"'Jeopardy' champ Jennings jabs show" (he's a real hoot, I tell you)
It's quite apparent that this guy probably has the social skills of a gnat.

NEW YORK (AP) -- "Jeopardy!" ace Ken Jennings, who won $2.5 million during his 74-game winning streak, has a few unkind words to say about the show -- and dapper host Alex Trebek.

"I know, I know, the old folks love him," Jennings writes in a recent posting, titled "Dear Jeopardy!" on his Web site.

"Nobody knows he died in that fiery truck crash a few years back and was immediately replaced with the Trebektron 4000 (I see your engineers still can't get the mustache right, by the way)."

<snip>

"You're like the Dorian Gray of syndication," he says. "You seem to think 'change' means replacing a blue polyethylene backdrop with a slightly different shade of blue polyethylene backdrop every presidential election or so."

You really need to read the whole thing. It's positively side-splitting. :eyes:

1. What an ass
The show made him a millionaire, and that is how he gets his kicks? Sophomoric pseudo-satire about the show which made him uh, rich and semi-famous?

He is from Salt Lake City, one of the worst hellholes in the country (Memo: Never drive through there again). Based on his "effete left-coast" comment and his home base, he seems to be a smug Repuke asshat. He sure knew a lot of the subject matter of those "effete" categories, eh? :eyes:

Hope he chokes on Orrin Hatch's vomit.
