Reason 150

TV's best game show. Since I was a little girl I have been keen on Jeopardy. Take one charming Canadian host (bring back the mustache, Alex!), mix in a balance of random factoids and genuinely important information everyone should know, add a dash of quirky, geeky contestants from all walks of life and you end up with the perfect appetizer to savor before submitting to prime time programming. I consider myself a bit of a smartypants and watching Jeopardy gives me the perfect excuse to lord my giant noggin' over my viewing companions, especially during the special tournaments that showcase middle and high school students. Really, could those questions be any easier? Jason, you come across as a very knowledgeable chap in interviews, referencing classic literature, astronomy, and historical figures on more than one occasion, so I am confident you would give me a run for my money if we watched the "classic thinking person's game" together (yep, that's actually how TiVo describes Jeopardy). I could also prep you for head-to-head competition if you are ever invited to partake in the Celebrity Tournament. Your colleague, Neil Patrick Harris, made an appearance a few weeks ago in the preliminary round and actually missed the Final Jeopardy question about the Beatles's song "Ob-La-Di." How embarrassing. Hasn't he ever listened to the White Album or, more importantly, caught a few episodes of Life Goes On? I'm sure you wouldn't have made the same gaffe, especially since I would have spent days quizzing you on everything from popular toys to world rivers to important events from 1910 (an actual category this week - ouch). If I were you, Jason, I would start greasing some palms now so you can fenagle a spot in the Celebrity Tourney for next year. I promise to cheer you on from the front row (and mouth some answers when Alex's back is turned). Just promise not to slip in any Sean Connery jokes or references about "the rapist" - Jeopardy is too classy for such tomfoolery.
