I Google Image searched 'I hate Trebek' and this creepy topless selfie is what I pulled up
Is there a bigger asshole on TV than Alex Trebek? Fuck I can't stand that guy. Jeopardy! is one of my all time favourite TV shows, and it is a lifelong dream of mine to appear on the show. My head is chock full of so much useless facts and knowledge that I think I have a good shot of winning. At UWO me and one of my room-mates Joe would have nightly Jeopardy! challenges where we would keep track of our correct answers, I mopped the floor with him every night. The other boys would join in from time to time but they didn't stand a chance. We even had a Jeopardy! Playstation game, and I am pretty sure I hold the most points ever recorded in that game. (aside: that's the only video game I have ever been good at in my life). Alex Trebek has been the host of Jeopardy! damn near 30 years. and I for one think it's 30 years too much. He is such a smug, obnoxious, holier than thou asshole, and I am ashamed to say that he is a Canadian. Legend has it Dr. Stompin' Tom Connors wrote "Sudbury Saturday Night" to make people from Sudbury feel better knowing that their town gave birth to one of the biggest douchebags the world has ever known. You may be asking, why such the hate? Well first and foremost it is the horrible accents/impressions he does. Tonight's episode was the last straw and is what prompted me to write this blog. One of the categories was about Queens, New York and he read all the questions in quite possibly the worst New York accent of all time. It's one thing when there is a question about Arnold Schwarzenegger and he throws out a terrible Arnie voice, it's another to read a whole category as a greasy Frenchman, as the worst Southern Belle ever, or a shitty Russian. Kids in Grade 9 drama class can pull off better accents. Just stick to the god damned script and read the questions like a normal human being. Whoever told Trebek he does a good job at accents should be arrested immediately. Also, have you ever met a more condescending prick in your entire life?? Heaven forbid you don't pronounce something correctly, Trebek is all over you like a fly on shit. When you have a wrong answer in a Daily Double he is so fake and insincere when he tells those nerds they're wrong. Or how about when nobody guesses the correct answer (or I guess on Jeopardy! it's guessing the correct question...) he give them the right answer like he actually knew it all along and he wasn't just reading it from his cue cards. I would have to say the worst part of Jeopardy! has to be the contestant interviews. 90% of the people interviewed are about as interesting as Buzz Killington from Family Guy.
Who would like to hear a story about a bridge??
Seriously, some of the stuff these people come up with make me want to vomit. Obviously most contestants on Jeopardy! are giant nerds, so they go on about their Civil War re-enactment societies, or about their Magic Card collections. Some of these dorks even tell the story about the time they let lived on the wild side and went to a Star Trek convention dressed as Chewbacca. Anyways, Trebek makes these awkward conversations 100 times worse with his general awfulness and horrific jokes. Mind you, if I ever got on Jeopardy! I would probably just talk about this blog and my cats. The contestant interviews should cease immediately, I'm sure the contestants don't even like to do them. Anyways, Trebek has thankfully hinted at retirement, but I think whoever ends up being the new host will earn just as much of my scorn.
In conclusion..................
