Thank you.

It's beautiful outside, Zach. You really should leave the house and see it sometime.

Chris, sometimes it seems you always know just how to handle every situation. I thank you.

Maybe he and Rachel should go for a walk in the park.

Oh, no! I said her name! Now Supergod's © gonna kill me!

Do they do L.A. Auditions anymore or is it just via the Wheelmobile?

For next year's April Fools stunt, Wheel and Jeopardy! will be switching contestant coordinators for one day.

"Daily Double!"

"I'll bet $5000, Alex!!!"

"You only have $1200."

"Oh, sorry!! Composters for four hundred!!!" (high-fives opponents, breaks signaling device)

"Apparently we have time for a TWELFTH puzzle . . ."

The story is that on the B&E shows, the contestant coordinator would wave a cue card at the contestants saying "EMOTE!" if they were looking too stiff on stage.

I've long thought that a great April Fools Day "J!" would be to have a show with loud and obnoxious contestants, including a screaming woman who would keep running over to Trebek and hugging him--along with "surprise Jeopardies!"--incorrect response, water or green slime pours down on you or you get a pie in the face from a midget or the Jeopardy! Girls.  Leave to your imagaination how they'd be dressed.  Also, imagine what the penalties would be for a DD.

Not to mention that instead of picking a category and an amount, lights race around the board and the contestant stops the lights with their buzzer, after screaming "GIVE ME EASY ANSWERS AND BIG MONEY, ALEX!--EASY ANSWERS AND BIG MONEY AND STOP!!!"

The premise would've been that Merv had sold the show to Chuck Barris--at the end, of course, Merv would've come out and said "April Fool!" and Trebek would've invited people to come back tomorrow for ther regular contestants and "J!" like you expect it to be.

How about this...have Ken Jennings on again, and he, of course, wins a lot more dough, then after Final J!, cut to Victoria Principal waking up from bed. She goes into the bathroom, and finds Patrick Duffy in the shower. Ken's run was all a dream.

Why, no, I have not been drinking...just had a little Coke...as in soda. Why do you ask? ;-)
