Wolf Blitzer bombs big time on ‘Celebrity “Jeopardy’
No, it wasn’t a Saturday Night Live sketch.
CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer really did bomb Sean Connery-style on Celebrity “Jeopardy” Thursday, Sept. 17.
Blitzer, who has appear on Jeopardy in the past, got several questions right, but would have ended the game with negative $4,600 if host Alex Trebek hadn’t tossed him a $1000 bone.
The veteran newsman was stomped by actress Dana Delany and the Tonight Show’s Andy Richter.
Richter won $68,000 for St. Jude Children’s Hospital on the “Million Celebrity Invitational” tournament episode.
See, having glasses and interviewing world leaders doesn’t make you super smart.
But to be fair, Blitzer didn’t duplicate fake Sean Connery’s record low in the SNL ‘Celebrity Jeopardy’ sketch below.

Basic math skills must not be a job requirement for DDN journalists. Wolf’s “bone” was actually $5600. A $1000 bone would’ve only given him -$3600.By Ben franklin

Yeah, it is isn’t?? Especially when aforementioned nerds are commenting on a show they OBVIOUSLY did not watch. As a true nerd, I watched as at the end of Double Jeopardy, Wolf had -$4600. Alex Trebek, in a time honored move for celebrities, wiped out the negative score and replaced it with a $1000 ‘bone’. It had nothing to do with math and everything to do with the shows rules. Hmmm…maybe the nerds need to go and find a computer program to help them find a life.
