Twitter Is Up In Arms Over Video Of Alex Trebek Dragging A 'Jeopardy!' Contestant...From 4 Years Ago

Twitter Is Up In Arms Over Video Of Alex Trebek Dragging A 'Jeopardy!' Contestant...From 4 Years Ago
CBS Television Distribution

Alex Trebek, who has been called an "American Institution" after spending the last 36 years hosting Jeopardy!, is known for being pretty serious and dry on the show.

But every once in awhile, he comes out with a zinger—like that time in 2016 that fans just seem to be discovering now.


Susan Cole from Maryland didn't expect what was about to happen when Alex approached her for the "get to know the contestants" bit of the show.

"Her favorite type of music is something I've never heard of, but it doesn't sound like fun," he began, immediately savage.

Cole rolled with the punches:

"I think it's very fun. It's called nerd-core hip-hop....video games, science fiction, having a hard time meeting romantic partners."

And then Alex went right for the jugular:

"Losers, in other words."





Unfortunately, this comment didn't go over so well with several folks on the internet.

In fact, a lot of the Nerdcore scene started dissing Alex across the board.





But it turns out that Cole did okay, walking away with $20,600 in winnings from the episode, and went on to win $67,800 in a three-episode winning streak.





Alex Trebek is currently in the middle of a fight with pancreatic cancer in stage 4.

The final new episode of Jeopardy! to be taped before the country went on lockdown will air May 1st, followed by several compilations of Jeopardy!'s greatest moments.

Hopefully there will be a compilation of Alex being absolutely savage.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
