There is some talk about the performance of Sec. Ed. Margaret Spellings on Celebrity Jeopardy:
What’s more embarrassing than being Secretary of Education and having your ass handed to you on Celebrity Jeopardy? Being Secretary of Education and having your ass handed to you on Celebrity Jeopardy by Lenny from “Laverne & Shirley.”
Not to sound like an elitist prig, but anyone who’s followed the celebrity quiz show circuit would know that Michael McKean is damn near a genius. He’s got an amazing mind for trivia and is awfully smart to boot. I wouldn’t bet against him on the normal version of Jeopardy.
So here’s the thing: I suspect some clever producer actually sand-bagged Spellings by putting her on the same show as McKean knowing that he would have her for lunch.
Kind of awesome.
