To Rob: Of course there's no explanation needed because all American TV game show hosts traditionally come out with mustaches on April 1, a very important holiday. Every fool knows that.
To KoopaKid17: Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't these open auditions, with anyone who qualifies making it onto the show?
It's beginning to irk me that for Teen and College Tournaments, the women outqualify the men. However, the men always semeingly outperform the women. If this is attempt at affirmative action, it definitely isn't working.
the show with the mustache in the beginning was April Fools Day. I don't think they needed to explain that, and didn't you notice one of the contestants trying not to laugh at it???
I hate it when he speaks French. And every stinkin' episode they have to have SOME French thrown in someplace. What's French for pretentious?
I've always enjoyed Jeopardy, even as a geeky kid, but they have dumbed the questions way down. The video questions also annoy me.
Anyone see the show last week wherein Alex had a mustache (that looked like a caterpillar exploded under his nose) before the first commercial, and was gone after that? No explanation from him, either. Strange.
I agree with previous posters that Jeopardy is the best game show on TV and that the others are unbearable and ridiculous.

Alex Trebek is scum.
Alex Trebek is scum.
Alex Trebek is scum.
I long for the day when one of the contestants goes beserk and smashs the shard end of a geologist's hammer into Trebek's forehead!

Say what you will about Trebek and the show but at its worst Jeopardy is still many times better than anything else being passed off as a game show today.
Are you smarter than a 5th grader? Have you sat through this wreck? 60 minutes (including commercials) to ask 10 questions is just abominable but at least they require some brainpower - albeit at a 5th grade level.
What about the others? Deal or No Deal? 1 hour of some mongoloid picking out briefcases while Howie Mandel flaunts his germophobia. Good grief, how is this a highly rated show?
Jeopardy is still the best bang for the buck show out there. In less than 30 minutes you're bombarded with questions in different categories - most of which are far beyond the 5th grade level and require more than just standing around pointing at hot babes and briefcases.

Yeah, Alex Trebec has turned into an obnoxious jerk. Would love to see him as a contestant.
The questions have definitely been dumbed down over the years and they are even more dumbed down when celebrities are involved.
I would love to see a celebrity week including Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton and Britney Spears when she gets well.
I realize all of these women have earned a lot of dough, but I would really like to see them on Jeopardy just to see if they are smarter than the way they are portrayed in the media/tabloids.

The basic premise of Jeopardy! is a good one and I like it, so I guess it hasn't completely JTS.
Nevertheless there are several things I don't like:
Alex Trebek - smug, smarmy and sexist. A totally repulsive jerk. Can't wait to read his obituary!
The Clue Crew - useless and annoying.
Video categories where some B-list "celebrity" sits there like a lump and reads the clue. Again, annoying and useless.
Special Week</b] - Kids, teens, college and especially "Celebrity" tournaments. A brain-damaged moron could answer the "celebrity" questions yet those doltish buffoons seldom get the answer!
One thing I really hate is in final Jeopardy when a contestant wagers enough to win by $1. Jeez, be a sport and let the others tie you so you can all win and come back!>

I absolutely love the Saturday Night Live (SNL) version of this show. It's just hilarious. The categories are "Months That Start With FEB", "Colors That Rhyme With 'URPLE'", and "How Many Fingers am I Holding Up?" Sean Connery teating into Alec Trebec! What a laugh riot!
