Serious question

Skinner wouldn't answer this question in ATA - will you?

Would you rather watch Jeopardy hosted by Pat Sajak or Wheel Of Fortune hosted by Alex Trebek and why?

It would be interesting to watch Vanna White trying to turn those screens around on the set.

It would be great to see Trebek trying to maintain that smug know-it-all attitude when "NEW BABY BUGGY" pops up on the puzzle board.

Since it is faked that makes it a racist joke.

Would you rather watch Family Feud hosted by Bob Barker or Price Is Right hosted by Richard Dawson.

Bob would be kissing all the FF women on the lips and Richard would be making the PIR women shove their hands in his pocket.

Sajak would ruin Jeopardy. Wheel of Fortune is not my idea of entertainment. I would RATHER watch the Green Acres rerun.

for an April Fools Day setup and I think they did pretty well but I kind of preferred Trebek just because I like him more. The Wheel episode is a charity one so it's not the real contestants and was overall way too cheesy. Real contestants would have been quite a bit better I think.
