they get the tar beaten out of them.

Soledad O'Brien is losing badly to Kareem Abdul Jabar and Lenny from Laverne and Shirley.

Losing to Lenny doesn't surprise me
he was on a few years ago and cleaned up big.

7. So is Jabar.
It's one thing to lose to two smart people. It's another to be deep in the hole like Blitzer.

4. Love it.
I think I would actually pay to see Wolf Blitzer go up against Squiggy.

5. Soledad O'Brien isn't a journalist
she's eye candy, nothing more.

9. 'Lenny' is Michael McKean & nobody's fool
In fact, 'Squiggy' (David Lander) is pretty sharp as well.

I heard that Little Leslie 'Wolfie' Blitzer got trounced soundly when he appeared on Jeopardy.

13. I loved watching Wolfie get spanked!
That was so cool! They even gave him sympathy points!

:rofl:

Ok... I'm not going to read the rest of this thread because I'm going home now... and Jeopardy doesn't come on for a couple of hours;)

But thanks for the heads up! I can't wait! Bwaaahahhhahaa!
