I'm watching Celebrity Jeopardy with Martin Short, Joely Fisher, and an annoying comedian named Mario (who I believe was on Sex and the City). I always thought the SnL skit about celebrity Jeopardy was a bit over the top, but I no longer think that. Here is an example from today's show:
The answer:
of the three branches of government, the one including the supreme court
NO ONE BUZZED IN!
The correct question is, of course:
What is the judicial branch?
I can't believe no one even buzzed in to guess! They should have known the answer, but even if they didn't they (should have) had a 1 in 3 chance of getting it right! Wow, I say. Wow.

I watched an episode with Bebe Neuwirth, Neil Patrick Harris, and some guy from Desperate Housewives. The question was a daily double so there was no buzzing in, but it was in the category "world capitals" and the answer was "The Sphinx is outside this capital city." Bebe Neuwirth almost had a coronary coming up with "What is Cairo?" And in the category "Neil! Patrick! Harris!" (where all of the correct answers had to have one of those three names), they just barely got in under the wire with Neil Armstrong as the first man to walk on the moon.
Because if there's anything you can ever do to make yourself feel smarter, it's watch celebrity Jeopardy.
and if there's anything you can ever do to make yourself feel dumber, it's watch [standard] Jeopardy.
