I started to lose interest in Jeopardy! years ago, when it became more about catching hints from the questions than about actual knowledge. Since Alex Trebek died, I just don’t bother watching.

And if you’re a regular viewer of Jeopardy, you know how much they dumb down the questions for “celebrities.” The SNL videos with Will Farrell as Alex isn’t far off.

I was in the studio audience for two episodes of “Washington Power Players” celebrity Jeopardy. I observed:
Alex seemed like a genuinely decent fellow.
The questions seemed easier than usual, but the “power players” got fewer of them right than usual. They also left more questions on the board than normal Jeopardy contestants.
Chris Matthews is ignorant, arrogant, and stupid.

I agree. I think I would have remembered that Iowa was the state in the movie, but I think of the Nebraska Cornhuskers so it can be a little confusing.

I watched the entire program. The women were just eye candy. O salt was fairly sharp and racked up the money. Yes the questions are easier on CJ.

We’d be shocked at the answers to “This War Between the States was fought in which century?”
Or “The New York Yankees play in which city?”

Iowa is officially the “Hawkeye State”.
Nebraska officially really is the “Cornhusker State”.
Jeopardy was wrong, the contestant was correct.

These are some of the smarmy jack-wagons that look down their noses at the rest of us.
What a collection of morons.

Really?
It is Nebraska Cornhuskers. Iowa Hawkeyes.

I knew it was Iowa. But aren’t Nebraskans known as “The Cornhuskers?” If you have to guess, Nebraska is at least understandable.

“Famous Big Ten team The Iowa Corn-huskers.”
I remember when they were a good team; about the same time as that other powerhouse, the Nebraska Hawkeyes.

The show has been dumbed down for along time already. Gotta make the illiterate dummies feel smart too.

I remember when the final Jeopardy question asked where the signing of the Japanese surrender ending WW II occurred. All three contestants got it wrong. I imagine most here know it was on the USS Missouri.
