Ken Jennings won a lot of money on the popular game show Jeopardy just a few dozen months ago. Now he’s telling them how they should run a game show.
In an insane list of “improvements” the obviously whacked Jennings lists:
Fourth, why are there no physical challenges? It doesn’t have to be Nickelodeon déclassé, buckets of green ooze falling from the ceiling. It could be tasteful and restrained. Like, if you know the answer, you have to run from your podium to the gameboard, jump up to touch the clue in question, and give the answer. “What is an Arby-Q?” Then you run back to your podium to select again. Some of these contestants, frankly, could use the exercise. Oh, also, there are angry bees.
It’s their game show for cripes sake. Jennings should learn to do like Bill O’Idiot of Fox News suggests all stupid people do, and “Just Shut Up!”
“The Post” gives the real scoop.
Thanks to John Gushue for the tip on the story.

Jennings should do his own game show. Like a cross between Jeapordy and Fear Factor. If you get a question wrong, then you have to eat a spider.

I want Will Ferrel of Saturday Night Live’s Celebrity Jeopardy to host a game show. Desperately.

It’s obvious you neither read nor understood the post Ken Jennings made. It was all just in jest (fun, a lark, a parody, emphasis on “PARODY”). If you had, you wouldn’t have made such a redundant post/comment as you did. Jennings and Trebek have nothing but respect for each other. Next time you wish to post such material, might I suggest you do a little homework first.
As a “follower” of Trebek, Jeopardy, and Jennings, I cannot believe you actually thought what Jennings had posted to be true.
Oh the shame of it all.
ANSWER=”Redundant”
QUESTION=”What was Saskboys post regarding Ken Jennings and his stint on the T.V. show, Jeopardy?
You do realize, I am just pulling your leg ?
I’ve seen you post over at “John Murney’s” blog and had to do a little “shit-disturbing”.
Have a good-one, SaskBoy.

Ed, you got me there for a moment. It pays to read to the end of a comment/story/blog entry, unlike Fox News and AP.

The sarcasm that was intended by Jennings in posting his suggestions is clarified in depth in his blog entries that follow it. I had never stumbled upon his site before but was pleasantly suprised by his witty humour. Thank You Sask Boy for providing the link!

You’re quite welcome Matt. I enjoyed skimming his blog too.
