09.18.09 ANDY RICHTER OWNED ‘CELEBRITY JEOPARDY!’

andy-richter-jeopardyUPDATE: high-res image via philadelphia will do

Andy Richter mopped the floor with Dana Delany and Wolf Blitzer on “Celebrity Jeopardy!” last night, finishing with a total of $68,000 that will go to his charity, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Wolf Blitzer, meanwhile, played the role of Sean Connery on Saturday Night Live’s spoof, minus the Trebek insults: he wound up thousands of dollars in the red. Apparently he’s too busy in the Situation Room to know what fettuccine looks like.

You can watch the entire episode below (see the 1:50 mark in part 2 to grasp Blitzer’s ignorance of pasta). And yes, I know: the questions are ridiculously easy. Still, Richter’s dominance is unbelievable: I kept a running tally of his performance, and he answered about two-thirds of all the clues correctly — twice as many Blitzer and Delany combined. He was incorrect only twice the entire game. (I can only hope that this topic surfaces on this evening’s “Tonight Show.”)

Updated intelligence ranking scale: comedians > actors > news anchors. I’m not sure whether to put reality TV stars before or after news anchors.

It’s obvious to me that Andy Richter kept fucking that chicken.

No, you put reality stars on “Deal or No Deal.” More their speed.

I, for one, am shocked to hear that Wolf Blitzer is a moron. You’d never know if from his mouth-breathing work on CNN.

David Duchovny is throwing knives at a cardboard cutout of Richter right now.

Farthammer says:

Also, I have to ask even though the proper thread was a few posts ago: I know Archer is the same animation style as Frisky Dingo/X-Tecles…but are the writers the same? Some of the throwaway lines last night were crushing me, and it was the same type of shit Xander Crews would say.

Leslie Nielsen of Naked Gun and Police Squad fane dominated that thing back in the day as well.

Trebek explaining how they’re going to let Wolf play final jeopardy even though he lost $4300 is so pitiful. Enjoy your free $1000 idiot

My charity would have been getting Dana to take her shirt off.

I remember learning a powerful lesson about how Vietnam was a tragic, tragic war. Does that count?

@Farthammer

Archer is written by Adam Reed, half of the creative team behind Frisky Dingo and Sealab 2021. There will be no more Frisky Dingo (a fucking tragedy of mismanagement by Adult Swim).

I love how the first three categories are puns on their careers then the 4th is randomly Scientists.

So Blitzer does not know anything about anything.
A comedy writer, comedian is apparently more well read than a well respected “journalist”.
Hmmmmm.

Comedians have outperformed pretty much every other type of celebrity on Celebrity Jeopardy for years. Newscaster = News Reader. Actors learn everything they know from newscasters.
