“Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek was slammed by social media users Tuesday after he asked a contestant if her job as an Army Master Sergeant was hard because she was a woman.

Trebek made the comment while asking the show’s three contestants basic questions about their lives to introduce the audience to the participants. Lisa Beth Davis, a retired Army Master Sergeant, took Trebek’s question in stride.

Trebek asked the woman: “That must be really tough for a woman because a master sergeant is giving orders most of the time. How was it for you?”

For me, Art Fleming will always be the host of Jeopardy.

Some people can’t take ‘yes’ for an answer.

A large number of those people are mentally ill libtarded snowflakes. ;-)

“Hate to think how angry they’d be over how ones like Bert Convy or Bob Barker or Gene Rayburn or (of course) Richard Dawson”

All those would not be in prison as sex predators in todays world. LOL.

BTW, I recall the practical joke when Alex was invited to a Trebekkie conference and thought he was surrounded by idiots.

We always watch Jeopardy. A few days ago, Alex said something to the effect that he wears something like Depends. If anyone saw this episode from last week, could they clarify?

What is worse is the number of articles that the “mainstream media” dedicate to Twitter responses. You have to wonder have many of these accounts are friends or phony accounts that are dedicated to creating the story in the first place.

I'll take "Dykes" for 1000, Alex.

Women should be obscene and not heard.

These commie “social media users” have names and addresses. Time to hunt them down and bury them in insults and threats. Better yet, stand these social justice wimps in baseball fields and public parks, and see if they can stand and fight.

SNL skit parody of Jeopardy. Actor/player portraying Sean Connery who harasses Trebek unmercifully.

Trebek tends toward being snooty with most of Jeopardy’s contestants. I don’t think he’s sexist, racist, etc. He’s just snooty.

Hate to think how angry they’d be over how ones like Bert Convy or Bob Barker or Gene Rayburn or (of course) Richard Dawson would treat female contestants back in a time like 1981, lol.
*************************************
Don’t forget the Groucho Marx quiz show where a female contestant said she had (something like) a dozen kids.

Groucho said he really liked smoking his cigars but that he would occasionally take them out of his mouth.

If that happened now, he would have been crucified by the liberals.

Thanks, I’m not too current on TV ‘personalities’.
