[/quote]How hard is it, really, to say "Have you been to California before? Are you enjoying your visit?" or something like that. Maybe Jack was too busy with reminding us that the welcome is always cordial, and to remember to ask if the two players will be returning fifteen minutes later. Yeah, that cements my already low-opinion of him.

Kinda hard to imagine that this is the same person who was being goofy (and SOBER) on the High Rollers finale.

Although the thought that you've just heard Alex Trebek using the word "pwned" would completely make up for any bad feelings.

The eight words I want to hear from Alex should I ever appear on the show:

I lol'd.

Didn't I hear from somebody on these boards that Alex doesn't even remember Malcolm?

EDIT: Yep.

Quite a coincidence... your Millionaire appearance is on GSN now! (Your $1,000,000 question at least)

Good thing I didn't try to win the jackpot some weeks ago--I would've come up way empty.  I did think about it, though.

I know what you mean.  As much as I like some of the shows he created, he didn't seem to be the easiest person in the world to deal with, did he?  You'd think after being given a second chance in the '70s, he'd have been more cordial to the people on his shows.

That's the impression I got from him as well. Although a small nitpick, I found it annoying when he would call the contestants by their entire name during the gameplay.

"OK, John Smith, your turn.."
