[Jeopardy!] Why yes, Sony is almost as evil as Walter O'Malley

[danny burstein]

obwnn:
a: Jeopardy! is frequently carried by the O&O's or affiliated
stations as WNN [1]
b: Jeopardy! is always on topic

[1] not in my current area, though, where it's carried by WDIV,
an NBC Red Network station

background: The long term host of Jeopardy!, Alex Trebek,
died a few months ago.

The show has been using "guest hosts" while they all try
figuring out what to do in the long run.

At the moment, Ken Jennings is finishing up his (3rd?)
week, but that's about to come to an end.

They've announced a series of upcoming "guest hosts", most
of whom are kind of "yeah, we'll see...", like Anderson Cooper [2]
and Katie Couric. Umm... well, maybe..

[2] yes, *that* Anderson Cooper

But one name they've announced has the Jeopardy! watchers,
who tend to be grounded in reality firma, going apeshit.

Sit down:

It's... Dr. Oz.

Yes, really.

Good article ripping this decision to shreds:

Word is that "Jeopardy!" released their most recent list of guest hosts AFTER Dr. Oz had taped his week's worth of shows, so complaints on social media are moot.

A way, WAY, much better list would be to use William F. Buckley, Jr.'s
suggestion about the Boston phone book [a].

But that would be eclipsed, by far, if they'd pick up
the phone and rotate the members of (the) LOSA!

I certainly don’t agree that Walter O’Malley was evil. After all, when we moved to California in 1957, I asked my mother if I could have the Dodgers follow me, and she said yes.

And thanks for bringing the Giants along as well!
