Woman gets zinger past Trebek on Jeopardy (eventually may be considered an urban legend)

Jeopardy | June 6, 2002 | Contestant on Jeopardy

[Risky Schemer]

Though I'm not much for posting baby blue humor, I thought it should be posted here for the record, before it passes into the realm of "assumed legend."

I'm surprised it hasn't popped up on Drudge Report this morning (seriously).

It's like one of those things you hear that supposedly happened on Johnny Carson or the Newlywed Game but really didn't. But this one really did, and it aired last night. I don't know how it got through the show's post production.

It happened during the little "small talk" segment when Trebek chats with the contestants. The female contestant remarked that she had been praying for snow on her wedding day. She said it didn't snow on her wedding day, but added, "I got eight inches on my honeymoon."

I asked one person who saw it if he saw any reaction from Trebek. He said, "I thought I noticed a slight bobble."

[Risky Schemer]

This really aired last night. I figure there are plenty of Jeopardy fans here on FR who saw it. Someone please confirm "for the record" -- this is not an urban legend, though it will probably be considered one someday.

I ususally catch Jeopardy but missed it last night. Sounds like a good one.

[laconic]

I heard it; you're absolutely right that this happened and Trebek judiciously did NOT hit it out of the ballpark. The audience was respectfully silent.

[grania]

I think that's what she said. There must be some Freeper who's a Jeopardy fan and tapes it. Or maybe our minds are just in the gutter. What was Trebek's response?

[Sloth]

Did she win? She sounds like a lucky woman.

[1Old Pro]

The audience was respectfully silent.

perhaps the genuises in the audience don't get "simple" jokes and thought it was unusual that it really snowed 8 inches on the ladies honeymoon.

I'm surprised they didn't edit it out prior to airing. All the shows are taped.

"I got eight inches on my honeymoon."

D'oh!

LOL. Freudian slip?

[MotleyGirl70]

Gotta read this one!

Eight inches of snow. That's not too shabby.

[Tennessee_Bob]

Have to wonder if it snowed two or four times....

[b4its2late]

The honeymoon was 8 nights huh?

[Risky Schemer]

What was Trebek's response?

See above -- a "slight bobble" perhaps, but as far as I know no real tip off that he "got it."

[1Old Pro]

Have to wonder if it snowed two or four times....

That would be an unusual snow storm. I suspect it probably all came at once.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

That white stuff makes a mess. Not the type of thing I would want to deal with on a special occasion.

[Tennessee_Bob]

It's possible, but I'm thinking she might be looking at total accumulation, not just one time...

[Hacksaw]

I figure there are plenty of Jeopardy fans here on FR who saw it.

There was a Beavis and Butthead episode where the boys were watching Jeopardy. It showed Trebek saying to a male guest, "I'm sorry but the name of that country is Outer Mongolia!". This was shortly after the show was accused of making the questions more difficult for male guests. It was pretty funny.

[Semper Paratus]

She gave him a 'snow job'.

[Constitution Day]

Reminds me of a story I heard about the Newlywed Game, which I've never been sure was true or not.

[Clemenza]

Reminds me of the NY City Councilman who stated a few years back that the city should "bend over backwards" when the Gay Games came to town.

[codebreaker]

Hasn't Jeopardy been 'dumbing down' the game recently and taking people based on gender and minority status because too many white males were on the show?

[Rodney King]

I know the one you are talking about!

The host asks the black lady the strangest place that they have ever had sex. She replies "In the butt".

I don't know if it is true or not.
