Oh yeah - his celebrity jeopardy skits were hilarious. But they were written for him, and he was the straight man.
And the biggest jokes in those skits were all based on this out of the blue hostility that Sean Connery has for Alex Trebek. “That’s not what your mother said last night, Trebek.” Rofl.
“Connery”s mispronouncing the categories cracked me up.
“Oh yeah - his celebrity jeopardy skits were hilarious. But they were written for him, and he was the straight man.”
I feel the same about Steve Martin. He was much better in movies where he was the straight man. When he was the comic lead he tried way too hard.
