Celebrity Jeopardy

[CanadianGuitarist]

Ken Jennings actually did an interview for Golf Digest (more on that later) where he said he did everything he could to use "Not a fan of the ladies, are you Trebek?" but it never came up.

 

Anyone notice every time he's on a talkshow or what have you now, he loses an impromptu game?

 

This happened on CBC's The Hour, where he and a buddy of host George Strombolopolous played, with roughly half the questions/answers involving skin bars.

 

Golf Digest used to have a feature where they would ask two golf-related people the same ten questions, usually general trivia about say, the college a player went to, the home country, tidbits about their favourite players growin up, etc. Phil Mickelson actually beat Jennings 6-5. If I'm not mistaken, the answer that clinched it for Phil was "Who is Phil Mickelson?"

Here is the article. They rigged it for Lefty. No Mickelson questions, though.

Ah yes. I was thinking of the NCAA question, which Mick was a part of, #6.

Well, at least it was blatantly rigged.

Connery: I'll take SWORDS for $100

Trebek: That's S Words!

 

It went something like that:

 

Trebek: Asks a questions

Connery: Answers it

Trebek: Tells him he's incorrect

Connercy: You wouldn't have known the answer to that if it wasn't for those cards, Trebek!

 

 

That last one was where he Trebek showed an object, not asking a question.

 

Trebek: I'm going to show you an object and you tell me what it is.

Connery: It's a man with a mustache.

Trebek: No. Mr. Connery....I'm not the object. I haven't even shown it to you yet.

*Trebek pulls out a hammer*

*Goldblum rings in and takes forever describing how in "ye olden days" criminals were placed on the device to be tortured*

Trebek: You means the stocks, or a pillary.

Goldblum: Yes!

Trebek: It's a frickin' hammer!!!

Connery: Now you listen to me Trebek! You wouldn't have known that if you didn't have those cards! I'm telling you the man reads from cards!!!

 

 

That was from the awesome Jeff Goldblum, Minnie Driver, and Sean Connery episode. Among the great lines was:

 

Trebek: You drink water out of *this.*

Connery: A leather glove!

 

great quote but you skipped "Minnie Driver" guessing what the object is right before "Conery" said you would have known that...... she said "Its a popsicle" and "Trebek" replied "Are you English, or retarded?"

Connery: "I'll take 'The rapists' for $400."

Alex: "That's 'Therapists', Mr. Connery."

 

Alex: (To "This is the sound a doggy makes.") "We would've accepted 'woof' or 'ruff'."

Connery: "Ah, 'ruff!' Just the way your mother likes it, Trebek!"

Sharon Osbourne: I'll take "How many fingers" for $400, Alex!

Trebek: -siiiiigh- How many fingers am I holding up on this hand? -holds up three fingers-

Connery: I've got a finger for you, Trebek! -begins unzipping his pants, camera cuts to Trebek-

Trebek: Okay, please don't cut to him. -Connery laughing in background- That's not a finger and you know it!
