Why would that be difficult for a woman, Trebek?

Is the original comic popular enough to people to know the reference? Saw it in the political cartoons thread once.

I'm just  that Wheel of Fortune was apparently getting better ratings than Jeopardy at some point. I mean Wheel is just such a "meh" gameshow that makes it incredibly difficult to win the big prizes.

Wheel is a lot easier and more predictable though, so I can see why it could be more popular. It's like the Leno to Jeopardy's Letterman.

I know people who think Jeopardy is “too intellectual” and has a “snobby” premise.

I manage to catch it about once a week because I don't feel like playing XCOM 2 instead. It's interesting in that they do everything possible to make sure no one wins prizes other than the prize puzzle.

Iron Crowned posted:I'm just Momentum is a hell of a thing, especially considering there was a five or six year break between the last time Art Fleming hosted it and when Trebek started. Wheel had been on tv in one form or another since 1975, on NBC, CBS, and syndicated.

I really have nothing against Wheel, it's just not as engaging as Jeopardy, nor does it typically have anything worth talking about afterward. It does make better background/party TV because you don't actually need to hear it to follow what's going on. Whereas you need to be able to hear Jeopardy to know what the right answer is.

I like the awkward silences whenever Pat says something to Vanna that would result in a harassment suit in any other job between the credits and the actual end of the broadcast.

Sajak used to be hilarious. It feels like he's been phoning it in for over a decade now.

It was ridiculously big here. Canadians loving love beer and there was apparently no length too far to go in order to get a bigger slice of that pie.
