Havel Havelim #105
Soccer Dad dreamed I was a contestant on Jeopardy . . . .
Alex Trebeck surveyed the contestants curiously. Meryl, Yehudit, Israelly Cool!? He remembered when the contestants all had good Canadian names like Dick, Jane, Sally or Francois. What ever happened to the good old days, he wondered. That's right, that's back when the show was in New York and hosted by Art Fleming.The voice boomed, "Welcome to Jeopardy"
The camera panned over the contestants and settled on Trebek. "Welcome to Jeopardy - the special Haveil Havalim edition. With we have Meryl of yourish.com, Yehudit of Kesher Talk and Aussie Dave of Israelly Cool!.
The categories we have are Jewish Holidays, Terror, Antisemitism, Media and Politics, Meryl by virtue of an arbitrary decision you may begin.
Meryl, "I'd like antisemitism for $100, Alex" . . . .

I Lost On Jeopardy
by Al Yankovic
I was there to match my intellect on national TV
Against a plumber, oh, and an architect, both with a PhD
I was tense, I was nervous, I guess it just wasn't my night
Art Fleming gave the answers
Oh, but I couldn't get the questions right,
I lost on Jeopardy, baby (oooh)
I lost on Jeopardy, baby (oooh)
Well, I knew I was in trouble now
My hope of winning sank
Oh, 'cause I got the Daily Double now
And then my mind went blank
I took Potpourri for one hundred
And then my head started to spin
Well, I'm givin' up Don Pardo
Just tell me now what I didn't win, yeah, yeah
I lost on Jeopardy, baby (oooh)
I lost on Jeopardy, baby (oooh)
That's right, Al--You lost. And let me tell you what you didn't win: a twenty volume set of the Encyclopedia International, a case of Turtle Wax, and a year's supply of Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco Treat. But that's not all. You also made yourself look like a jerk in front of millions of people. You brought shame and disgrace to your family name for generations to come. You don't get to come back tomorrow. You don't even get a lousy copy of our home game. You're a complete loser!
Don't know what I was thinking of
I guess I just wasn't too bright
Well, I sure hope I do better
Next weekend on The Price Is Right
I lost on Jeopardy, baby (oooh)
I lost on Jeopardy, baby (oooh)
I lost on Jeopardy, baby
Note: Italicized lyrics are spoken by Don Pardo.
