he's a good player but i have an irrational hate for Brayden. part of it is that i don't want him to be trebek's last champion.

Intern for a libertarian think tank, go ahead and feel justified. Right there with you on the final champion thing.
Trebek's final week was meant to be starting today, with repeats to follow for two weeks before the (first) Ken Jennings fill-in run starts, but they've pulled the Best Of Trebek run up to start today.

aw i like how excited alex is about his streak, hitting every daily double, etc
― nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Monday, 21 December 2020 20:19 (three years ago) link
libertarian think tank ugh, but there've been so many underwhelming winners lately, which i assume is partly because they had to restrict the contestant pool to people within close driving range, so if alex gets to make with his exit with some legit jeop-worthy talent in the house, i'm happy for him.
― fact checking cuz, Monday, 21 December 2020 22:22 (three years ago) link
the right way for alex to leave is with a one day champion imo

So, uh, took longer than most but apparently old Ken Jennings tweets were dug up? Haven’t seen the tweets in question, but I read his... apology that seems to not be great.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 31 December 2020 03:55 (three years ago) link
those tweets get dug up every time he's on TV
― frogbs, Thursday, 31 December 2020 03:58 (three years ago) link
I honestly hadn’t heard about them before, this time they seem be getting a ton of traction and looks like it’ll cost him the full time hosting gig.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 31 December 2020 03:59 (three years ago) link
actually it looks like this is the one trending?

If that’s truly it, I’m baffled by some of the tweets I’m seeing calling him out for his shitty apology. Hint: it’s not just Republicans.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 31 December 2020 04:06 (three years ago) link
that's the one that's been trending lately, it looks like a lot of conservative sites are piling on him for that
obviously there are a few pretty distasteful tweets in his past but idk if they're much worse than say anything on a random episode of Curb

you see that sentence works even if he ends up not keeping the gig

pretty highly doubt ABC or whoever runs jeopardy feels like lighting money on fire over that joke tho, insensitive as it was

So glad that Brayden lost the other night. He was acting like a dick, too. Alex was reading off the Double Jeopardy categories, and one category was the setup to the next category's punchline. Brayden read the punchline before Alex did, and Alex said, "But it's not your turn to choose on Double Jeopardy, Brayden, it's Molly's turn." He sounded like he was explaining to a toddler why he couldn't have infinite cookies. It was pretty great.

i would normally be pissed about you "spoiling" a loss but i was deeply worried that brayden would be the final champion with alex and tied to him forever so that's such a fucking blessing i don't care.
