Peter Rubin: A Jeopardy Legend, Brought Low By Showtunes
I just stood there, blinking. My mouth was probably a little bit open too, but mostly the blinking. Where's my "Dancehall Reggae" category? My "Mid-90s Hip-Hop" category? Nowhere, I tells ya. It's all New Testament and show tunes. I made up for it in "Word Lore" and "The Winter Garden" though. Suckas.Well, suckas except for the whole not-losing thing. Still, he got to go home with a fistful o' dollars and his pride mostly intact, except for some trash-talking from Trebek: The first night I was on I picked up 21,000+...had a rhythm going withWell, Peter, all's well that end's well, except for the whole showtunes thing. The New York Post picked up the story (we're going to brazenly take credit), but THEY didn't get to rub Peter's bald head. I'm just sayin'. Congratulations on your win, Peter, and don't worry about the whole not-knowing-who-Abel-was thing, in a week all that will be soooo 2005, except for when I repeatedly reference it on Fishbowl. Thanks for playing! p.s. Number of emails from young ladies who also wante to rub Peter's shiny bald head: 1. GQ 'Pardy Pooper [NYP] *It's "Sweet Charity." Email This Post |
