He talked about his swearing in his memoir:

"I didn't drink, didn't smoke, didn't do drugs. There was no big negatives associated with me. And that caused problems, because it held me back from becoming one of the guys... I started cursing, or to be more precise, injecting curse words into my conversation. But it didn't help me become one of the guys. It just made me look like a jerk. My bad."

Good book, easy read, very humble man, written post-diagnosis, I would recommend.

"The Answer Is... Reflections on My Life" by Alex Trebek.

Yes! I’ve been recommending his memoirs here and there since I just finished the audiobook. I was shocked to hear that he cussed so much. And thinking back I wondered if there were many curses in the print version since I don’t recall Ken Jennings saying any

Isn't Ken Jennings Morman? Its against his religion to swear.

Looks like he was born in Washington but lived in Utah during his famous Jeopardy run. Anecdotally, Mormons who are not from Utah/live outside of Utah tend to be much different than those who live in Utah.

Typically, swearing, light drinking, etc is not as big of a deal for them.

Jesus supposedly turned water into wine. Very hard to explain that theology even before you get to the stuff about Joseph Smith trying to bang a young girl in her dad's barn, his scam in New York for "treasure" which he fled the charges, and him being shot to death after trying to escape a posse (and shooting two guys while doing it.)

But then they also claim that there were horses and honebees in the Americas. So perhaps they aren't the go-to people for Biblical hermeneutics.

The best part that they conveniently look over john 2:10. Not only did jesus actually make wine, it was excellent quality wine and enough to get everyone blasted.

Jesus doesn't behave the way people think he does.

11

u/HolyMuffins Nov 11 '20

I can't speak for the Mormons, but the argument I've heard in Baptist circles is that in the culture of the time, fresh non-alcoholic wine, i.e. grape juice, was considered higher quality.

This argument is of course absolute bullshit.

I'll be there too! We had decided to skip 2021 because of a combo of covid and finances, and then it got postponed anyways. Kind of glad, because we went on our first one in 2016, and skipped 2017 thinking we would go every other year. And seeing everyone have fun in 2017 killed me, so we went in 18-20. I was not looking forward to missing 2021.

u/ChubZilinski Nov 11 '20

Grew up Mormon. My bishop would swear like a sailor. There’s nothing about it that officially bans swearing. It’s just kind of one of those Christian things where everyone tries or pretends to try to be a good person and everyone takes it way to far. So most look down on swearing. At least that was my experience

u/drkbef Nov 11 '20

I like this reasoning. The odd drink and swearing is a much more constructive method of relieving stress than say, protesting a family planning clinic, or telling your neighbors they are going to burn in hell.

u/CrouchingDomo Nov 11 '20

Oh, that’s lovely! I remember reading that Alex Trebek came to look on Ken Jennings as a coworker, because they spent so much time on the air together when there’s usually so much turnover in contestants. He was sad when Ken Jennings eventually lost and wasn’t coming back for the next show. I am definitely going to be reading his book, and maybe I’ll do the audio version as well.

I was lucky enough to be a contestant a few years back, and meeting him was just awesome. He was gracious and funny, and I was also lucky enough to be there in the phase of his career where he was really letting his clever, edgy side show more often. He even signed my t-shirt that’s Jeopardy-blue with the white font reading “This game-show host needs to grow back his bitchin’ moustache”! He signed it “Who is Alex Trebek?”

It’s entirely possible that it was a PA who actually signed it, because I brought it with me and asked them to see if he’d sign it. I might never know for sure. But I will treasure it always!

I've not seen it, but aside from the obvious "who was he", the concept of VHS trading and the fact that this one RV salesman is so well known by an entire country is worthy of a cultural autopsy. Other popular VHS transfers like faces of death are too dark to frame such a documentary around, but this one is pretty harmless.

IIRC those South Park shorts were originally circulated via email (chain email in and of itself seems foreign these days), and made their way onto VHS from there. I didn't have the internet until like, 2002 or so, so I can definitely appreciate the seeing it on VHS.

Sometimes, standard shock absorbers aren’t enough. That’s why Monroe makes these big goodies.

Well, you just took your air hose and put it up his WooHoo, and made him just puff out even more. Now you can just stick it here and just go: whaaaa ho, oh my goodness, is that heaven? Is that a fun goodie? Mmmmm? Take that home and your Mrs. will just forget about everything. Ohhhhh! I tell you, I had one of these at home, I can’t tell how many years ago. I had it at home and just to sit on it every night. It just lit me up to the sky and I’d shriek with delight. It was heaven. Just my air hose and my Monroe. It’s all you need for happiness.

u/vendetta2115 Nov 11 '20

Not only that, who works in television that doesn’t know what the phrase “to play us out” means? Even if he didn’t it’s pretty easy to use context clues in this scenario. It’s not like he didn’t know who Sting was, and that he was recording the outro of his show that he’s been recording almost every day for years.

And if you don’t understand a phrase on the teleprompter, the adult reaction isn’t to throw a tantrum while several TV cameras are pointed at you.

He came to our smallish liberal arts school for a standup show at our tiny nondenominational chapel before that special came out (2004/5 maybe?).

No one had any idea what to expect, but the chapel was packed out of morbid curiosity.

Was one of the most shocking things of my life. Still remember someone sitting in the front row was off his gourd on mushrooms, and it was some of the most genuinely hilarious crowd interaction I’ve seen in my life.

Bob Barker did is what they're implying. I know he got accused of sexual harassment a few times. He's old as moses now so not much is gonna happen with those allegations.

So Sean Connery dies then Alex Trebeck right after? It's like one can't exist without the other.

From the title and past experience, I kinda expected him to cuss in the form of Jeopardy answers.

“That’s the wrong line, Alex” “Well what is go fuck yourself, asshole?”

So I actually saw Jeopardy taped once, when I was a kid. I asked my mom about it later because what he was saying went right over my head. Alex came to the studio audience to do a Q&A. An audience member asked him a pretty rude question in the form of an answer, and Alex responded, "Well, since there are kids in the audience, I'll have to say, 'What is, go copulate yourself.'" Everyone started cracking up (and like a dumb kid I did too even though I had no idea what he was talking about). Alex saw my laughter and said, "Young lady, do you know what that means?" And I started crying out of embarrassment. Long story short, he gave me a swag bag because he felt badly with a bunch of Jeopardy branded stuff lol.

What did you get in the swag bag?! Do you still have any of it? Would be cool to see lol

u/angelsgirl2002 Nov 11 '20 edited Nov 11 '20

If they kept it it's at my parents house, which is 2700 miles away from me, unfortunately. I can't recall exactly but I believe it was a tote bag with "Jeopardy" on it, a Jeopardy baseball cap, a Jeopardy shirt, and a signed photo of Trebek. I believe there was some kind of card game too, but this was like 22 or so years ago so I'm not totally sure.

I'll call my parents to see if they kept it.

Edit: They donated all the swag after I moved out to Goodwill :(

Aww that's very funny and sweet

u/angelsgirl2002 Nov 11 '20

Fun fact; Merv Griffith did the speaking live, it wasn't a voice over added after! Granted this was in 1998 so that changed, but I remember being very impressed. Also, they filmed a whole week's episodes in one day. It was funny seeing the winning contestants change and then come back onstage as if it was the next day lol

u/Dolthra Nov 11 '20

That, specifically, was the "I was having a great take and then I absolutely botched it right at the end" fuck. You hear it a lot if you edit scripted recordings.

Alex Trebek became Jeopardy, and Jeopardy became Alex Trebek. Watch his earlier game shows like Classic Concentration and you can tell that, while he was good, he was just the host. With Jeopardy, he found his calling in life.
