Alex Trebek: Master of the trivial still has plenty of questions
20.05.12
WASHINGTON -- If 6,300 episodes of “Jeopardy!“ upon as scientific data, human beings can be classified as a cordial and sedate species, partial to demure wardrobes and sincere haircuts. Each human displays a rigorous grasp of general knowledge and possesses both a typical occupation and a charming anecdote that defines his or her life-force. They enjoy using their knowledge to win modest amounts of money, three at a time, Monday through Friday, on a soundstage in Culver Conurbation, Calif.
There is a fourth human who remains apart, behind a lectern near a wall of flat-screen TVs. He is also kindly and sedate. He is the host of the show. He cracks few jokes. He hugs no one. He wears suits in gray and navy. He announces categories and reads clues and says “Ethical“ or “Correct“ or “Yes“ and, sometimes, “No.“ He has all the answers, which means he knows all the questions. He cast-off to stand behind the lectern but now he sits. He used to have a mustache but now he doesn’t.
