I was channel-surfing, and came across Alex Trebek on Kilborn's show, so maybe the West Coast and Mountain folks can catch the interview. It looks like he's plugging the new Jeopardy book, and Craig shows a collage of Alex over the years (1984-present). Unfortunately I came in right before the "5 Questions," so I didn't see any other conversation.

I'm truly sorry that you had to endure Craig Kilborn in order to see Alex Trebek.

That was surely not the best of circumstances, but it was still pretty good.

The last of the five questions was pretty interesting for die-hards. Alex was asked to name six game shows other than "Jeopardy". He named TPIR, then five of his, the last of which was "Pitfall" which he says it was.

I was surprised Trebek didn't try to phrase the answers in the form of a question.

I bet he gets really tired of people wanting him to do so.

Unless I'm mistaken...the book signing was last week. He promoted it on Regis and Kelly last Monday.

You think Craig Kilborn is bad... Comedy Central just brought back reruns of Strangers With Candy.... ok, I give up, what's so funny about Strangers with Candy?
