It's not about his show. It is about his performance on Jeopardy. If you
are going to judge his Jeopardy performance on his other show I have to
ask if you even watched that or if you are just basing your opinion of
him on what others have said or written about him. Personally, being a
daytime TV personality would likely mean an automatic fail for me.


I made a deal with myself when I retired at 53 that if I ever found
myself watching Jerry Springer during the day I had to go out and get a
job. That guy has somehow managed to still have a show after all these
years of idiocy, so there is some truth to the old line about nobody
going broke underestimating the taste of an American audience.
