It's True: Alex Trebek is Fallible

Alex Trebek, known in some corners of the Internet as television’s smuggest bastard, sure puts on an air of omniscience when he hosts Jeopardy–like he somehow doesn’t need cue cards to know the answer to every trivia question ever devised. But Eddie Scarry over at our sister site FishbowlDC says things are a little different when you go to a Jeopardy taping in person. Scarry sat in the audience for the show’s “Teen Tournament” today and saw Trebek screw up badly–giving away the answer before any of the contestants had the chance to answer.
