Thread Name: BS: Boycott Jeopardy!
Subject: RE: BS: Boycott Jeopardy!
Just watched the tape I made of tonight's show---and also his appearance on ---to me the most boring persona on TV (after Trebak) --Leno.   He (Jennings) was quite communicative---even more so than Leno I felt. He also did not give away the secret as to when it ends---but that is the strangeness of this advanced taping. He appeared live tonight---and the discussion revolved around tonight's appearance which was taped months ago. Ah--as said before---the gov't would be that clever in keeping its secrets and discovering other ones that need discovering (think 9/11 Commission report)

That said--the comments before re:   the "looks" of one of the contestants. I found nothing offensive--Alex T is usually bland (probably why they hired him--surely not for wit or persona and made him a lot richer than Jennings). As to Gypsum---nothing offensive either (they would surely edit it out if it were) it does remind me of the Car Talk sign off, as said by another poster, and also some Groucho Marx lines.

Bottom line----sit back, enjoy the show, and not take things that seriously---there are too many things out there that have to be taken seriously today. This is a really nice respite from that.
