Title: Pat Sajak's web presence
Post by: Twentington on January 16, 2011, 05:35:50 PM

I was on Twitter and I just noticed his account is gone entirely. Also, his website shows nothing but a placeholder graphic.

What happened? Did Trebek finally convince him to retire? :D

Your guess is as good as mine... :P

Says on twitter his account was suspended. Odd.

Maybe someone figured out that his password was "buyavowel" and hacked his Twitter and web accounts?

Considering your hatred of Drew Carey and Conan O'Brien, I'm not shocked at all by this statement.

Humorless people really piss me off.

Well, I must say that there are various types of humor.  Creative humor is extremely funny in my book; immature/pointless humor is not impressive at all to me.

I don't understand the humor in crushing yogurt containers on TV for no reason.  Then again, Gallagher smashed watermelons pointlessly for years and I never understood that either.

To each his own.

That's so vague as to almost be irrelevant.  You might as well have said "If I think it's funny, then it's creative.  If I don't think it's funny, then it's immature and pointless."  It's possible to understand and even appreciate the humor of a Gallagher or a Will Ferrell without finding it funny yourself.

You make it seem like goofy slapstick humor is something new. The stuff that current talk show hosts do is nothing new (see Steve Allen on the original Tonight Show).
