A Friend is in Jeopardy!

July 22nd, 2008 by Bill Corbett · 18 Comments

Did I say “in?” Sorry, meant “on.”

Our pal Josh Fruhlinger, a.k.a. The Comics Curmudgeon, will be a contestant on Jeopardy starting tomorrow, Tuesday July 22. Check your local listings!

    JOSH F., in his natural habitat.

    JOSH F., now cleaned up real good; fully oppressed by the Trebekian machine.

    MARY W., educating Josh F. re: the ultimate formula for victory.

    ALEX W., so sexy that that nothing else matters.

*****

A: The utter annihilation of his opponents; the sewing of salt into their crop fields, so that no living thing ever grows their again. And Eskimo Pies.

Q: What is something we wish for Josh as he goes on Jeopardy tomorrow?

    Care to explain how you acquired a photo of a younger Alex Trebek with his shirt off?

    My mother has been searching for that item on eBay since 2004.

    Heck, I’ve always wanted to be on Jeopardy… just so I could say to the Alex:

    “If you don’t mention diet and exercise, I won’t mention High Rollers.”

    Bill it was very thoughtful of you to share the Trebek photo with us. Does Mike know you stole his prized photo?

    Thanks for the mention, Bill! I am nervous all over again, mostly that I have some horrifying facial tic that is about to be immortalized forever.

    For the record, that last picture is what you see at the beginning of the little-known third stage of the Jeopardy tryout process, right before Alex says, “You do want to be on the show, don’t you?”

    Here’s my fantasy “Jeopardy!” show -

    The categories are:

    NHL Rules
    Richard Corben
    Accounting
    Kurt Vonnegut
    King Diamond

    Then I’ll clean up!

    How about King Diamond On Celebrity Jeopardy…That’s What i’d Lik to see

    Reply from Smuttynose on July 22, 2008:

    My Categories:

    Beer

    I guess that’s just about it, really.

    Reply from R.A. Roth on July 23, 2008:

    Yes, King Diamond on Celebrity Jeopardy IN FULL MAKEUP would be a trip, and I was going to include beer as a category but then I realized I know less about beer as a subject than as a beverage, unless they agreed to a make it a bit more tactile, as in “I’ll take beer bongs for $1,000, Alex. HICCUP!”

    Least we forget that Alex is ’sexy’ AND Canadian.

    Pretty much irresistible in my books!

    It’s (wonderfully) real.

    He’ll be the most human looking human they have had on “Jeopardy” as long as I have watched. I am used to monotone, androgynous “women” on that show and men who look like they were dressed by the 1950s… The bad part of the 1950s…those happy days.
