Watch Wolf Blitzer Be Stupid And Mean Last Night

by Jim Newell  

Oh man… Wolf Blitzer said that Jesus was born in Jerusalem during Celebrity Jeopardy last night. What a heathen! He ended Double Jeopardy with -$4,600, with super-easy questions too. And check out at how snooty he looks when Alex has to adjust his score for answering “Julia Childs,” earlier. Ha ha, Wolf Blitzer. Andy Richter seems so nice and smart. [Politico, Gawker (full episode)]

Celebrity Jeopardy is like kids’ T-ball. Everybody gets to run around the bases no matter how bad they suck.

Way Cool Larry September 18, 2009 at 12:02 pm

kind of felt sorry for poor Wolfie there

Come here a minute September 18, 2009 at 12:03 pm

Andy Richter controls the universe!

Mull_Man September 18, 2009 at 12:05 pm

domain: intelligence → comedians > “journalist”

Here’s the link to the pre-game rehearsal taping, from Conan:

http://www.tonightshowwithconanobrien.com/video/clips/andy-does-celebrity-jeopardy-091609/1158143/

Check out Wolf being all pissy and pretentious with Andy! Makes the real game all the more magical. But hey, it’s not all CNN-heads who are fucking awful at trivia game shows, Anderson Cooper cleaned up on the Jeopardy Power Players Edition a couple years back, it’s on the Youtubes

SayItWithWookies September 18, 2009 at 12:05 pm

That’s right Wolf — normal people would get humiliated at this point — but since you’re a celebrity, the Jeopardy gods see fit to wipe out your debt and give you an extra thousand bucks. You’re like the AIG of trite, flaccid news.

When will you Humans learn... September 18, 2009 at 12:06 pm

Teevee clown Andy Richter, a future correspondent?

Nah. Too smart.

Way Cool Larry September 18, 2009 at 12:07 pm

Wolf– a Jew born in Germany to Polish refugees 3 years after WWII?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_Blitzer

That’s really weird.

And his real name IS “Wolf”?

The Station Manager September 18, 2009 at 12:07 pm

Andy Richter destroyed Jeopardy last night. I typically don’t watch, but by a happy coincidence, I caught the last 10 minutes or so. Wolf “(really?!)” Blitzer looked like an absolute flaming bag of idiot, even moreso than usual.

freakishlystrong September 18, 2009 at 12:07 pm

Yeah, but who would win a staring contest?

magic titty September 18, 2009 at 12:09 pm

Jesus. Non-Celebrity Jeopardy isn’t even that difficult. Dingus.

They should put every basic-cable talking head on this fucking show, and see what happens. Who do we think wins?? Maher?? Shouting KO?? Steve Doocy??

Anyway, as Norm MacDonald/Burt Reynolds says, “Yeah uh, gimme apetit…”

ManchuCandidate September 18, 2009 at 12:09 pm

“received a B.A. degree in history from the University at Buffalo in 1970. While there, he was a brother of Alpha Epsilon Pi. In 1972, he received an M.A. degree in international relations from the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies.”

Hey Wolfie, U of B and John Hopkins called and they want their degrees back.

PlanetWingnuta September 18, 2009 at 12:10 pm

this just means its only a matter of time before wolf quits CNN and joins the teabaggers…cause his intelligence level is just as smart as theirs.

mattbolt September 18, 2009 at 12:11 pm

The Julia Childs thing isn’t even that bad – he also identified a bowl of tube-shaped Mostaccioli as Fettucine (has this man ever eaten pasta, or human food?), he answered “Crash” for a clue that had the word “crash” already in it, and he couldn’t identify Ebenezer fucking Scrooge as the time-travelling Christmas curmudgeon from the story that nearly every English-speaking human is familiar with, including small children, watching the Muppet version.

MGBYG September 18, 2009 at 12:11 pm

But can Wolf dance like the Hammer?

Crank Tango September 18, 2009 at 12:15 pm

[re=414124]ManchuCandidate[/re]: WOW. UB is supposed to be “better” than my alma mater of Buff State too. I must be real stupid.

[re=414120]Way Cool Larry[/re]: And you know who else was called “Wolf”? Hitler, that’s who.

This dude is just a dumb nazi reindeer, and yet everyone thinks he is the height of cable journalism because he got attacked by scuds or something. Then again, maybe he is…

MGBYG September 18, 2009 at 12:15 pm

And Andy went to the Year 3000, watched an old tape of the show and got all the answers beforehand…

Is it Friday, yet?

What magic mound of bad data will be dumped on the press this evening?

bitchincamaro September 18, 2009 at 12:15 pm

To be fair to Wolf, he played without his usual four producers, seven writers, two editors, directors, A/D’s, prop-masters, stylists, and most importantly: teleprompterz!

Better American Than You September 18, 2009 at 12:15 pm

Could you bring me a roll of toilet paper? I had some bad chili last night and had to spend all morning in the “situation room.”

Gorillionaire September 18, 2009 at 12:16 pm

No one has commented about how nice Dana Delaney’s hair looked. It was very nice.

Dave J. September 18, 2009 at 12:17 pm

Eh, Andy is smart, Wofl is stupid, but Dana Delany is a stone cold FOX. Holy hell.

mattbolt September 18, 2009 at 12:18 pm

[re=414123]magic titty[/re]: If I could pick a Pundit 3-way, in a non-sexual way, but to compete on Jeopardy for King Of Cable or whatever, I’d have Cooper from CNN, KO from MSNBC, and Glenn Beck from Fox. Coops would control world affairs and culture, Olbermann could handle any sports or history categories, and Beck would have an emotional breakdown halfway through Double Jeopardy.

Come here a minute September 18, 2009 at 12:18 pm

[re=414127]mattbolt[/re]: Also does not sneeze into his elbow.

Blue_in_VA September 18, 2009 at 12:19 pm

Take away the CNN producer shouting in his ear piece, and Wolf’s got nothin’.

mephistopheles jefferson September 18, 2009 at 12:20 pm

[re=414117]mattbolt[/re]: Boy, what an arrogant prick. And who the fuck wouldn’t know that ‘Ebenezer Scrooge’ would say “It’s Christmas Day! I haven’t missed it!” Wolf Blitzer, that’s who.

Pithaughn September 18, 2009 at 12:24 pm

[re=414120]Way Cool Larry[/re]: No, there is substantial documentation that his real name is Shark Divebomber. He felt that name was not exciting enough for a big shot foreign correspondent so he had Orly Tainted change it.

Doris Ziffel September 18, 2009 at 12:27 pm

Very messy!

ignatius_riley September 18, 2009 at 12:29 pm

Wolf Blitzer gives pens that say “Friend of Wolf Blitzer” to his friends/sycophants. This is a true rumor; I heard it from a friend who was a CNN correspondent back when the Iraq war was new and fresh.

Carrie_Okie September 18, 2009 at 12:30 pm

“Wolf” must be polish-german for “Putz.”

Count Spatula September 18, 2009 at 12:31 pm

What is the appeal of a video that consists of only the answers given a game show?

graceless September 18, 2009 at 12:33 pm

Is Andy related to Mike “I’m not gay” Piazza’s wife?

AbstinenceOnly Ed September 18, 2009 at 12:34 pm

On his wikipedia page, his bio reads like so: ‘Occupation “Journalist”‘.

LOL. Nobody change that, ever. I want those quotes on his tombstone, this former AIPAC stooge.

norbizness September 18, 2009 at 12:38 pm

This is the worst celebrity-game show matchup since Katie Couric tried winning America’s Got Talent with musical queefing.

PlanetWingnuta September 18, 2009 at 12:41 pm

i would like to put a birther, a deather and president obama on this show and see who would score higher…(and it would be just history and constitution questions…let’s open it up for rush, hannity and beck so all those guys against the prez…we all know who would win…but of course we know the teabaggers playing at home would be surprised.

magic titty September 18, 2009 at 12:47 pm

[re=414139]mattbolt[/re]: We should use Fox’s most intelligent pundit…which would…Christ…maybe be…Hume? Good god would we have to go Hume, for intellect?

“NO! FOR THE TWENTY-THIRD TIME, NO!”

bitchincamaro September 18, 2009 at 12:49 pm

[re=414156]graceless[/re]: Are you saying he’s married to Mike Richter, the former NY Ranger goalie? I’m having a very confused day.

Johnny Zhivago September 18, 2009 at 12:49 pm

Norbert September 18, 2009 at 12:57 pm

Wolf Blitzer for celebrity Jeopardy? Couldn’t they get Murrow?

p.s. I have always believed Dana Delaney to be extremely hot. That is all.

widget09 September 18, 2009 at 12:59 pm

You know when you answer questions with a question like answer, you’re in big trouble.

Example: Where was Jesus Born?

Answer: Jerusalem?????

Anderson Cooper has to be laughing his ass off!

AKAM80TheWolf September 18, 2009 at 1:11 pm

He was $4,600 in the hole and they GAVE him $1,000?? SOCIALISM!

norbizness September 18, 2009 at 1:19 pm

[re=414199]Norbert[/re]: On that p.s., you are completely correct, and with DVD/computer technology you can edit Rosie O’Donnell and Dan Ackroyd out of that bondage resort movie she was in.

denver_80203 September 18, 2009 at 1:50 pm

Wolf is a source of information, Andy a source of Comedy.

funny

Norbert September 18, 2009 at 1:50 pm

[re=414250]norbizness[/re]: Hmmmm, I’ve always found bondage about as arousing as, say, Dan Ackroyd, but for some DD, I could be GGG.

Anonymous Office Zombie September 18, 2009 at 1:57 pm

The battle of comedians vs. “journalists” stands thus:

Jon Stewart vs. Tucker Carlson (and the Crossfire gang) – winner Stewart
Stephen Colbert vs. Bill O’Reilly – winner Colbert
Andy Richter vs. Wolf Blitzer – winner Blitzer

Comedians:3
“Journalists”:0

Seanyboy September 18, 2009 at 2:04 pm

You can’t blame him, he apparently spent all his time studying Austin Powers quotes.

thefrontpage September 18, 2009 at 2:05 pm

But the real reason to watch this bizarro “celebrity” version of “Jeopardy” was to look at the still very hot and somewhat-milfy Dana Delany, who somehow managed to be hot wearing ridiculous glasses and answering weird questions/answers/whatever. Andy Richter, though, kicked ass throughout the game. His dad, a professor, should be proud.

thefrontpage September 18, 2009 at 2:10 pm

Next week on “Celebrity Jeopardy:”

Levi Johnston, Meghan McCain and Jenna Hager Bush.

Anonymous Office Zombie September 18, 2009 at 2:11 pm

[re=414309]Anonymous Office Zombie[/re]:
Make that “winner Richter”… obviously.

Every time I watch Blitzer in action, I mistake him for a corpse with a head packed full of sawdust. Seriously, why the hell is this guy the head anchor of a high-profile news station?

ManchuCandidate September 18, 2009 at 3:12 pm

Seems like Blizter should move to Oklahoma where he could be crowned king.

facehead September 18, 2009 at 3:35 pm
groove September 18, 2009 at 3:36 pm

Are you serious?!?

Andy Richter is a full $40k smarter than Wolf Blitzer. Damn, son.

Lionel Hutz Esq. September 18, 2009 at 3:46 pm

Maybe Wolf was overcome by Dana Delaney’s beauty. I know I would be reduced to barely understanable ape like grunts if I was next to her.

DP September 18, 2009 at 3:59 pm

[re=414128]MGBYG[/re]: Yes he can!!!

DP September 18, 2009 at 4:02 pm

[re=414133]MGBYG[/re]: Opps….sorry..

Yes he can!!!

JMP September 18, 2009 at 4:17 pm

[re=414496]groove[/re]: More; after Final Jeopardy it was $66K smarter. Would’ve been $72,600 if Wolf hadn’t been spotted the $1K before the end.

dhfsfc September 19, 2009 at 9:49 am

See the video MattBolt posted of the run-up to the real game.

See how Wolf sucks-up only to the “important” people, like Trebeck and the people with the cameras.

See how Wolf dismisses “unimportant” people like Andy.

Best of all, see how dumb Wolf is!
