I'm genuinely surprised that so many people seem to take this obvious satire seriously. I mean, Alex Trebek having been replaced by a robot? Integrating angry bees into the format? US History being "effete, left-coast crap"? (I wonder how many of them really know what "effete" means.)
Ken has said there are things about Jeopardy! he thinks are kind of dorky, like the clue crew, but that he's always been a fan, and still is.
I think it's possible that if someone in the mainstream media takes offense to "effete, left-coast crap," they're doing so because the truth hurts. :)
