Times Alex Trebek Was Really Rude To Jeopardy Contestants

Jeopardy! is a pretty straightforward quiz show that doesn’t allow for a lot of time to joke around, but Alex Trebek was still known for his dry, sarcastic sense of humor. When you’re doing the same job day-in and day-out for more than 30 years, you’re going to make the occasional remark that doesn’t go over well. Thankfully, most of these contestants took the jokes in stride, even if the videos did go viral. From laughing at some very wrong answers (or questions, technically) to the time no one knew a thing about football, let’s take a look at some times Alex Trebek was rude to Jeopardy! contestants.

Really rude video title. Not fair to Alex, since he didn't make any rude remarks. All of it was obviously playful banter. People who only see the title and don't watch may assume things.

They were all in good taste, and while someone might feel hurt by that, it’s more about how you move on from that. Alex is trying to make the show more interesting, and I applaud him for that.
