Next week: The Fox & Friends gang earns a collective $15 in Round 1, and spends the Double Jeopardy round complaining about the liberal bias behind the questions. By Final Jeopardy, Christian evangelicals have flipped Alex Trebek's car in the parking lot.
i can't think of any news anchor who seems smarter than andy richter. not that jeopardy tests intelligence, but still they're all kind of gravitas blow up dolls and richter is sharp.
Blitzer lost momentum by thinking there was more than one Julia Child and being unable to count `E's continued the rout. Except for that, he was almost average.
Can't forget: Props to Trebek (and crew) for his nod to SNL's Sean Connery on Jeopardy parodies in the last category, round one. Redeems the many lousy accents/impressions Trebek insists on using.
Why do we think our news readers are smart? Because they know how to read a teleprompter? Please. This country mistakes being on TV with being smart. They are news readers. Nothing more.
@TabithaIapetus: I still appreciate that glimmer of intelligence and engagement though.
There's a botoxed Barbie Doll newsreader in my Anytown who's been on the local news forever. When you first lay eyes on her, you're thinking, There's another dumbo anchor lady...but actually there's a hint of intelligence in her delivery; a spark in her eye that makes me not despise her like I despise all the others. It can happen.

I always thought the rule was the better looking the reporter, the dumber they are.
