Fans of Jeopardy in Evansville may notice a familiar face on the Wednesday, July 6th episode (other than Alex Trebek) when local resident, Emily Hillard puts her knowledge to the test for the chance to win big money.
Contestants on game shows are usually known for one of two things: being really good at the game or being terrible at it. This woman, though, falls into neither category.
Alex Trebek is a cultural institution, a beacon of knowledge and grace under pressure. Everyone loves him. Which is why it’s always amusing to watch the unflappable host of Jeopardy say silly words and phrases in that reliable deadpan of his. A recent episode of the immortal game show saw him forced to say the name “Turd Ferguson,” which should amuse anyone with a passing knowledge of modern comedy.
