Jeopardy! was never about the host. Now we’ve made it about the host. The reason it functioned so well for so many decades is Trebek’s humility and ability to blend into the background, offering charm during the moments when the show needed it. However I guess this is good publicity for the show. 

This would be a lot more interesting if they chose Michael Richards instead of Mike Richards.

“Why don’t you just tell me what category you want to choose?”

Yes, because Alex Trebek himself was such a bold, exciting choice when they revived the show with him in 1984. Ultimately, they hired a game show host to host a game show. Go figure.

Yeah seriously. On a Wednesday, huh? Why not just make it Sunday morning at 5am if they’re intentionally trying to fail?

Oh yeah, this was pure boomer porn.  Like Antique Roadshow, it made them think all the crap they had in their basements and attics were secret treasures and not just water damaged homes for rodents

I just hit up Box Office Mojo to see how Green Knight was performing and holy hell Snake Eyes has only made $25 million? That’s gotta sting.

I’d be inclined to inject this into the conversation: “You do understand that you’re throwing away the opportunity to make some money, right?  If you send me away then you have no chance whatsoever, instead of the rapidly diminishing chance you currently have.”

Loud drunk jerk in the cheap seats:

“White further confirmed that his son had not been vaccinated for the virus.”

This is my favorite sentence in the piece:

Someone please define ‘schism’ for the writer.

You are correct that “schism” implies conflict for which the article supplies evidence to the contrary. That said, this is the AV Club, copy editors don’t work here anymore.

This article uses the word “schism,” and to me that implies a fight or a breakup. I guess I’m not necessarily seeing that in what Indie Wire wrote up, where Burwell expressly says “It’s all amicable” and that Ethan just wasn’t into making a film at the moment.

The “Fargo Freezes Over” tour?

The sequel should reveal that Lara Croft is really the android that escaped from Oscar Isaac’s crib in Ex Machina.

Oh, there are probably a few questions more people are asking.

I don’t listen to Billie Eilish. Her music means the world to my stepdaughter, so I have some respect for anyone who makes her feel special & respected. She could be amazing but it’s not my call to make, & I’m not going to criticize anyone for their taste.

Also, saying she “one-upped” Cobain is by attacking the fans shows a profound misunderstanding of Cobain’s lyric. By saying “teenage angst has paid off well, now I’m bored and old”, it’s not just a weary groan about fame. It’s a warning to listeners (especially the jock meathead types who just moshed to it like they…

Then don’t install a second SSD. Grab a portable USB drive and store that way until the PS5 with a 2TB SSD is released. Then buy that one.

I just love how Vin Diesel threw out the word “Felliniesque” as if that descriptor has any bearing on the Fast and the Furious movies (which I happen to love). What does that even mean? It’s like words no longer have definitions. Anyway, I find the whole situation Kafkaesque.
