ken jennings has blogged about the henry gates arrest. huh.
The coverage of the Professor Gates arrest is starting to astound me–mostly Internet comments. I violated the First Rule of Staying Sane Online: “never look at the comments section under any non-sports story on a newspaper’s website.”

Having occasionally had the misfortune to read comments on sports stories I don't think you're helping your sanity reading those either. Jennings come off as an incredibly balanced guy.

The only time I have ever thought about getting TiVo/DVR/whatever is to watch Jeopardy! A total travesty that it's nowhere online or on DVD.

After the digital switch I lost the network that shows Jeopardy! in my town. Totally pissed.

That sucks! I get Jeopardy on two channels: one American, one Canadian.

man Wolf Blitzer getting his ass handed to him by Andy Richter tonight was one of the greatest Celebrity Jeopardy moments EVER

that new set is great; for some reason I am thinking they should change the Jeopardy intro music to AWK's "It's time to PARTY" except he'll sing "It's time for JEOPARDY" instead

haha, you suck Wolf Blitzer!
― iiiijjjj, Friday, 18 September 2009 03:54 (fourteen years ago) link
it was seriously staggering how boneheaded a lot of his responses were -- in a category where all the answers had 3 E's in them, after Dana Delaney fumbled and said "excerpt" instead of "excerpted," Blitzer rang in to say: ANNOTATED

not surprised per se, it was just crazy how BADLY wolf did, like it was almost like an SNL skit

that is way beyond a schooling just fyi - im not surprised wolf lost but gdamn - i mean negative on celebrity jeopardy where the questions are sooo easy - AWKWARD
― ice cr?m, Friday, 18 September 2009 17:00 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, he was in the red for pretty much the entire episode, and then at the end they gave him a free thousand to bet on w/ Final Jeopardy, and he got to double it with the softest of softball questions (something about "an actor that ironically lost a role as Vice President in 1960 for not looking 'presidential' enough")
― bitches love me on friendster (some dude), Friday, 18 September 2009 17:00 (fourteen years ago) link
Wolf was pretty bad in the training game, too. I thought The Tonight Show just edited to make him look bad, but it's clear that they didn't have to.

Does the returning champion on tonight (Jesse) remind anyone else of Puddy from Seinfeld?

This guy's going to win a buttload of money.
Stevie - the other two ppl had no money so they didn't get to move to the final round.

Good ep, couldn't really tell though if this guy was a genius or if he just happened to score a couple of sub-par opponents.

gifted children are the most disgusting savages imo, all with their polo shirts and their haircuts that cost more than $10. it's like get out of the library and go wrestle a dog in some mud or something like you're supposed to, you little turds.
