Oh man… Wolf Blitzer said that Jesus was born in Jerusalem during Celebrity Jeopardy last night. What a heathen! He ended Double Jeopardy with -$4,600, with super-easy questions too. And check out at how snooty he looks when Alex has to adjust his score for answering “Julia Childs,” earlier. Ha ha, Wolf Blitzer. Andy Richter seems so nice and smart.

Celebrity Jeopardy is like kids’ T-ball. Everybody gets to run around the bases no matter how bad they suck.
kind of felt sorry for poor Wolfie there
Andy Richter controls the universe!
domain: intelligence → comedians > “journalist”
Here’s the link to the pre-game rehearsal taping, from Conan:
http://www.tonightshowwithconanobrien.com/video/clips/andy-does-celebrity-jeopardy-091609/1158143/
Check out Wolf being all pissy and pretentious with Andy! Makes the real game all the more magical. But hey, it’s not all CNN-heads who are fucking awful at trivia game shows, Anderson Cooper cleaned up on the Jeopardy Power Players Edition a couple years back, it’s on the Youtubes
That’s right Wolf — normal people would get humiliated at this point — but since you’re a celebrity, the Jeopardy gods see fit to wipe out your debt and give you an extra thousand bucks. You’re like the AIG of trite, flaccid news.
Teevee clown Andy Richter, a future correspondent?
Nah. Too smart.
Wolf– a Jew born in Germany to Polish refugees 3 years after WWII?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_Blitzer
That’s really weird.
And his real name IS “Wolf”?
Andy Richter destroyed Jeopardy last night. I typically don’t watch, but by a happy coincidence, I caught the last 10 minutes or so. Wolf “(really?!)” Blitzer looked like an absolute flaming bag of idiot, even moreso than usual.
Yeah, but who would win a staring contest?
Jesus. Non-Celebrity Jeopardy isn’t even that difficult. Dingus.
They should put every basic-cable talking head on this fucking show, and see what happens. Who do we think wins?? Maher?? Shouting KO?? Steve Doocy??
Anyway, as Norm MacDonald/Burt Reynolds says, “Yeah uh, gimme apetit…”
“received a B.A. degree in history from the University at Buffalo in 1970. While there, he was a brother of Alpha Epsilon Pi. In 1972, he received an M.A. degree in international relations from the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies.”
Hey Wolfie, U of B and John Hopkins called and they want their degrees back.
this just means its only a matter of time before wolf quits CNN and joins the teabaggers…cause his intelligence level is just as smart as theirs.
The Julia Childs thing isn’t even that bad – he also identified a bowl of tube-shaped Mostaccioli as Fettucine (has this man ever eaten pasta, or human food?), he answered “Crash” for a clue that had the word “crash” already in it, and he couldn’t identify Ebenezer fucking Scrooge as the time-travelling Christmas curmudgeon from the story that nearly every English-speaking human is familiar with, including small children, watching the Muppet version.
But can Wolf dance like the Hammer?
[re=414124]ManchuCandidate[/re]: WOW. UB is supposed to be “better” than my alma mater of Buff State too. I must be real stupid.
[re=414120]Way Cool Larry[/re]: And you know who else was called “Wolf”? Hitler, that’s who.
This dude is just a dumb nazi reindeer, and yet everyone thinks he is the height of cable journalism because he got attacked by scuds or something. Then again, maybe he is…
And Andy went to the Year 3000, watched an old tape of the show and got all the answers beforehand…
Is it Friday, yet?
What magic mound of bad data will be dumped on the press this evening?
To be fair to Wolf, he played without his usual four producers, seven writers, two editors, directors, A/D’s, prop-masters, stylists, and most importantly: teleprompterz!
Could you bring me a roll of toilet paper? I had some bad chili last night and had to spend all morning in the “situation room.”
No one has commented about how nice Dana Delaney’s hair looked. It was very nice.
Eh, Andy is smart, Wofl is stupid, but Dana Delany is a stone cold FOX. Holy hell.
[re=414123]magic titty[/re]: If I could pick a Pundit 3-way, in a non-sexual way, but to compete on Jeopardy for King Of Cable or whatever, I’d have Cooper from CNN, KO from MSNBC, and Glenn Beck from Fox. Coops would control world affairs and culture, Olbermann could handle any sports or history categories, and Beck would have an emotional breakdown halfway through Double Jeopardy.
[re=414127]mattbolt[/re]: Also does not sneeze into his elbow.
Take away the CNN producer shouting in his ear piece, and Wolf’s got nothin’.
[re=414117]mattbolt[/re]: Boy, what an arrogant prick. And who the fuck wouldn’t know that ‘Ebenezer Scrooge’ would say “It’s Christmas Day! I haven’t missed it!” Wolf Blitzer, that’s who.
[re=414120]Way Cool Larry[/re]: No, there is substantial documentation that his real name is Shark Divebomber. He felt that name was not exciting enough for a big shot foreign correspondent so he had Orly Tainted change it.
Very messy!
Wolf Blitzer gives pens that say “Friend of Wolf Blitzer” to his friends/sycophants. This is a true rumor; I heard it from a friend who was a CNN correspondent back when the Iraq war was new and fresh.
“Wolf” must be polish-german for “Putz.”
What is the appeal of a video that consists of only the answers given a game show?
Is Andy related to Mike “I’m not gay” Piazza’s wife?
On his wikipedia page, his bio reads like so: ‘Occupation “Journalist”‘.
LOL. Nobody change that, ever. I want those quotes on his tombstone, this former AIPAC stooge.
This is the worst celebrity-game show matchup since Katie Couric tried winning America’s Got Talent with musical queefing.
i would like to put a birther, a deather and president obama on this show and see who would score higher…(and it would be just history and constitution questions…let’s open it up for rush, hannity and beck so all those guys against the prez…we all know who would win…but of course we know the teabaggers playing at home would be surprised.
[re=414139]mattbolt[/re]: We should use Fox’s most intelligent pundit…which would…Christ…maybe be…Hume? Good god would we have to go Hume, for intellect?
[re=414173]PlanetWingnuta[/re]:
“What is ‘the gold standard,’ Alex?”
“NO! FOR THE TWENTY-THIRD TIME, NO!”
[re=414156]graceless[/re]: Are you saying he’s married to Mike Richter, the former NY Ranger goalie? I’m having a very confused day.
[re=414173]PlanetWingnuta[/re]: Orly Taitz, Joe the Plumber and Sarah Palin
[re=414122]freakishlystrong[/re]: Jessica Alba.
Wolf Blitzer for celebrity Jeopardy? Couldn’t they get Murrow?
p.s. I have always believed Dana Delaney to be extremely hot. That is all.
You know when you answer questions with a question like answer, you’re in big trouble.
Example: Where was Jesus Born?
Answer: Jerusalem?????
Anderson Cooper has to be laughing his ass off!
He was $4,600 in the hole and they GAVE him $1,000?? SOCIALISM!
[re=414199]Norbert[/re]: On that p.s., you are completely correct, and with DVD/computer technology you can edit Rosie O’Donnell and Dan Ackroyd out of that bondage resort movie she was in.
Wolf is a source of information, Andy a source of Comedy.
funny
[re=414250]norbizness[/re]: Hmmmm, I’ve always found bondage about as arousing as, say, Dan Ackroyd, but for some DD, I could be GGG.
The battle of comedians vs. “journalists” stands thus:
Jon Stewart vs. Tucker Carlson (and the Crossfire gang) – winner Stewart
Stephen Colbert vs. Bill O’Reilly – winner Colbert
Andy Richter vs. Wolf Blitzer – winner Blitzer
Comedians:3
“Journalists”:0
You can’t blame him, he apparently spent all his time studying Austin Powers quotes.
But the real reason to watch this bizarro “celebrity” version of “Jeopardy” was to look at the still very hot and somewhat-milfy Dana Delany, who somehow managed to be hot wearing ridiculous glasses and answering weird questions/answers/whatever. Andy Richter, though, kicked ass throughout the game. His dad, a professor, should be proud.
Next week on “Celebrity Jeopardy:”
Levi Johnston, Meghan McCain and Jenna Hager Bush.
[re=414309]Anonymous Office Zombie[/re]:
Make that “winner Richter”… obviously.
Every time I watch Blitzer in action, I mistake him for a corpse with a head packed full of sawdust. Seriously, why the hell is this guy the head anchor of a high-profile news station?
Seems like Blizter should move to Oklahoma where he could be crowned king.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpKOm-LLRhA
Are you serious?!?
Andy Richter is a full $40k smarter than Wolf Blitzer. Damn, son.
Maybe Wolf was overcome by Dana Delaney’s beauty. I know I would be reduced to barely understanable ape like grunts if I was next to her.
[re=414128]MGBYG[/re]: Yes he can!!!
[re=414133]MGBYG[/re]: Opps….sorry..
Yes he can!!!
http://assets.236.com/GIF/dancingwolf.gif
[re=414496]groove[/re]: More; after Final Jeopardy it was $66K smarter. Would’ve been $72,600 if Wolf hadn’t been spotted the $1K before the end.
See the video MattBolt posted of the run-up to the real game.
See how Wolf sucks-up only to the “important” people, like Trebeck and the people with the cameras.
See how Wolf dismisses “unimportant” people like Andy.
Best of all, see how dumb Wolf is!
