Yes it was.
Yes it was.
Oh yea. Bari Weiss— the famous liberal first amendment-loving journalist and female lesbian Jew and married mother. Yea— she’s soooo oppressive. LOL.
It’s funny when Che and Jost do the Weekend Update thing where they put words into each other’s mouths. But with such a wide canvas to paint on why is it ALWAYS RACIAL? With such a big opportunity to red-face your co-worker, it never goes further than, he’s a clueless white-boy with a famous wife, and he’s a black…
Assertions not facts unless you back up accusations like that. WTF are you on about here?
Obviously I’m chatting with an agent or PR guy here. “But Ken transcends that Mormon stereotype, and often surprises me with his knowledge and clear appreciation for alternative culture.” Alternative culture.....lol. You mean Culture. It’s just all culture. And btw I have no stereotype of Mormons. The ones I know…
Ok here’s an example. A few Eps ago a contestant gave a shout out to her BF. Ken thought it meant Best Friend. Contestant said, no Boy Friend. Then Ken argued. And the contestant said Best Friend is BFF. And Ken said, well it can mean both instead of saying “hey I learned something new!”
But we love her!!! She’ll show depths upcoming I’m sure!
You’re really putting a lot of words in my mouth here. What is the Jeopardy GOAT? Whether I think Jennings chin is weak or his manner bland doesn’t detract from the fact that he possesses zero wit on a hosting spontaneous level. Does that now describe for you my criticism? Bottom line— every game show host should be…
Honestly I think neither of them belongs here. I was kinda looking forward to LeVar Burton. But I strongly object to your saying my observations are surface level. I went pretty deep with the whole personality-free stuff. He’s blander than white bread and Principal Skinner combined.
Right. Hosting is its own thing. Not acting. Not being a contestant. Not being deadwood. Sparkle and facilitate!
Yes, that character had years of hurt and layers uncovered by Culkin, eh. Right now the Principal from Abbot E is about as deep a one of the Housewives of South Philly.
Well.... there was the moustache. Then not a moustache. Then a moustache. Very Zen. Lol.
That sentence is semantically null. I’ve never seen him not host?? huh? I’ve always seen him not hosting?
That’s uncalled for.
Oh-- also-- Mayim shouldn’t be there at all. Stiff was too kind a word for what she’s doing up in there. Love her, but she should go back to the lab or write more books. This really isn’t a good gig for her.
Dude— we can certainly disagree, but I’ve been watching this show since 1983. I really do hope that Ken Jennings develops some interpersonal and presenting chops here if they’re gonna keep him. But his manner is priggish, unworldly and slight. And I really resent people here bringing up that he’s Mormon. Like that…
She got a whole episode! JFC. Watch then comment.
Perry was open about everything. He wrote a book about it. He would not have been ashamed about being a cautionary tale. And it wasn’t a secondhand report. The report is primary and public.
I find it highly interesting. I don’t like obits that don’t list the cause of death. How a person dies helps us confront the many ways in which we all confront death and our own mortality. And it hasn’t “become standard”— it was always standard. It has become standard NOT to list a cause of death these days. I know…
She was a bit stiff. But certainly preferable over the personality-free Ken Jennings. Seriously, has this guy ever interacted with humans before? He acts like the hall monitor from grade-school that doesn’t play at recess, has no friends and is allergic to milk.
