Not sure if this should be a dupe or related. This one has 8 seconds less... http://videosift.com/video/Alex-Trebek-is-a-jerk

I still think Will Ferrell makes a better Alex Trebek than Alex Trebek does.

I'm not 100% on the rules; are they free to press their button before the "answer" is finished being read? Like, someone offstage presses a button to allow answering once the announcer finishes reading? I say this because it appears that Ken is trying to buzz in exactly when the announcer finishes (though I suppose its more likely he just wants to make sure he's getting the whole clue).
Also is Watson listening AND getting a video stream of the clues? (edit; news articles appear to indicate Watson only listens)


I have seen players use the buzzer before Alex Trebek finishes, but that was many years ago. I don't know if that rule was changed.

Why was Alex Trebek racist?? The contestant was Indian, New Delhi is the capital of India, he missed the question. OH THE HORROR!

Trebek was being a smartass but I don't think it was racist either.

Hahah, did Trebek just get pwned for real or was this really a tension-relieving gag? I don't even know which is more unlikely.

Pffff...everybody knows Trebek knows the questions to the answers before they've even been given.

^Cheesemoo's got it right; I don't see it being racial either. Being the kneejerk liberal that I am, I'm prone to detecting subtle racism. And if I can't find it, it probably ain't there.

Which is not to say that Alex Trebek isn't an egotist. Which he most certainly is.

Alex Trebek, isnt it? or was it a joke? Isnt he super-famous in the States? Over here thats a completely fair question, since not everyone knows who he is here..

I played twice, as Saddam Hussein, the first time, the game thought I was Pinochet, the second time, Alex Trebek... wtf.

Alex Trebek: Mr. Connery, the board, unfortunately, is yours.
Sean Connery: I'll take quad raped for $300!
Trebek: That's quadra-ped, Mr. Connery... Quadra-ped...

Ahhh thanks!

"In the Family Guy episode "I Take Thee Quagmire", Adam West coerces Alex Trebek into saying his own name backwards, sending him back to the fifth dimension."

I remember him old SuperFriends series!!

Bootlegged from a video the X-Files crew made for Duchovny after hearing Bree Sharp's song. I know the quality's not great, but this is the first copy I've seen where the audio syncs up, so it could be worse.

You'll recognize the X-Files actors & Chris Carter, the creator - but here are the celebrity cameos, in order:
Janeane Garofalo, Charles Nelson Reilly, two "Baywatch" babes, Garofalo again, Jerry O'Connell, Alex Trebek, the women of "Frasier", Erik Estrada, Hector Elizondo, Kevin Nealon, Calista Flockhart, Rosie O'Donnell & Whoopi Goldberg, Melissa Etheridge, Jenna Elfman, Gary Shandling, Dennis Franz, Brad Pitt, David Spade, Sarah Michelle Gellar, George Clooney (in a wig), Pam Anderson, KISS, three porn stars (because Duchovny admitted in an interview he likes porn), and Jerry Springer.
