about Moroni & the (claimed) Golden Plates.


sheesh!

Question...

Of the total "religious" questions asked (ANY religion at all...from voodoo to anything else, including all permutations of Christianity), what percentage do you estimate are LDS-related???

Chauffeuring...back later.

I saw that too. WTF?? It is such fucking fiction!

I'm beginning to seriously wonder if there isn't someone on the relevant staff who is now, or once was, Mormon.

Unlikely to be anyone who actually writes the questions...

...probably someone higher, in the producer's line.

LDS clues on Jeopardy are Way Out Of Proportion to LDS population !

"I'll take Pedophile Prophets for $200, Alex."

SLLAABAMBAAA!

I wish I could remember the question, because I knew the answer was Joseph Smith Jr. but they had Brigham Young as the answer! Very strange. I wonder how they got it mixed up when writing the questions. Anyone else see that when it happened?

I didn't see it, so I don't know the question, but perhaps the official answer is BY, but the truthful answer is JS.

Later, I realized that could have been what happened! :-)
Besides, I don't know what they are using to verify their answers to their questions when it comes to the LDS Church...

Well Alex Trebek thinks Ken Jennings is the bee's knees, so maybe he's driving the inclusion. Trebek is a contributor as well as the emcee.

I know nothing specific about most any aspect of Jeopardy, most especially who owns the program...

...does anyone here know if Alex Trebek (either as himself, or---more likely---as a corporation or LLC, etc.) has an ownership interest in Jeopardy?

After all these years, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he owned (or partly owned, at least) the property....which would give him owner's rights in at least some measure.

EDITED TO ADD: After an Internet search...Sony appears to be the owner of Jeopardy (but this is never explicitly said, so there is a great deal of possible/probable wiggle room here). I think it is safe to assume that, after all of these years, Alex Trebek has at least some points, SOMEWHERE in the structure.
