Alex Trebek to Jeopardy Contestant: You’re a Loser!!!

You don’t troll Alex Trebek and get away with it. A contestant named Buzzy Cohen found this out the hard way back in May of this year. But if/when Alex Trebek trolls YOU?  Well, you suck it up and take it and accept that you’re about to be on the wrong end of a hilarious viral video. Susan Cole just found this out the embarrassing way. On Wednesday night’s episode of Jeopardy, Trebek asked Cole what the “nerdcore” was about, as this was a piece of biographical information she had mentioned to producers. He prefaced his question by saying the concept “doesn’t sound like fun.” C But Cole tried to explain one of her hobbies so that Trebek and viewers at home would have more respect for it. It’s safe to say she failed, however. “It’s people who identify as nerdy, rapping about the things they love,” Cole explained. “Video games, science fiction, having a hard time meeting romantic partners. It’s really catchy and fun.” How did Trebek respond to this description? WATCH AND FIND OUT: Alex Trebek Slams Jeopardy Contestant as a “Loser” HA! How amazing is that? We feel a little bad for Cole, of course. Just look at the expression on her face when Trebek comes right out and calls her a “loser.” But she’s merely the latest in a long line of contestants to feel the icy cold wrath of an Alex Trebek burn. We can’t think of any this overt, but come on. Who can be mad at Alex Trebek? Remember when he rapped The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song? Alex Trebek Raps Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Theme Song Or when he ran down a hotel hallway naked and t ore his Achilles while apprehending a criminal ? Trebek is a global treasure. Hopefully Cole just considers herself lucky for even sharing the same stage as Trebek. Oh, and she also won $20,600 on the episode. So she ended the evening as a winner, even if she’ll always be a loser in the game show host’s book. That’s not too shabby. View Slideshow: 26 Great Moments in Game Show History

Ken Jennings, Iconic Jeopardy Champion, Under Fire for Insensitive Wheelchair Tweet

What is… things we did not expect to write about today? Ken Jennings – who made over $3 million during his incredible run as a contestant on Jeopardy – is facing major fire today for a totally random and very insensitive Tweet. Proving that even smart men can make dumb decisions, Jennings took to his social media page last night and wrote: “Nothing sadder than a hot person in a wheelchair.” Jennings did not put his quote in any kind of context (not that any would really excuse it; safe to assume he simply saw an attractive handicapped person) and it instantly drew a rebuke from followers. Many referred to the message as “hurtful” and “disappointing,” with a couple more notable examples reading: To any young people out there with a disability, you are perfect just the way you are. Ken Jennings can stick my walking stick up his bum. @KenJennings Wow. There are so many awful things about that sentence I don’t even know where to start. Jennings did not apologize or delete the Tweet, but he did acknowledge the negative feedback on a subsequent posting. When one user wrote, “Probably your best,” Jennings replied with: “The Internet does not agree.” No way would Watson the Computer have sent that Tweet or thought those thoughts. 16 Great Moments in Game Show History 1. Wheel of Fortune Bonus Round Solve: Amazing! Wow! This may be the greatest Wheel of Fortune solve in the history of this game show.

Les Grossman Shows The ‘Risky Business’ Of 2010 MTV Movie Awards

See how the ‘Tropic Thunder’ movie exec made the famous tighty-whities scene a reality. By Jocelyn Vena In honor of the upcoming 2010 MTV Movie Awards , Les Grossman (of “Tropic Thunder” fame) is sharing some “Great Moments in Movie History,” starting with a behind-the-scenes stroke of genius on the 1983 set of “Risky Business.” As we hear the intro of Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock and Roll,” we’re ready for a pants-less Joel Goodsen to come sliding out — only this time, he’s wearing khakis. Grossman makes it clear that he is not a fan of the chinos. “Did anyone else see this? Someone just took a dump in my eyes!” he shouts at the crew before tearing off the pants. “This is a teen movie, and teens love a–. Now dance, monkey! Let’s roll on this.” With that last-minute decision, movie history was made. Grossman is the latest high-profile name to get involved with the MTV Movie Awards promos. Justin Bieber recently hooked up with the show’s host, Aziz Ansari, and “The Hurt Locker” star Jeremy Renner, who yelled at the pop star to “relax on the chips there, cowboy.” Also, former Movie Awards host Sarah Silverman , along with Zac Efron, Diddy and Kristen Bell, gave fans a history of Ansari in a promo. “There was this Halloween once,” Zac Efron said of Aziz’s past displays of heroism. “Someone needed to step up and dress like a pumpkin, but no one wanted to do it except Aziz. He saved a lot of lives that day. And that’s why I’m glad he’s hosting the MTV Movie Awards.” Don’t miss the 2010 MTV Movie Awards , airing live from Los Angeles on Sunday, June 6, at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
