It was a rough night for CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Thursday night's "Jeopardy!"
The "Situation Room" anchor came in last — and even in the red before Final Jeopardy — and lost to Dana Delany and Andy Richter.

I was watching that night-— LOL!
Another Celeb Jeopardy dumbass was Tim Russert. He did terrible throughout the show, then the Final Jeopardy question was about Washington DC and he blew it!
Not to brag, but I was on Jeopardy myself about 15 years ago-the real, non-celb one, and I did pretty well, but if Wolfie saw me at a town hall rally, he’d think of me as an ignorant conservative. Go figure.
I like our team!
Wolf is much like the President, as along as he has a teleprompter he sounds half way intellegent, but being a lazy liberal, much like Charlie Gibson, he doesn’t even keep up on current events.
I would love to pit MSNBC, CNN and FOX communtators against by time slot in a celebrity jeaprody, then throw in Rush on one side and Rhaum Emanuel on the other side, on the other side and they would really show the difference between liberals and conservatives. Without being able to use the DNC talking points most liberals would be lost.
Randi Rhodes, Chris Matthews and Mark Levin?
Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow and Michael Savage?
Maureen Dowd, Keith Olbermann and Neil Cavuto?
The seemingly ironic thing about this is that a “goofball” comedy side-kick beat a “respected journalist.” HA!
Something people don’t realize is that to be funny you have to know about the world and what’s funny in it . Comedians/humorists are generally some of the more knowledgeable people in show biz. Look at Dennis Miller and some of inane, cob-webbed historicals he invokes in the course of emitting an observation.
I’d also be that Jerry Seinfeld or Larry David could beat Wolf or Katie or Charlie at the same game.
We now have a new 'Rules'
I would not want to pick a fight with Fox’s Megyn Kelly. She is one tough, smart, and beautiful lady. Not necessarily in that order.
I just checked out Andy Richter's bio. His father was a professor of Russian at Indiana University for over 30 years. He probably has some smarts in him.
Indeed. I predict a marked increase in threads with Wolf Blitzer content. I was happy to ignore him before, but *now*, well...
:-)
Perhaps a search of the archives for older Wolf Blitzer threads is in order, to ensure that all conform with this new rule.
Wolf not only was slow to answer, nearly all of his answers were wrong! And the judges even dinged him for the Julia Child(s) question, so when he thought he got it right, he was still wrong. I noticed they let that slide at first, but then dinged him on it and he made a funny face. LOL!
Actually, this is his 2nd trip to Jeopardy, and on the first one, he did pretty well. That’s why he was invited to be on the Invitational Celebrity Jeopardy show.
How about Katie Couric vs. Janeane Garofalo vs. Megyn Kelly?!?! LOL
Looking for a caption? How about “I am ACORN”.
Those “Celebrity Jeopardy” skits on SNL are the funniest things they’ve done in years. Probably because they are so true.
You have to feel sorry for the Blitzed one, I have watched a lot of jeopardy but never have I seen anyone as clueless. Even Don Adams, no Einstien he, made a better showing than poor Wolf.
I may be in the situation room but I’ve never gotten myself into a situation like this.
Signed W.Blitzer
Wolf reminds me of the William Hurt character in “Broadcast News”, he only appears smart when people are feeding him lines, but on his own, dumb as a stump.
+1 for Dana!
To #2 and #18,
Thank you!
Strange example. Rahm Emanuel writes the DNC talking points and is extremely dangerous. All the more so because he has dual citizenship, so who knows where his loyalty lies?
Just one more item of immigration reform that has fallen by the wayside. Persons holding dual citizenship should be forced to renounce their non-US passports when going into governmental office. We do that for soldiers ...
Stupid actor week on “Jeopardy!”. So easy even a caveman could do it-but not liberal celebrities.
Blitzer was visibly mortified and Alex Trebek embarrassed. Every stereotype of air-headed talking heads was confirmed.
I am willing to bet that all three of the Jeopardy contestants have their college transcripts available or can be observed. Now, our extra smart intelligent President won’t let his college transcripts be publicized...I mean when anyone else in the US is hired a curriculum vitae is required for all to see. If Obama is so damn smart, let us see proof.... Until I see his curriculum vitae I will believe we have a dumbass affirmative action politician hoisted upon us.
mortified? I thought Wolfie looked downright wee weed off at somebody. He is more accustomed to be the smartest one in the room over at CNN. He probably doesn’t get out much just for that reason.
I thoroughly enjoyed Wolf’s fury when he got called on the Julia Child mistake.
“The Pen Is Mightier”
Holy mackeral.
