I'm posting on a rather obscure game-show incident which has made it to my feeds, it seems.
Ken Jennings, the current host of Jeopardy! and The Greatest of All Time to play it, was asked during a stop-down question-and-answer session whether he deliberately threw the final game of his initial 75-game appearance on the show.
The person who even purported to ask that question could well have been removed from the taping.
Not only is the question ridiculous, and not only does the question actually ask Jennings (who didn't) to admit to a federal crime if he did, but he's now the host of the damn show!
Which would then mean that the taping which was taking place would have to be terminated -- and probably all future tapings as well.
There are a lot of things that I do believe are rigged in this country, including a number of game shows of the last thirty years.
Jeopardy! is not one of them.
