If you know who Wolf Blitzer is, and Andy Richter, you can see that a comedians' brain is far superior to a talking heads' brain.

      Yep. He would have stood a much better chance of winning against Lou Dobbs...

    I'm a huge fan of Jeopardy, and you're right, Bill, comedians tend to do fairly well in the celebrity tournaments. At least those comedians who take their appearance seriously.

    I remember Cheech Marin winning, and Michael McKean won the ongoing $1,000,000 tournament last season.

    I think a lot of this has to do with the way funny people look at things. Their approach means they have to have a fairly wide range of knowledge, and a way to access it quickly. On the other hand, maybe it's the other way around; they're not smart because they're comedians, but they are able to be comedians because they're smart.

    Either way, at the end of the round Andy was ahead of Wolf by $43,600.

    And that just makes me feel all warm inside, but I'm not sure why.



    All the best,
    Michael
