Alex chats

With Game Changers debuting October 20 on Buzzr, Alex Trebek is making the media rounds to promote the game show documentary. He talked to the New York Post about the show and various other things.

He says that he doesn't mind the parodies of Jeopardy, especially the SNL variety. If they're parodying you, after all, it means you've arrived as a pop culture item. He also thought twelve-time winner Austin Rogers was good for Jeopardy. Some web pundits thought Alex disliked the oddball champ, but Trebek denies any hard feelings.

He observes that people don't quiz him any more to see if he's really a smarty-pants. That apparently happened a lot during the first few years of his time on Jeopardy. One other note: he doesn't answer interviewers in the form of a question.
