I missed this one. Jeopardy is my favourite show ever. Maybe after I lose my journalism job I can go write for them and embed rap references all over that beautiful blue board.

Think the New Mexico paper was on there too.

I love how the 2000 question is literally our most popular prime minister ever and no one gets it.

My favourite Trebek insult: what’s the difference between your mother and a mallard? I forget the rest but your mother’s a whore.

If Jeopardy really wanted to be cool, they’d have a category titled “insults hurled at fictional Alex Trebek on SNL”.

Naturally, the $2000 question would be “Who is Turd Ferguson.”

I SAW this!! And, yes, I knew that the answer was “Gourmet”– I would have owned that shit.

One of the questions was about the publication that used to “light up” New York (answer: The New York Sun) and another was on the Seattle paper that has managed to save itself by resurrecting itself online (answer: The Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

Sidenote: It was super interesting to note that in one of the “World Leader” categories, everyone could identify pictures of India’s Jawaharlal Nehru and Saudi Arabia’s King Faisal—but not one could figure out the photo of Canada’s Pierre Trudeau. (It was the $2000 answer)
