The Times jeopardy host Alex Trebek made
a sarcastic teasing or just straight-up
rude comment or joke towards the
contestants number 10 Utah and hos
apparently Alex doesn’t think too much
of Utah after reading a clue about
long-handled gardening tools and immoral
pleasure seekers the famous jeopardy
champion Ken Jennings gleefully answers
what is a hoe ken what’s a hoe no and
may we just say that is a gloriously
mischievous smile the contestant has on
his face while saying it and the best
part is he isn’t too far off once the
audience laughs Alex makes a snide
remark about Jennings learning that in
his Utah School they teach you that in
school in Utah
what’s a rake a rake is right it’s a
pretty lame joke but then again they
aren’t paying Trebek to make the
audience laugh number 9 Alex gives a
history lesson I stayed in the chapel
where ambolyn actually got beheaded or
she’s buried her head is buried Alex
seems to fancy himself a history
professor in this blooper from the
contestant meeting segment Alex talks to
a woman who tells the story of staying
overnight in the Tower of London
however she makes an innocent mistake in
saying that she stayed in the chapel
quote where anvil in actually got
beheaded that’s your story right she was
beheaded outside yeah okay good
Alex then stares at her and rudely says
get your story right before telling her
that Boleyn was beheaded outside we
understand Alex wanting to correct a
contestant this is jeopardy after all
but did he have to do it in such a
condescending manner let’s start this
again
number 8 an experienced contestant
there’s nothing like a good sex joke on
Jeopardy after giving a clue with the
correct answer what is a love triangle a
contestant rings in and
correctly answers what is a threesome
Kara what is a threesome once the
audience is done laughing at her gaffe
and another contestant gives the correct
answer Alex turns to the camera and
tells the audience that Kara has had
much more experience than he kara has
obviously had much more experience we’re
sure this joke was made in good fun but
then again we’re also pretty sure that
Trebek just made massive assumptions
about Kara’s choice of bedroom
activities well you have met our
threesome for this second at semi-final
match number seven looking solid to me
if Alex isn’t condescendingly correcting
contestants Pia sarcastically commenting
on their performance all right Jared we
come to you you had a dollar looking
solid to me in this episode of Jeopardy
the contestants entered Final Jeopardy
with $1 $11,100 and $8,800 upon going to
the defending champion who had $1 Alex
sarcastically said you had a dollar
looking solid to me before getting to
the hilarious answer K Bert Zillah which
is Alex Trebek backwards
I heard that sends you back to another
dimension sends me back where another
dimension hey when you know you’re
screwed anyway why not have some fun and
yes I will go back to another dimension
as soon as we deal with the other
players you have no money left
we admit it’s a pretty funny joke but it
also comes across as a little rude the
guy is trying his best there’s no need
to make fun of him number six ha ha ha
no there’s nothing like laughing
directly in a contestants face to make
them feel good about themselves area
what is wrote under ur know after giving
the painfully brief clue more rubicund a
contestant by the name of Daria gave the
admittedly funny response quote what is
wrote under er Alex apparently thought
this was pretty funny
because he proceeded to have a hearty
laugh before concisely saying no and
wiping the smile off Dario’s face going
for colour not size we don’t know what’s
funnier the long and run out laugh or
the hilariously succinct no either way
this is a savage Trebek moment for the
ages
number five the time he called a budding
journalist a groupie no not all rock
journalists or groupies while talking to
a college student named Lindsay Alex
learns that Lindsay wanted to become a
journalist after watching almost famous
a movie about a teenage journalist who
writes for Rolling Stone want to be a
groupie another word
after correctly telling her that William
Miller followed a rock band
Alex rudely says quote so you want to be
a groupie in other words after Lindsay
defends herself and tells Alex that she
finds music interesting
Alex confidently turns to the camera and
says to the audience or maybe if she
just wants to be a journalist number
four Alex makes fun of the group for not
knowing football Dallas Cowboys this one
is admittedly pretty funny but sure
enough Alex can’t help himself from
making some snide remarks the category
was talking football and the contestants
didn’t answer a single clue I can tell
you guys are big football fan right
after the very first clue Alex
sarcastically says that he can tell
they’re big football fans and it only
gets better from there do you think we
should go to commercial after the second
clue he asks that they should go to a
commercial and he says they should look
at the final clue quote just for the fun
of it afterwards he tells the
contestants he will die if they get the
final clue correct if you guys ring in
and get this one I will die these people
clearly don’t know football and Alex
will not let them forget it number three
laughing at a contestants dead pet most
of the entries on this list can be
attributed to a harmless joke told
poorly this one is just straight-up
employed while meeting the contestants
Alex learns that Laura had a pet goat in
college that died after eating a bag of
concrete mix what wait a minute was it a
60 pound or an 80 pound bag because
Oh Lex you’re being insensitive Alex
been jokingly asks if it was a 60 pound
bag or an 80 pound bag and Laura calls
him insensitive Alex then leans against
the lectern and has a good laugh at
himself before admitting that he was if
you didn’t think so before this video is
absolute proof that Alex Trebek gives
zero words that begin with F number two
calling a contestant a weirdo Alex isn’t
afraid to get personal during the
meeting segment Alex talks to a
contestant named elspeth green a
graduate student who once trained a
goldfish we trained the goldfish to swim
through a hoop elspeth tells the story
of training her goldfish to swim through
a hoop which included buying a training
kit online and dispensing food near the
hoop so the fish would swim through it
while she’s telling the story Alex looks
down in disappointment before turning to
the camera and telling the audience that
they get some weirdos on Jeopardy he
learns he probably forgot only do we get
smart people as successes on Jeopardy we
get some weirdos
luckily Elspeth laughs so she clearly
didn’t take offense
besides goldfish training is totes read
number one losers in other words a lot
of people may defend Alex’s quips but
people certainly took offense to this
one Alex talks to a contestant who’s
into nerdcore hip-hop people who
identify as nerdy rapping about the
things they love she explains that the
Shara covers topics like video games
science fiction and having a hard time
meeting romantic partners losers in
other words
ALX ven says quote losers in other words
and you can literally hear the audience
sigh in disappointment this was so
notorious that many mainstream media
outlets including variety the New York
Post and Entertainment Weekly picked up
on the story and plastered the headline
on their websites and it clearly struck
a nerve for a lot of people she ended up
winning the game with 22,000 Oh take
that
