On Tuesday night, "Jeopardy!" contestant Roger Craig set a single-show record, winning $77,000 in his second night on the show. The previous "Jeopardy!" record-holder, Ken Jennings, went on to win more than $3 million in a 74-episode run, so expect Craig, a 30-year-old PhD student, to have more money than the state of California by Tuesday.
As you may have realized, our threshold for genius is quite low here. Our favorite contestants are the ones who spew obscenities, give seemingly drunken answers and faint on-air.
Keep reading for the videos of Asylum's most beloved "Jeopardy!" disasters.
Brainiac nerd hero Ken Jennings gives the immortal answer: "What's a ho?" The question is, obviously, "The way Ken Jennings will lose his virginity."
This contestant faked a fainting spell after realizing he couldn't possibly win. At least, that's what it looks like to us.
Is "Jeopardy!" live? How else could its producers explain the next video not being edited for broadcast or the fact that this kid muttering the F-word after giving a wrong answer about Natalie Portman (unforgivable, dude) was left unedited. (It's NSFW, obviously.)
The real question here isn't where this guy got the "sending Trebek to another dimension" joke (answer: "What is 'Family Guy'?"), but how he ended up in Final Jeopardy with only $1.
Sometimes the contestants aren't the ones to blame for weird "Jeopardy!" moments. Occasionally Trebek himself loses his famously calm demeanor and tries to become an Internet meme.
Of course, Trebek was the inspiration for Ron Burgundy -- and maybe even Bill "We'll Do It Live!" O'Reilly -- thanks to this basically obscene video of outtakes for a TV ad spot. (NSFW)

The saying your name backwards to get sent to another dimension. Not originally from Family Guy. Family Guy is referencing a Superman villain, Mister Mxyzptlk who would be sent back to his 5th dimension home if he says his name backwards.

The character from the Flintstones was called The Great Gazoo and he was was voiced by Gotfried. Mxyzptlk was in Superman comic books, & if I am not mistaken, some of the cartoons on TV.

Family Guy was actually spoofing Superman. What is FAIL?

Right... so, he's WRONG to say the guy heard it from Family Guy? Your comment is fail.

I meant, just to whet our appitites. Sorry.
Anyway, I'd love to see a musical montage of
Ken Jennings' entire 75-day run on Jeopardy.
Roger Craig is doing pretty good, himself.
Close to $200,000 in only 5 days.

I find Alex Trebeck one of the most handsome, sexiest and hottest
guy in entertainment, for real! I understand that he's a lot much
older than me, by decades but I love older men! He has this persona and aura to him that he's darn good in the bedroom if not
the best lover ever! Alex, if you're reading this, I promise to love, honor and obey you, if you leave your wife/gf for me, right
now! I come from a family with a lot of money ($780 million, approx), so you would never have to worry about working again and
I promise I would NEVER sign a prenup for you -- even if my Daddy
wanted me to! Alex, I'm in complete, total, utter love with you, and have been for a very long time!!!!

I think my favorite Jeopardy moment ever was when a woman contestant from Houston, TX mentioned to Alex that she had wanted snow on the day of her wedding. Trebek asked if it had indeed snowed on that day and the woman replied, "No, it didn't, but I got eight inches on my honeymoon."

A lot of this bohunk is staged. I sometimes get the impression when they leave answers on the board, it's by design. Oh, and discontinue the celebraty tourneys; a lot of the nonsense is faked.

The final jeopardy answer leading into this is now obselete. Melbourne was the only Olympic city in the Southern Hemisphere until 2000. Obviously that clip was before 2000. I believe the '00 games were in Sept, which is spring.
