Commentary: 'Jeopardy! Greatest of All Time' shines the spotlight on a TV institution: Alex Trebek
The game’s biggest winners compete in a rare prime-time “multiple consecutive night event” when ABC mounts “Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time.”
This demeanor extends to the players, who dress the way people used to dress when traveling by air. They do not panic. They do not exult in winning, nor do they pout in losing. Whether this behavior is encouraged, or a natural outgrowth of the game itself and the sort of people it attracts to play it, is all the same. “Jeopardy!” contestants have the quality of being at once everyday people and a little out of the ordinary — our neighbors, our nerds.
