I haven't watched any episodes with this guy, but it's weird to me the people complaining about him and his style. Bottom line is that he gets the answers right and has enough faith in himself to risk the money. It's not like he's cheating—he's going all in on his ability.
I, for one, cannot wait until he loses. And I really hope it is to a woman.

Re: Jeopardy
I did well at the beginning then started faltering halfway through so I QUIT. That's what I am, a quitter.

Re: Jeopardy
You should apply for Jeopardy JUST so you can walk off the stage halfway through double.

Wow—Alex Trebek says he's in near remission: https://www.ctvnews.ca/entertainment/te ... Lab0bjbqxA
Even if he's being overly optimistic and all that, this is a much better result than I would have thought given his age and the cancer's stage.
