Does Alex Trebek owe Republicans equal time on his Jeopardy! game show? Answer: Yes, the show has become overrun by Democratic politicians and is only going to get even more politically imbalanced in the days to come.
Last week and this week, the popular game show, in which contestants are given clues and must provide the answer in the form of a question, has been presenting its annual "Teen Tournament" shows with young Americans as contestants -- and First Lady Michelle Obama presenting some of the clues. The show is being broadcast from Washington DC during the Teen Tournament.
On Monday last week, the show had an entire category of questions, entitled "American Grown" and focusing on healthy eating, with Michelle Obama giving the clues via pre-recorded video. Some of the clues were about legislation her husband had signed into law. Show producers also gave the First Lade time between rounds to promote her book.
Wednesday, the show featured pre-recorded clues by Vice President Joe Biden in the category "Cars in American History," which included a question about the car company bailouts. Between rounds, the show presented a video of Biden promoting President Obama's policy to raise the fuel efficiency standards for new cars to an average of 54 miles per gallon.

The category could be The US Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and historical facts.
I’d love to see him as a contestant on Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader answering 1st grade US History questions.
This yellow-orange vegetable is the President's favorite food.
Answer: What is a yam?
Yeah, right.
Haven’t watched Jeopardy in years. Now I’m sure I will continue to miss it.
I’ll take “The Penis Mightier” for $300, Alex.
“Trebek is a Canadian. Nuff said.”
Care to elaborate on that statement buddy?
‘Semper Fi’

Trebek has always struck me as slightly conservative tho I would not bet on it.
I have a friend who is very liberal and he likes Jeopardy. In fact he has tried out for it several times. He pointed out something to me which I had not noticed but since then it is clear that he is right.
He said they like to put two (or three) women on together when there is a woman contestant. Often there will be 3 men but seldom two men and one woman.
Perhaps Republicans should start a mail campaign on Trebek. ....yep. Republicans watch the show too. If they're smart, they'll present both sides.
Forget the clues, Alex. Lets talk about ME for awhile."
I can't stand the guy.
LOL. I’ll take “Anal Bum Covers” for 1000.
I guess I missed the “anal bum covers”...
“An Album Cover” I presume?
trebeck owes obama. remember he came out a few years back.
and what good would usa gay marriages do for that canuck?
he is probably a us citizen by now.
also this would mean his canadian “marriage”, if any, would be recognized in the USA.
well that’s a pretty kettle of maple leaves.
Watched the show for the first time in AGES last night while waiting at the OKC airport. Turns out it’s Teen Week - and last evening someone from my son’s high school was one of the contestants.
Anyway - two guys and a gal!
What is 57.
