    The SNL skits with Sean Connery as a contestant are some of my favorites!

    What is “How long before my wife kicks me in the pants to do something”?

    For some odd reason I find Trebek to be obnoxious.

    But on Jeopardy, the answers are supposed to be in the form of a question. So the son and the wife are phrasing their requests correctly, and he should be responding “What is ‘no’?” (with the question mark!) to both of them. The daughter shouldn’t be asking him a question unless he spoke to her first.

    Yeah, yeah, shouldn’t pick at the cartoon logic or it all falls apart.

    And, honestly, these would be his grandkids or great-grandkids, not his children (since he’s about as old as King Tutankhamun!)

    The original premise of Jeopardy (utterly lost in the “What is X?” that’s now the formulaic standard for the TV show) was that someone is walking thru a cocktail party and arrives at a cluster of folks just in time to hear the answer to an earlier question and is so extremely well informed that he or she can immediately figure out what the question must’ve been. Examples:

    A: 1362 and 1368 without the antenna. Q: How tall were the Twin Towers?

    A: 2017, 25 points down. Q: What was the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history?

    A: Rosalind Franklin. Q: Who was the X-ray crystallographer who deserved ⅓ of the DNA Nobel Prize?

    It would be fun if the TV show really did it this way. (I’ll bet that Ken Jennings would still be the world champ, tho.)

    I think his kids’ happiness could be in Jeopardy.

    He’s the same age as Nancy Pelosi, those must be grand kids.
