Today I was watching Jeopardy and one of the clues had a "joke" at the end, in which Alex Trebek used a word with -izzle suffix, ala Snoop Dogg. It was so awkward. It's always hilarious when he gets to the joke part at the end of the clue and acts like he just walked in on his boss in the can. He speeds his way through it as if to tell us he's sorry and it'll never happen again.
What does he talk to the contestants about at the end of the show? The music starts and the three contestants stand there, looking at him while he's talking away, apparently unaware that the winner might want to celebrate and the losers do not want to stand there on camera as idiots for the world to laugh at.
I can't even begin to imagine what purpose that segment of the show might serve. He is probably a real prick and the producers decided that it might make him seem more approachable to have him engage in conversation with the contestants on camera, but they realized that he was a self-centered jerk who loves nothing more than the sound of his gums flapping in the breeze and so began playing the theme song over his fireside chats with the unsuspecting victims. The viewers at home are then spared, but at what cost? Now it leaves us with all these unanswered questions...
He talks to them about his medical problems, bowel movements, gas, varicose veins, thumb lung, the screaming Sheila's, latest hemorrhoids, and of course his allergies.
