You know it's a funny thing. You spend years hosting a show and you get into the habit of thinking there's just one correct question for every answer. But life doesn't always work out that way. The world is much more complex and you discover many different ways of looking at the universe.
Yeah, so what are you going to do?
I think I'm going to quit my job as host of "Jeopardy!" Maybe spend a little time in Tibet.
Oh no Alex, just sit down here. I mean you don't know what you're saying.
Wait a minute, how can I go on hosting the program if I'm filled with all these doubts?
Alright Alex, think about what "Jeopardy!" means to America. It's more than just a game show. I mean, it's as much of the part of national fabric as the postal uniform I wear with pride every single day.
So you think I should stay as host of "Jeopardy!"?
Absolutely.
And you won't bear me any ill will if I do?
Oh, bite your tongue!
All right, it's settled. I'm going to stay as the host of "Jeopardy!"
Oh thank goodness Alex! Hey, hey, you hear that everybody? I saved "Jeopardy!" I'm going to go call Ma, she'll get a big kick out of this!
Hey Alex, that's alright, you're a regular guy. Coming in here to make Cliff feel better. That's great.
I just came in here for a beer but I saw Cliff and I figured I better say something so I made up that story about quitting. He scares me.
You too, huh?
