turtle Wax, and a
year’s supply of Rice-a-Roni, the San Francisco treat. But that’s not all!
You also made yourself look like a jerk in front of millions of people! And
you brought shame and disgrace on your family name for generations to come!
You don’t get to come back tomorrow! You don’t even get a lousy copy of our
home game! You’re a complete loser!!
Don’t know what I was thinkin’ of,
I guess I just wasn’t too bright.
Well, I sure hope I do better
Next weekend on The Price Is Right-ight-ight
I lost on Jeopardy,
Baby,
(Oooh.)
I lost on Jeopardy,
Baby,
(Oooh.)
I lost on Jeopardy,
Baby...
I thought the contestants had to pass a test of basic knowledge.
Blitzer an affirmative action contestant?
I watched the last half of the program I didnt know the other 2 players but I saw wolf Blitzer make a complete fool of himself I guess he got his job at CNN for blowing the boss. Couldnt believe the answers he was giving for the questions asked. The only reason he got the last answer was it was geared for a 5th grader.Or maybe it was just a lucky guess on his part.
Blitzer got pwned. Lol
In a category where all answers must have exactly three “E”s.
King David and Jesus hailed from this home town.
Wolf: What is Jerusalem?
Okay watched...Andy would have kicked my ass, but I would have kicked Wolf’s
I guess Wolf isn’t used to an environment where the information isn’t subjective or subject to interpritation.
Thank God Wolf isn’t black or Alex would be in big trouble.
LOL! You ARE kidding...right? Can WOLF be THAT DUMB???
Wolf is so poor...and so dumb...
Isn't Wolf part of the "fringe media filter" that Brokaw and Freidman said we needed to protect ourselves from the sewer of the internet? I think Wolf is one filter that needs to be changed!
Andy Richter was ON. But the questions were simple Trivial Pursuit types.
LOL! You ARE kidding...right? Can WOLF be THAT DUMB???”
IMO, last night showed only the tip of the iceberg with Wolf and his smarts.
If Wolf sat down at a checkerboard to play against a sack of doorknobs, my money would be on the doorknobs.
Oh little town of Jerusalem, how still we see thee light...
Yes, he can. He missed the one about where Jesus was born...He said Jerusalem...
You know, I worked in video production for 8 years and I could swear there was an edit from where he crossed his arms on the wide shot of the 3 contestants, to when they cut to the close up. I would love to see what was removed if that is the case!
Isn’t that what typical libs demand? Oooooh, I’m not so good at this so change the rules just for me - charity, shmarity...he LOST so take it like a man or something...
I woould have thought that Wolf would have done well in the “Two Letter Word” category - after all, he is a “journalist” ...
But, he was flamed by that intellectual genius - WAIT FOR IT !!! - Andy Richter ...
Ok, that is LOL funny.
But Jesus of Jerusalem has that nice alliteration going on.
Wolf was a total dumb ass.
However, he is well qualified for the job of journalist.
He got beat by Turd Ferguson.
;oD
I don’t know much about Andy but he was en fuego! He ended up with 30,000+ going in to Final Jeopardy.
Who is the chick with the glasses?
dana delany. She was on desperate housewives
“and Wolf nailed that final answer with the correct question.”
Final Jeopardy had one of the easiest clues I’ve ever seen. Basically, you had to guess which future president used to be an actor in 1960.
“I thought the contestants had to pass a test of basic knowledge.”
Not celebrity contestants. They are invited. By virtue of being celebrities.
“Andy Richter was ON. But the questions were simple Trivial Pursuit types”
Celebrity editions are always much easier, which makes Wolf’s performance all the sadder.
The regular show itself, in my opinion, has been getting easier and easier over the years, with the exception of the Tournament of Champions shows.
He’s on CNN. They don’t talk about God there unless its a documentary about how Jesus, Santa, and the Easter Bunny are all figments of weak imaginations.
I’m surprised he didn’t object on the basis that there is no God.
That's easy. Who is Al Gore? As everybody in my circle of media friends knows, he was really elected, not selected. I watched An Inconvenient Truth, and he was a fabulous actor! He must have had training from an early age.
Now where's my new car? We Bush Derangement Syndrome sufferers need charity too.
I noticed that too. Not long after they rescinded one of his answers that they had initially given him. He had said “Julia Childs” and they initially gave him credit for it. Shortly after that they came back and said that the judges were not allowing his answer because she doesn’t have an “S” at the end of her name. He was already being used as a mop on the floors, and when the judges stripped him of one of the few answers he had thought he’d gotten right, I could tell he was steaming mad. He crossed his arms in a defensive posture, and then suddenly the camera changed and his arms weren’t crossed. They obviously edited out something.
The cream of the elite, that one.
LOL!! I heard this morning, Wolf was down more than $4K. I’ve never seen any contestant that bad!!!
Great parody; thanks for posting!
4,000, it is rumored, is a record!
This has been my only laugh of the day and I am so grateful for it!!!
and what did she do to her face? series
Oh please! Who can’t answer the Celebrity Jepardy questions? ROFLOL He must really be nearly as smart as they try to make out he is! Yes there is a little luck involved with the buzzers and their order but geez the odds are that if you are pressing in to answer you are going to hit it sometimes!

This tells me that he was actually reading cue cards when he reported the first Gulf War.
