Even MORE Wolf Blitzer Jeopardy Humiliation..... (On edit: This has to be staged)

Edited on Fri Sep-18-09 10:33 PM by woo me with science

Turns out Andy Richter did a comedy bit filming the backstage banter and the practice game before the actual Jeopardy celebrity tournament. During the practice game, a stand-in for Alex Trebek led contestants through a bunch of questions so they could get the hang of using the buzzer and responding in the form of a question.

Poor, poor Wolfie bombed the practice, too. This is comedy gold.

Here is the link. Watch the second video on the page (first one is the actual tournament).

1. Why is the fact that Wolf Blitzer bombed on Jeopardy a matter of such interest?

He is human,after all.

Just like me.

And you.

6. A man who, by all rights, should be well educated and informed..

Turns out to be a clueless dweeb.

That such a powerful person is so ignorant is surprising to many I think.

This is someone who helps set the agenda in America, that he cannot answer quite simple questions is a real indictment of our nation's power structure, IMO.

8. He's a journalist, for God's sake!

He discusses various topics on the air every day with experts in a wide range of fields. He should have picked up something from all of that. Doesn't he read books? He lacks general knowledge.

I think the fact that Blitzer failed so spectacularly against a comedy-show sidekick speaks volumes about Wolfie's qualifications as a journalist. Sure he's "human". But he is supposed to be a "smart, knowledgable human". It looks like he ain't.

Damn!

3. Okay....I changed my mind. No way that was real.

They had me until the final Jeopardy question. Surely this was a joke after the fact, and Wolf participated to save face.
