The Lady Has Boobies
Tuesday, November 27th, 2007I love to watch Jeopardy, especially at the gym, where I yell out the answers to my private television as loud as I can. Also, Alex Trebek is racist and sexist. Whenever a woman under 30 is on the show, he calls her “Young lady,” or “Little lady,” and when the contestants are all women, he makes some comment like, “Well, ha ha ha! I know one thing, and that’s that tonight’s winner will be a woman.” All of which is pretty benign. BUT I noticed this many years ago when there was some kind of children’s tournament and there was a black girl on the show. He asked them all what they wanted to be when they grew up, and the girl said a doctor, and without missing a beat Trebek said, “Oh, like the Eriq La Salle character in ER!” and the little girl smiled vacantly because obviously she didn’t watch ER because she was a child. Anyway, this stuff happens on every episode of Jeopardy, which is a pretty terrific show except when Trebek pronounces words in French. Also I would love to go on Jeopardy.
