Does anyone else notice how Alex Trebek blatantly insults contestants on Jeopardy?

Asked by tinyfaery (44086points) October 17th, 2008

If you’ve been watching the last two days, did you notice how he totally burned the returning champion? He dogged her for winning a small amount of money and for not answering the final questions correctly? Is he drunk, or just an ass?

You can count on Sean Connery not to let Trebek get away with it.

The champ won again without answering the final question correctly. Watch Monday and listen for the insult.

Yeah, I’ve always wondered why no one has slugged him yet…

I hate how he corrects contestants when they mispronounce something – that they’ve gotten right! If they got it right, who gives a cr@p how they say it?! He is pompous, as if he knows all the answers and is not reading them off of cards!

@jsc: That goes for Fluther, too.

I think some of it has to go to their demographic.

The people who watch their game show, would they notice?

Also, they have taken away and given money based on single or plural, pronunciation of names etc. If he isn’t consistent throughout the game then that sets up the idea the answers can be as well.
