I Lost On Jeopardy

Yep, the almost unsinkable Ken Jennings can finally crank up his stereo and bombard his neighbors with 24 hours of Al’s “I Lost On Jeopardy“. And now for one of my favorite quotes:

(Don Pardo’s voice)
That’s right Al–you lost! And let me tell what you didn’t win:
a twenty-volume set of the Encyclopedia International, a case of Turtle Wax,
and a year’s supply of Rice-a-Roni, the San Francisco treat. But that’s not all!
You also made yourself look like a jerk in front of millions of people! And you
brought shame and disgrace on your family name for generations to come!
You don’t get to come back tomorrow! You don’t even get a lousy copy of our
home game! You’re a complete loser!!

    More like:

    Well I knew I was in trouble now
    My hope of winning sank
    ‘Cause I got the Daily Double now
    And then my mind went blank

  2. Stephen Staver Says:

    Channel 8 was playing the “I Lost on Jeopardy” song during an article on Ken’s loss. That was cool.

    They’ve played that song on alot of radio stations here were I live(Brantford, Ontario, Canada, Yes, Hometown of Wayne Gretzky, but we’re talking about Al). It’s not my ‘favourite’ song, but it’s funny.
