Ugh I hated that guy.

Alec Trebex used to be my landlord and he told me that all the Jeopardy contestants are paid actors. None of it is real. It's as scripted as the WWF. And as a matter of fact, Mr. Trebex used to work for Vince McMahon's father back in the 60's when wrestling was the national pastime. He was known as Cournelius "Coyote-man" Califak and he was a 3-time tag team champion. Anyway, it was soon after that when he realized that wrestling was a sucker's game and the real bucks were in game shows, but he didn't just suddenly forget everything he learned from the McMahons. He knew that entertainment can never be a hostage to truth. He spends just as much time writing the scripts, writing the contestant anecdotes, picking out their wardrobes and wigs, as he does coming up with all the questions. So, if you think this Chu guy just showed up out of nowhere and started drumming up controversy, then I got a bridge to sell ya.

I highly doubt this is true. I specifically remember people on this board posting about WFU alums being on the show that they roomed with in college.
 
I can't figure out how Jeopardy is still going strong. Nobody I know has watched it in probably fifteen years, around the time the categories turned totally gimmicky and stupid. Trebek is an okay dude, but it's time to put this show out to pasture.

We don't watch every night routinely, but we do have it on a good amount after dinner.

Didn't see the eps with Chu but sounds like it would've been amusing (not annoying).

Also I thought Colby was hilarious. I like that guy.
 
Wonder what Sean Connery thinks of Chu messing with Trebek.
