CNN's Wolf Blitzer stands behind his negative number while Dana Delany and Andy Richter look on. Richter won with an almost unimaginable $68,000.
it was straight out of a saturday night live sketch. the score was in the negative numbers, and the contestant had a beard. however, this was not darrell hammond pretending to be sean connery. it was cnn’s own wolf blitzer, host of cnn’s ‘the situation room,’ making celebrity jeopardy history.
it was a sheer massacre! blitzer stood behind a blood red, four-digit, negative number while he beaten by dana delany and soundly trounced by one of the most deceptively clever people in entertainment – comedian andy richter of ‘tonight show with conan o’brien‘ fame.
it was fabulous. richter ended double jeopardy with $39,000!!! meanwhile, blitzer had a lowly -$4,600. at one point, they even stopped the game to rule against bliltzer and take additional money away from him because host alex trebek mistakenly gave him credit for a slightly incorrect answer. (blitzer said ‘juila childs’ (with an ‘s’) instead of julia child.) additionally, blitzer betrayed his lack of middle-east and biblical knowledge when he questioned an answer in the category of ‘e times 3′ (each answer was a word with three e’s in it) of ‘this town was the home of david and jesus.’ blitzer offered: ‘jerusalem.’ (the answer, of course, was bethlehem.)
towards the end, i began to feel bad for wolf blitzer. but my pity was quickly tempered by my amazement with andy richter and my non-stop laughter from yelling old darrell hammond/sean connery lines from snl’s celebrity jeopardy.
- ‘only on account of villany!’
- ‘i’ll take swords for 200.’
- ‘threeve.’
- ‘oh rough. just the way your mother likes it trebek.’
- ‘i’ll take ‘the penis mightier’ for $200′
- ‘you’ll rue the day you crossed me, trebek,’
- ‘febtober.’
- ‘oh, i’ll bet you do, trebek.’
- ‘terd ferguson.’
- ‘jap anus relations.’
- ‘the pen was too heavy.’
- ‘suck on it trebek. suck it long and suck it hard.’
- ‘the day is mine!’
- ‘states that end in hampshire.’
- ‘$texas’
it was pure comedy, and one of the best episodes of jeopardy i’ve ever seen. it was a colossal fail for blitzer, and offered yet another reason not to believe almost anything he says on ‘the situation room.’

Oh man, I wish I’d seen that! (“I’ll take ‘The Rapists’ for $1000, Trebek!” )
the SNL quotes are off the chizzang ;-)
Do unto others as you would have others do unto you.
I will not mock this man. I will instead pray for him.
well pray hard. he needs it.
you forgot the best category “connery” ever flubbed…”Anal Bum Cover for 200, alex!”
agreed. ‘an album cover / anal bum’ cover is a classic!
I haven’t believed most of the liberal spew from CNN, anyway.
But, thanks for the confirmation.
