Way back when, my SIL was on jeopardy. She is one of the smartest people I know. She froze and missed an obvious question for her. Great show.

 

 

Most of us got a little more worldly while finding out how 'dumb' we are.

only fond memories of watching the show sporadically over the years. Thanks Alex.

 

Not knowing trivia doesn't make you dumb.

 

As a kid I remember the show before Trebek, there was a different host. It was way too dry for me at the age of 9 or so. Even as an adult the whole "The answer is" thing seems too gimicky for me, had a hard time watching. SNL did a skit of the show years ago, I think Sean Connery was a contestant (can't remember if it was the real actor or not, I think not). It was so funny my gut hurt. Maybe it's online somewhere.

What about not being able to discern what I meant with the quotation marks around dumb?

(I put them there because I agree with you, but tried to capture the fleeting emotion when you just can’t quite come up with the answer (question) )

They did a bunch with Sean Connery. Now they are both gone. Wonder if they do a tribute skit...

 

Yeah, after I posted here, I watched several old skits of SNL on youtube. Hilarious, Ferrel played Trebek well IMO.
