>Traveling the country on a never-ending tour of small casinos, he plays blackjack for modest winnings

What’s so weird to me - and I do have to give him credit for pulling this part of the move off - is how easily and successfully he rebranded himself as “the producer of Jeopardy!”, and how well that’s stuck. My generation will always know him as the host of “Beauty and the Geek” (i.e., kind of the epitome of what’s…

It sounds like it was supposed to be Ken Jennings, but then enough people got upset over a few of his tweets that they thought it was too risky.

I don’t know, he did kind of have an icky relationship with an AI of a universally renowned warp field theorist without her knowledge.

Surely “is good at it” should be one of the requirements? Not that I watched him (or any of the other guest hosts), but it doesn’t seem like people who did were generally that favorable. I think they should aim slightly higher than “well-known, popular person who hasn’t done anything shitty on record”.

needs to demonstrate he’s better at hosting Jeopardy cause he was very lackluster in his run

All he had to do was creep behind the scenes like the cockroach he is. But nope, he flew too close to the sun for that hosting gig and invited the scrutiny

Someone once suggested Paul F. Tompkins for host. We need to amplify this worldview as much as humanly possible.  

Mike Richards out-fucking-up Michael Richards is truly remarkable. All he had to do was not steal the hosting job. This is like if Michael B. Jordan was better at basketball than Michael Jordan.

What’s really annoying is that even after these comments, it won’t get fixed. It’s not like you have recall a bunch of physical magazines. Just fix the webpage! It’s not hard. 

3/1 Champion-to-Campion ratio. 

Go build a house on a Native American burial ground and see how that turns out for you.

But will the animatronic fox still want to marry my dad?

“But I guess modern avclub also has no standards because, yknow”

yeah i preferred the av club in the 70s too.

And the motorcycle mission. Unless we love hearing “ all you have to do is follow the damn train CJ” over and over again.

Aretha Franklin needs to think about her whole life before she sings a song.

Contrast this with the cheesy scene in which Franklin is too-suddenly struck with the inspiration to compose the film’s title track.

It also annoys me that they’re heavily implying that she wrote the song, when it was an Otis Redding cover.

i noticed but it was nothing to freak out over. the cameo wasn’t special enough. she plays a dancer at a bar and got 2 seconds of screen time. at least have her do a twirl or something.
