Is there a more consistently awkward segment of TV than the part in Jeopardy when they make small talk for a quick bit right after the first commercial break?

>Hunter, this isn't your first time on television. I heard you were a guest star on an episode of "To Catch a Predator." What was it like meeting Chris Hansen?
>Amber, your Tumblr on misogynistic themes in yogurt advertisements receives how many thousands of hits per day?
>Barbara, you once wrote a novel that the publisher rejected because it was just 600 pages of thinly veiled copies of Harry Potter and Ron Weasley having explicit sex. How did your 37 cats react to this disappointment?
Jacob Mitchell
Wouldn't it at least make more sense to have the banter between the first and second round? Why do it in the middle of the first round, that's fucking dumb
William Hughes
this is good

Someone I know who worked on the show told me that Trebek actually likes this shit because it gives him a chance to throw in his clever joke or observation at the end of whatever the person says.
The sad thing is they actually rehearse these stupid anecdotes and plan it all out ahead. The problem is that like 90% of the people who make it to Jeopardy are clinically autistic and lead vapid existences.
I might be making this up, but I'm pretty sure that's how they used to do it. I thought I remember them finishing the interview, and then introducing the new categories. No idea why they changed.

Hunter takes this shit seriously
Joshua Taylor
The main reason why I haven't tried out for Jeopardy is that I have nothing to say in this segment.

Which is better than how other game shows pick their contestants. Remember Deal or No Deal, when they intentionally went for over-the-top annoying screaming idiots? That show could've been almost watchable if they'd gone with normal people.

Ken Jennings won 74 or so straight games of Jeopardy
imagine him trying to go through 74 of those filler segments
a good half of those were probably just Alex going 'why are you still here, fucking lose already goddamn'

I saw one episode of Hole in the Wall and it was a a bunch of sassy black women versus sassy gay fat guys and it wasn't a good thing.
Matthew Williams
Ken at least seems like a decent guy.
What I'm wondering is, how'd Trebek get through a month of sharing a room with Arthur Chu?

>mfw the round/game doesn't finish because Trebek is an egotistical stroke victim

oh man. the video went viral, every country had to make their own version, nobody realized it was just one segment on a variety game show and just people getting knocked into the water can't fill a half hour.
Justin Thomas
Needed a laugh, thank you user
Cameron Bennett
tfw hacking best game show ever and getting away with it
Eli Bailey
You reversed the order you dumb shit
It always goes from viewer's right to the left, cause the champion is the one closest to Alex and he always ends there
Oliver Perez
You have to provide 6-7 fun facts about yourself, and Alex gets to pick which one he talks to you about during that segment.
Daniel Richardson
it's more awkward when trebek tries to randomly/unexpectedly add his own like personal input or commentary to an answer as a contestant tries to pick the next category and ends up cutting them off
Daniel Walker
I fast forward.
DOES THE AUDIENCE NOT LOVE MY COMMENTARY AND FUNNY JOKES
ARE THEY NOT ENTERTAINED
Isaac Morgan
that guy isn't even 40 in the gif
he ended up losing and squandering all his winnings
Nathan Ross
what? he looks like he's 68 or something there
Elijah Robinson
this guy gets it

I love rooting against the non-white contestants. I know 30 Rock made that joke but I always do this.
Eli Sanchez
His end story is sad but he was alpha as fuck and owned the system, albeit for a short but glorious time.
Isaac Diaz
Saw one of the original Jeopardy boards in Don Pardo's basement New Jersey home. It had manual sliders like a Fenway Park scoreboard.
Easton Smith
Did he fuck the shit out of your asshole or what?
Owen Green
It's better if they plan it out ahead of time, trust me
