Special Episode with Jean Trebek I'm thrilled to present this special episode featuring an exclusive interview with Jean Trebek, offering a deep dive into her experiences and perspectives on prayer and spirituality. About Jean Trebek Jean Trebek is the CEO of Insidewink.com, a lifestyle website dedicated to "sharing the good" and inspiring recognition of life's inherent goodness. Beyond her role at Insidewink, she serves on the Board of Helen Keller International, the advisory council of the Learning Rights Law Center, and the Hubbard Council at the National Geographic Society. Jean Trebek has also been President of the North Hollywood Church of Religious Science, where she became a licensed Professional Spiritual Practitioner. For over 15 years, Jean Trebek has taught the principles of Religious Science (Science of Mind) and A Course in Miracles. Jean Trebek's life experiences shape her unique spiritual approach. She attended Pepperdine University and California State University, Northridge, co-owned a flower shop in Los Angeles for 17 years, worked as a real estate property manager, and raised her children, Matthew and Emily, with her late husband, Alex Trebek. These varied experiences have greatly influenced Jean Trebek's spirituality. A Journey Through Prayer and Spirituality In this insightful interview, Jean Trebek reflects on her evolving relationship with prayer. Her spiritual journey began with a Catholic upbringing, where traditional prayers like the Hail Mary and Our Father initially shaped her view of God. During college, Jean Trebek explored various spiritual paths and found a deep connection at the Self-Realization Fellowship Temple in Pacific Palisades, which profoundly deepened her understanding of prayer. Jean Trebek's exploration continued with the teachings of Religious Science and the Science of Mind, including the 5-step affirmative prayer method. This method involves recognizing God's presence, uniting with it, focusing on the truth, expressing gratitude, and surrendering the outcome. Jean Trebek describes this process as "putting it on the altar to God for God to alter it," highlighting the importance of surrender and trust. Navigating Life's Challenges Through Prayer Jean Trebek shares how prayer has been crucial in navigating life's challenges, particularly during her late husband's battle with cancer. She discusses how prayer served as a vital anchor, offering support, love, and peace during tough times. Jean Trebek reflects on the transformative power of prayer, which not only helps with challenges but also recharges her spiritual energy. She notes that neglecting prayer affects her well-being. Prayer as a Tool for Transformation The conversation explores how prayer intersects with other spiritual practices, such as A Course in Miracles. Jean Trebek views prayer as an affirmation of truth and a surrender to divine will. The interview highlights prayer's broader impact, including its role in medicine and its potential to unify people in a divided world. Jean Trebek and the interviewer discuss how prayer can shift realities, create new possibilities, and help people remember their spiritual essence beyond the physical body. Practical Guidance on Prayer Jean Trebek emphasizes that there is no wrong way to pray. Whether starting with a simple intention or using structured practices like the 5-Step Method, the key is to begin. She suggests that gratitude is a powerful form of prayer and reflects on how daily practices can shift perceptions from fear to love. Prayer in a Broader Context The interview concludes with reflections on praying for global issues, including political conflicts in places like Ukraine and Palestine. Jean Trebek hopes that prayer will bring the right leaders to elevate humanity and believes that prayer can unify and heal a divided world. The discussion underscores the importance of inner peace, as individuals who achieve personal harmony contribute to a more peaceful world.

The Orphan Black franchise returns to TV with Orphan Black: Echoes, and our own Joe Reid returns to talk about the sequel starring Krysten Ritter, Reed Diamond, and a whole assload of strawberry Jell-O. Is the new iteration a pale (pink) imitation of the original? Might it benefit from streaming the whole thing at once? And do its connections to the parent show only point up its weaknesses? Later, we went Around The Dial with (often justly) forgotten sitcoms of the '90s plus The Morning Show and a minor-league 30 For 30, before Hannah schemed to win the lion's share of a place in the Canon for a first-season The Traitors (US). Trebek won, arranged marriage lost, and we pulled some strings to play a nepo-forward Game Time. Get comfy on a living-room soundstage and listen! GUESTS

3:[3:27] Hey Jamie. What's up?Track 2:[3:28] Not much. How are you doing? My friend?Track 3:[3:30] I'm great. I am looking forward to dig Darryl Hammond, a terrific artist, terrific impressionist.One of my favorite cast members. Yeah. Five foot seven born October 8th, 1955. He was born in Melbourne, Florida, just outside of Orlando.He had a very troubled childhood, growing up in a family plagued by abuse and mental health issues.This has led to an outspoken advocacy around his own diagnosis with bipolar disease and schizophrenia.He wears black when not performing in memory of a friend who committed suicide in 1992.He studied baseball at Brevard Community College and was a teammate of future Padres and Giants manager, Bruce Bocci.You're gonna have to trust me, I don't know if that's the right way to say his last name.Not a sports fan. Hopefully I got that right.Was actually inspired to take this to the stage by Truman Capote, who spoke at his school.Seeing Truman get laughs, Darryl said, whatever this is, I want it.After getting a degree in advertising from the University of Florida, he moved to New York to pursue performance after the encouragement of his university theater professor.[4:49] Early days had him working as a waiter performing theater roles and doing stand-up before returning to Florida to work as a radio DJ.He himself is a regular of the Howard Stern show to this day.He holds 45 acting credits and four writer credits, having appeared on shows including Criminal Minds, The Kicker, and I can't recommend this show highly enough.It is one of the funniest things on television, At Home with Amy Sedaris.Trust me, watch it. He is great in it, but the show as a whole is stellar.A late starter, he began performing stand-up at 26 and didn't move to New York permanently until 32.[5:36] While working as a cruise comedian, he was cornered in the bathroom by a man who forced him to take a dollar bill.The bill had trace amounts of cocaine and he was arrested as part of an entrapment scenario popular with grifting tourists.So that just reminds you, always be careful and never take a dollar from a stranger.Consummate Impressionists having impersonated over 107 different celebrities, and honestly the best Bill Clinton there ever darn was, he gained fame actually for his Elmer Fudd andLooney Tunes impersonations, releasing a comedy single called Rappin', which was was regularly played by one of my heroes, Dr.Demento! It was so popular, it was included on the show's 20th anniversary compilation.Okay, little aside here, I actually used to listen to the Dr.Demento show back when it was on Chum FM, in the middle of the nights on Sundays.I remember listening to this.I loved it, and I did not know it was him until today. This is awesome.Track 2:[6:40] Awesome indeed. Let's take it downstairs to our friend Thomas Senna with Will Norman to discuss Daryl Hammond a little more. Take it away, Thomas.Track 4:[7:23] Matthew, JD, thank you so much for educating us as always.You guys do such a great job there with the Minutia Minute.And this is a really, really interesting one, an interesting topic today.I think of a cast member who I've always been fascinated by, definitely.And it was the longest tenured cast member before Kenan Thompson eventually broke his record.But I've just always been fascinated by this guy. It's Daryl Hammond is our topic today on the SNL Hall of Fame.And joining me to discuss Daryl Hammond's SNL journey is a wonderful guest, someone who I've been on the Saturday Night Network with. And he was on Beyonce.He broke down Alec Baldwin with me. So I wanna welcome Mr.Will Norman. Will, how you doing? Doing great, Thomas. It's great to be back with you again.Talking some more SNL. I think we have a very fascinating cast member to talk about today.So I'm excited to dive in and talk about all of Daryl's contributions to the show and see if we can make a good case for him to get into the hall.Yeah, yeah. And you've been on here to talk about, as I said, a host in Alec Baldwin, musical guest in Beyonce.[8:38] Now we get your perspective on a cast member.So I'm curious, Will, like I don't think I've asked you this before, like when you're your big SNL fan, SNL historian, you've been watching the show for a while, like what do you look for?And just kind of what are facets of a cast member that sticks out to you?[8:57] Yes, like, I'm looking to cast members. Number one, I mean, you want someone who's going to bring something that is, they have their peaks of what they do well are stand out, theyjump off the screen, I might have mentioned to before, but when it comes to these cast new cast members, I'm very, I always pay attention to their first obviously on screen appearances.But if they do weekend update appearances, I'm always very in tune to like, how do they come on the scene? Do they come on hot? Do they jump off the screen in terms of their energy,the way that they present themselves?Are they really great characters? Do they do great impressions?[9:33] Do they have, do they work in our good, you can tell they do good writing in the background to be able to present those things on screen.Like those are some of the things like, what do you bring to the show?What's your skillset? I'm looking at those kinds of things. And then I think also just how well do they play with other cast members? Who is it that they're interacting with? Are they ableto blend?I'm a big fan of the cast members who are very versatile, the ones that are able to carry a sketch, but can also have those funny one-liners in the background of the sketch and not need tobe necessarily centered. Are they someone who's gonna, like you said, bring those characters, or someone who's gonna do weekend update features?And then also, are they someone that is timeless? We're talking about the Hall of Fame today.There's a lot of times with either hosts, sometimes definitely can be of their time.[10:18] Musical guests, same thing, they could be someone that's just of their time, and they kind of struck where the iron was hot and got an SNL.With cast members, I'm looking for someone who I could see them popping up on the show now.I can see them popping up in the 70s, the 90s, and they have something that they can bring to the cast that is timeless, that they can fit in seamlessly.And I think it goes to, you know, we talk about SNL a lot as being like a team, right?And we talk about kind of in the sports lens sometimes, but someone's a good teammate, you know, kind of goes back to how are they able to integrate and how are they able to make theirimpact without needing the show to necessarily be about them while still being a star.Those are things I look into for a cast member. Yeah, I think those are all great.If we were to design a cast member from scratch, like weird science style or whatever, those would be definitely big facets. Today we're talking about a very well-known impressionistfrom his time at SNL.[11:12] Arguably, and we can maybe discussed this I don't know but one of the arguably the best impressionist in SNL history a lot of people would say so I'm curious to just specifically asfar as impressions what do you look for in a great impression and impressionist I would say for one I definitely agree with you you're looking at Darryl Hammond I was gonna positionthis question to you I want to stay focused on Darryl obviously but I would say that he is definitely I think for most fans would have to be on the SNL Mount Rushmore for impressionists,right?Like, whatever your four are, like, if he's not on there, you know, what are we watching? You know, what are we doing here?But in terms of impressions and impressionists, I think, once again, it goes to those few qualities.One, with the impressions, is the impression really accurate?I mean, I do think that there is something to be said about people who can do those very accurate impressions of whoever it is, from pop culture, politician, actor, actress, whatever it is.But then also, do they bring a unique take to that impression?It's always fun when you can hear someone do an impression and the crowd, the first time they do it, the crowd's kind of gasping, like, wow, that sounds just like such and such, right? Butthen also, what kinds of slant do they bring to that impression?[12:29] And what kind of take do they bring to the person? Are they focusing on why the person is famous?Are they focusing on their, the way that they speak, the way they act.And I think the other part of it is when I'm looking at impressions is like, what is it that they, how are they able to utilize that on the show?Is it like I said, so we can update feature, are they centering this person in real life events in sketches? How are they able to deploy that and be able to have that person interact with otherpeople around them?Those are kinds of things I'm looking for with Impressionists and then you know I think.[13:01] Whether they have like a Daryl, who has, I think, almost 100 impressions to do on the show, or they might have five, you know, what's the peak of that?Like, are you do you start to be I think, are really important and what I look for from an impact on the show.I think Daryl definitely hit all those heights in different ways with his different characters or different impressions I should say as well.I agree with you and you hit on something that I've heard a lot from SNL fans and I've always believed this myself is you have to have a point of view with your impression I think. Youhave to have an angle.It can be exciting initially if somebody really sounds like the person who they're doing the impression of but then what? But like, you know, where do you go from there?And I'll pick on somebody who who's never been on SNL. So we're going to go outside of the SNL sphere because I love all my SNL cast members.So I don't want to single anybody out.But somebody outside of SNL is somebody like Frank Caliendo who does really accurate impressions.I've always struggled in a lot of cases to find his point of view with his impressions.[14:22] If he's on, as John Gruden on one of the NFL kickoff shows or something like that, he sounds remarkably like them and can do their mannerisms, but I never really, they've alwaysleft me cold because I've never really found an angle that Frank Caliendo has taken with a lot of his impressions.Does that make sense? No, that makes total sense because I think a lot of times, too, and maybe it's the format that, let's say for Frank Caliendo, where it is kind of a jukebox.Can you put this in and give me a minute of you just being that person and just kind of making fun of them, but it's just kind of a rapid fire impressions and phrases and things at you.Whereas I think a lot of times with in the SNL sphere, even if someone is doing that, they are in service of, they're bouncing off of a weekend update anchor.They are in a real life situation. They are doing, I should say, a sketch obviously, but they are interacting with people as that person, which brings more of a chance to have an angle versusjust kind of give me an accurate jukebox version of this person for a minute, which I think is great.It's an awesome skill and an awesome talent. But like you said, the angle can sometimes be gone because you're just mimicking that person without bringing anything else to it.Man, maybe if Frank Allendo was on SNL, he probably could show more of his comedic chops. So that's always possible, but as it stands, a lot of times when he does an impression, I'mleft a little bit cold for that reason.[15:49] And it's only exciting for so long.[15:53] Like, being totally, totally accurate.Well, it's nice. It's only exciting For a few minutes and then like you got to give me more So yeah, so so we could get into his Daryl Hammond I should say we can get into DarylHammond's main impressions now and one of the big ones to me that really likes ticks all those boxes and all the criteria that you laid out as far as what you look for an impressionist isHis Bill Clinton good evening America I'd like to speak to you tonight because this week the Bill Clinton presidency suffered a crisis in leadership.[16:30] It's been a bad week. First this Cheshna thing is getting me down.People keep asking me questions like what am I gonna do?I don't know. I mean I don't have a position.And then I looked everywhere for that new Abercrombie and Fitch catalog you know the one with the naked ladies.[17:14] What stands out to you about Daryl Hammond's Bill Clinton? Once again, I think it was an accurate impression, but it was also a fun impression.He did hit a lot of the same beats, but he really made the impression of his own.And one of the things that sticks out to me, you go back to, I'm sure we'll touch on this with other impressions, in the legacy of SNL, you never really own an impression. You're kind ofrenting it while you're on the cast, and it might be passed on to the next person.Phil Hartman was doing Bill Clinton before Daryl came on the scene.Daryl was still able to take it and make it his own and give his own spin, while also dealing with a lot of the things that were in the news about Bill Clinton that became a part of the entirecomedy universe and his presidency.But he was able to really make it his own and you see the transition of being a smooth-talking Southern president and then being this laze and being this like, quote unquote, torturedhusband, right?[18:15] And all these different slants that he brought to it based on what was going on in the news, while still being able to go to those beats, the thumb, the wink, the just the innuendo, andkind of winking at his own troubles and kind of being able to brush it off and kind of being that the coolest person in the room and not faced by certain things.So bringing all those things that were going on in real life to the impression while keeping it fun and having fun with the fact that he was going to those same beats, I thought was a reallycool way for him to do it.And there's obviously a lot of sketches where you see those sides come through.But I think him being able to make that his own and having even Bill Clinton like the impression and being invited to speak and do Bill Clinton in front of Bill Clinton the same way thatyou saw Dana Carvey do Bush in front of Bush.When you have the person, especially someone like the president who kind of gives the nod is like, I like your impression of me. I think when you look at SNL in general, to have basedon how much we go, the show goes to the political sphere.[19:19] Having a political impression that the person who's doing it and says the president say I like that one I think it's probably one of the highest honors you can get as a cast membersince it's a well They have to go to regardless of how well someone can do the impression So those are my general thoughts on on Darryl's bill, but I'd love to hear yours too Thomas Likewhat comes to mind for you when you're thinking about his Bill Clinton and what he brought to the table?Yeah It's just so fully formed his Bill Clinton and I think it's because Darryl has said that he he studied hours upon hours of tape on Clinton.This is the one that he really just like worked on like crazy to get.First of all we talked about like it's great to sound and have the mannerisms like the person you hit on it like he definitely did he had the the thumb thing he had the vocal fry down to thesouthern draw and it's kind of cool he said that Clinton reminded him of John F Kennedy in a way Like he said Clinton was maybe trying to be like John F. Kennedy. He took inspiration.So what Darryl Hammond did And what made the impression click for Darryl?Was it Darryl did Kennedy's inaugural address from the early 60s in a southern accent like not on the show But he just when he was just trying kind of trying to form this impression So hesaid that's what clicked so it's really neat to see an impressionist like find that angle and that was Darryl's way in to Bill Clinton, Will.[20:44] Yeah, yeah, that's awesome. I didn't even know that, which is really cool.And I think it goes to something that can be taken for granted, but just Daryl's commitment to getting the impression right.Because it's not a character where you're just saying, this reminds me of my third grade teacher.I'm gonna impress my third grade teacher and no one knows who it is.I'll turn that person into a character or Target lady, There's church lady.There's so many different characters have been on the show that you can't say well that doesn't sound like a person I'm talking to whatever Jay Fair is doing simple Yes It's like when youhave that like his dedication to getting it right and finding that angle I think is what made him so great and like stories like that just really drive home how seriously he took it and how heWorked to get these impressions, right?Yeah, are there any Bill Clinton moments that stand out to you with Daryl?[21:40] Man, there are quite a few. I mean, I think the ones, I'll give a couple that kind of stood out to me.There's the cold open where he's reading the Paula Jones deposition.He's reading it aloud to the nation. And then the president escorted me down a narrow hallway from the Oval Office to a dining room and back.I was thirsty and he offered me a drink.Before we reached the dining room, president reached out and tried to kiss me, he lifted his hand and put it on my breast and then my hand to his penis.That is hot! Jackie Collins my ass.[22:24] He's talking through obviously the salacious details of what's going on with, you know, this month, the Monica Lewinsky scandal, but he's enjoying it and reading it like it's It's likea romance novel and he's kind of getting a kick out of it in a way that you would never expect someone to be approaching their own controversies and kind of hocking it and holding upthe book with the fake art cover of him dressed up like he's Fabio, as he says in the sketch.So it's like you have him doing that whole sketch and then you have Will Ferrell coming in at the end as Kenneth Starr, kind of like as the way out to kind of subpoena him as DarylHammond to get him out, for everyone that's even impersonating the president because it's obviously a big issue and there's obviously opinions with the trial.[23:08] But it's like him being able to, like you said, bring a very, obviously serious thing that's going on that everyone is talking about and bringing that angle to it of pride, excited aboutit.That's just not an angle you would expect anyone that's listening to take and for him to be able to do it and give, you know, deliver it with this like, the Southern charm and smiling anddoing the thumb and the bite, the lip bite and all these things.And it's just kind of a, you said in a serious situation, the very funny way to wink and be like, I'm, you know, Bill Clinton and that doesn't bother me.So that's one that stood out to me for sure.Yeah, that one actually really stood out to me too. I took note of that when I was rewatching.It was funny to see Daryl out of character too. We didn't always see him out of character as himself on SNL, so that was pretty cool.There was also a sketch where he was on, as Bill Clinton was on a three-way phone call.Saddam Hussein, who was played by Will Ferrell and Monica Lewinsky played by Molly Shannon.And they were on this three way phone call like they were just all three of them knew each other really well. Saddam apparently knew Monica Lewinsky in the sketch, not in real life inthe sketch.Saddam and Monica Lewinsky obviously knew each other. So they just had this three way phone call that was just hilarious.I think this gets played on like best ofs and retrospectives for good reason because I rewatched it. I'm like, Oh my God. Wait, are you watching Dawson's Creek right now?[24:38] No, I am typing it.[24:45] And do not tell me what happens to Paisley.All right, um, hey, let me say hi to Saddam. OK, hold on a second.Saddam, are you still there? Who is that, one of your Jewish friends? No. Well, yes, so. Hey, Saddam. Monica, you never call me anymore.[25:12] Daryl Hammond's just, he does subtle things with his reactions to what other people are saying and his mannerisms and his smirk.And this is one where I think it's great to wink at the audience.A lot of times, I like when performers don't wink at the audience when they make a joke.But in something like this, that's part of the game.That's part of the persona of this character is to he's really enjoying being president.He's really enjoying all of this, even though he's, he's getting run through the mud in a very public way. He's enjoying it too. And Daryl's playing this perfectly. I agree.And it's, and I think that you said the nature of the character, what there's so many opportunities for him to do the camera facing addresses as in cold opens and kind of talking directly toAmerica.Even more permissible as president to always kind of be smiling and just enjoying the spotlight, right?And you talk about him having these, you know, kind of being dragged through the mud, you know, based on what he was, you know, he's doing like, very publicly.One that stood out to me as well was there's a weekend update feature where it's Bill Clinton and he is reviewing the movie Independence Day.Well, getting back to the film, Mr. President, was there anything that you didn't like? Well, I felt the character of Will Smith's girlfriend, the beautiful stripper, could have been developedmore.[26:37] We never learned much about her. For example.Does she have friends? Are they also strippers?[26:49] Obviously, if it was not for the movie, you know, it's about aliens attacking and they come back and you know, we're having to fight these aliens.And that's his action movie. And he comes out and he's talking to Norman, his whole focus, and why he loves this movie is that in the movie, spoiler alert, sorry, that the president's wifedies at some point in the helicopter crash.And so the whole time, he's just like, I just love this movie.And he's really harping on how great it would be and how he's wondering about this situation, how he's so happy for the president with his wife dying.It's a very morbid take, but given what's going on in the news, the way he's still smiling and gaffawing and having a good time with it, you're kind of like, okay, that's just Bill being Billkind of thing.And then he's talking about, I think at one point in time, Vivica A.Fox, who plays a stripper in the movie, he's asking, I wanted to learn more about her.And he kind of dives into some of those not flattering aspects of Bill Clinton's persona.But to your point earlier, he's able to do these things and still kind of be smiling and being very, trying to be very charming throughout these things, in that way, these things are rolling offmy back.And obviously, there's been a lot of litigation looking back at how, as a country, everyone handled those things and looked at those things, the seriousness of it.But even looking back at it, you can still see him making fun of how lightly.[28:19] He was taking it, you know what I mean? And still being able to bring that lightheartedness to something that was very serious.But you realize as a viewer, oh, this is a serious situation, but he's just cool and not phased by these things.So I thought that was another one, another example of him being able to, whether it was the deposition, the three-way call, Independence Day, him bringing different angles to this fullyformed character in different ways that I think were really fun, because you would never see the president doing these things.But it's just fun to be able to him to be accurate and be able to get to those places, which is cool.[28:52] Yeah, I think he took an element of the real Bill Clinton too.Everything that I've heard about Bill Clinton is he's like the most charming person in the room.He makes everybody feel like they're the most important person in the world when he's talking to them, for better or for worse, quite honestly, because he could use that charm for not sogreat things as we saw here.And by the way, I think it's kind of neat to see over the years that Monica Lewinsky's has a more positive public image nowadays compared to what people are kind of retroactivelyapologizing to Monica Lewinsky for how they treated her back then.But that was kind of the Bill Clinton charm playing out and it was a real thing and I think Daryl tapped it into it well and I loved when he appeared on Weekend Update.I'm glad that you brought up one of his Weekend Update bits because I love that he took this Bill Clinton character and put him on the update desk because it's just such a such a great fit.one where he critiqued the presidential candidates.[29:47] That was that that one cracked me up. But it was just really neat.It's like a versatile character for him to be able to go sketches, update cold open.He really should be proud. And I know Darryl from reading his, his book.He's definitely really proud of this Bill Clinton. Yeah, he did a really good job. And it's interesting to like, I think we sometimes, I don't want to say it next, I'm missing it for myself, butsometimes you take for granted, the show gets a lot of grief because when they have to talk about politics and you have the president who, given what's going on during the presidency, isgoing to be the number one thing that people are talking about.You're thinking about the Trump presidency, and then you think about Clinton and what was going on there.You kind of can't ignore it. So to have someone that was doing such a great job as the president from an impression standpoint, to be able to roll that out in so many different ways andpeople to not be like, Oh gosh, here's Bill Clinton again.[30:45] It never seemed like it had that feel to it.It was always kind of like, Oh, here's Daryl doing Bill again.He's showing up, what's he going to do this time? And to deploy it in those ways, I think was a credit to him and the oppression he did and all the things he did with it during that timewhen the president's front and center.Yeah. This one was just a truly defining impression and character for Daryl Hammond.Where do we go from here? What else do you want to talk about as far as Daryl goes?Oh man, I think, so I guess we could keep it in the same vein of like his, you know, his political impressions.So I was kind of thinking going from there going into Al Gore.So Al Gore, obviously another great impression that Daryl did.And I think when you look at his Gore. I think that there's a lot of conversation after one of the sketches I want to talk with you about, about his effect on potentially the election.And similar to what we saw later with Tina Fey and Sarah Palin, the accuracy, the take he took on Al Gore during the first presidential debate, I thought was hilarious.A hilarious rewatch for those who haven't seen it. The sketch that came to mind was the first presidential debate between Gore and George W. Bush.[32:03] And essentially, he plays Gore as being very, in Daryl's own words, as kind of like an overbearing teacher, talking very slowly and deliberately and being the smartest person in theroom explaining things.And of course, you see Will Ferrell as Bush playing the grown up frat kid who's running for president out of his depth and doesn't really know what's going on.And there's just so many good lines in that sketch. And once again, the accuracy that he brings to it, the writing in the sketch is fantastic.So like it's deployed perfectly talking about getting a great impression where you can get someone to say things that they probably wouldn't say normally.Daryl was great at that, obviously. So, you know, he's obviously references making fun of the term lockbox and referencing lockbox numerous times throughout the sketch. in my plan.The lockbox would also be camouflaged.Now, to all outward appearances, it would be a leather-bound edition of the Count of Monte Cristo by Alexander Dumas.But it wouldn't be.It would be the lockbox.[33:19] There's a lot of gray lines in that, but there is a point in time where he is, as Al Gore brings out a picture of this elderly woman named, and he's talking about the importance ofhealth care.And he's like, yeah, someone's Edda Munson. And he starts describing, he's like, she's a dear friend.He starts describing all of her issues. And he's like, she has one kidney, she suffers from a rare form of polio, spinal meningitis, lung, liver, and pancreatic cancer, diabetes, and a rare formof cystic acne.It's like this 94-year-old And it's like, he really does a really accurate take of Gore. And it's such a contrast with Farrell's Bush.And then obviously ending in one of the great classic lines for Farrell, describe your campaign in one word, strategery.[34:07] And then Gore saying lockbox. If anyone hasn't seen it, it's definitely worth a re-watch.I'm sure you probably struck a chord with you as well. But just him bringing that accuracy to another political candidate, I just thought it was another feather in his cap.Yeah, man, I think that sketch, that first presidential debate, that was in 2000, I think in October of 2000, it became viral before we really even called video clips and stuff viral.Before things went viral, this thing kinda did.I remember going to school, I was a freshman in college, and people were talking about it in class the following Monday.My mom and dad were like, did you see this? Did you see that?That was so funny. My mom and I quote it to each other to this day.It's just, I think it's when too, SNL may have like reannounced itself as a political comedy leader.[35:05] This because in the early 90s we know you know Dana did George HW Bush and Ross Perot, Phil Hartman did Bill Clinton and they had some really memorable sketches and theygot a lot of notoriety with politics but I think this specific presidential debate sketch was SNL re-announcing itself and Daryl and Jim Downey, Jim Downey the great Jim Downey wasbehind this and he they both of them really made it pop with the performance and the writing, making the Al Gore character talk about the lockboxes if it was a real thing, because the realAl Gore used lockboxes as a metaphor, but then people latched onto it.So, so they took it one step further and he actually in the sketch, like I think, brought out an actual lockbox and was talking to it, describing where he was going to hide the key and all thisstuff.Like, so it hit more often from like, this is a metaphor to like, no, this is actually a real lockbox.And that was just like a great, great angle.Daryl said that he, it was tough to get, for him to get a read on Al Gore initially.He said there were like three different types of Al Gores. Like Al Gore didn't speak the same way in the videos that he watched.So he thought that Al Gore just, he was speaking the way he, like a vocal coach kind of told him to speak.So that's kind of what he based it on. Like just very robotic, very folksy, but stiff and awkward at the same time and his movements and intonation.[36:33] So he definitely had a point of view with this one too, Will. Yeah, no, I would agree.And he hit the nail on the head. Like he brought something new and a very, I mean, Al Gore's energy versus Clinton, right?Totally different. So you see the versatility where we've seen impressionists or cast members who can only have one speed, right? They got one pitch.It's a hundred miles an hour down the plate. he was able to find the nuance in someone who's much more understated than say Bill Clinton and be able to like I said find that that slant onhim and with the great writing obviously bring an angle that was resonated with people and you know is is obviously one of their most successful and you know funny and great like mostrewatchable sketches for sure from a political standpoint.Yeah, I wanted to ask you, so after this sketch aired and after the election results especially, I mean this didn't get resolved until January of 2001.A lot of us who were around we remember waiting months for the final decision, but this was one of the first times I remember SNL almost getting blamed in some circles for the outcomeof an election.So do you think Do you think these political sketches could have an impact on elections?[37:53] You know, it's a great, it's a great question. I think, I want to, you know, I would say in some ways, yes, because I think there's two, there's two parts to it.One, as time goes on, we kind of forget how much people were paying, how much more people were paying attention to network television in the early 2000s, in the 90s, like, when SNLwas obviously the main, like, it was a appointment television, right?And so I think that there's an aspect where more eyes are on it.It was, like I said, viral before the idea of being viral was a thing.[38:30] And when you look at presidential elections, there are those who are very much in tune with elections and politics year round.It doesn't matter if it's an election year, they're looking at it all the time.There's a lot of people who are tuning in and once it's It's time for maybe the primaries, maybe it's the general election, and they go, all right, who we got?[38:51] Who are the candidates this year? And so when you have a show like SNL that has that platform, that's able to say, hey, here's our angle on the candidates, there are a lot of peoplethat take that, especially when it's presented in that hilarious package, and say, this is kind of what I think about this person.Or with any impression, you hear it once and then it's like, I can't look at Bill Clinton without thinking about Darrell Hammond.I can't look at, I'll go without thinking lockbox.Those things I think do get cemented in people. And I think the slant that SNL takes can affect people. I don't think that it's to the point that it is, they're swinging elections.[39:29] I think if they could swing elections or if they had that power, I don't think that, I don't think Trump would have won.I guess maybe he hosted, so maybe they did, but no, I'm just kidding.Yeah, there's probably some truth to that.I don't know. But I do think there are definitely, from a pop culture standpoint, are the general takes on people.I do think that there is that aspect because there are people who are just tuning in and getting a lot of their information from just during the election cycle and what popular commentators,their take is and the angle is on certain people at that critical time.Yeah. Well, I'm reminded actually of a tidbit that I heard that Al Gore's campaign staff apparently thought that it could have an impact because they They made Al Gore watch this debatesketch so he could get an idea as to why he might come off negatively to some people.They used it as an example to Al Gore and say, look, this is how SNL's kind of making fun of you.Honestly, this is how you could be perceived as very robotic.[40:27] So they were trying to show this to Al Gore to let him know, maybe show some personality.Maybe don't lecture the country in that way.So I think Al Gore's campaign staff...Thought about how SNL, I don't know if they thought that maybe if they thought SNL specifically could affect the outcome of the can of the election, but they felt that the SNL had somepower to be able to portray their candidate in a certain way.So I thought that was interesting that they're the outdoors on campaign staff was like, Hey, man, you got to watch this and cut it out.And so that is that is very interesting, especially to that point when and at the time those clips are getting replayed over and over again, pre-YouTube, pre all the ways we connect viasocial media now, that's gotta be front and center and that's what people are thinking about you as a candidate based on what Daryl's doing.Right, right. So yeah, now I wanna go outside of the political sphere.Those were two great impressions, Al Gore and Bill Clinton, but stepping outside of the political sphere for a second and another impression that I think he might be most well known for,he probably loves his Bill Clinton the best, but I think he's even said that he gets comments on this every single day, it's his Sean Connery from the Celebrity Jeopardy sketches.So yeah, Will, these had to have stood out to you like they did with me.[41:57] Oh man, 100%. I mean, you can talk about this in one of two ways, right? And I think maybe we'll save, oh, and we'll talk about both of these, Like the Connery impression,obviously, is so much fun.And not just the impression, the way that it was utilized, looking at it from this first appearance on Celebrity Jeopardy to like the final appearance, like they kind of build and grow whatthat character looks like and its interactions with Alex Trebek.I heard, this is probably just your urban legend, but I heard there's been different, like the origins of where the sketch came from, but Norm MacDonald has taken some credit, like that hehad taken it from like an SETV, I think, a sketch.There was talk of, I'm blanking on the other source, but I also heard that there was a point where like, Will Ferrell and Gerald Hammond were just like, in their free time, just somehowstarted doing like a Trebek and Connery impression and kind of just going back and forth, like just in general, just going like bantering back and forth and kind of ended up utilizing thatin the Celebrity Joplin sketches.But when you think about how much fun he had with that sketch, like the accuracy, like he's talked about it as being like an SNL impression and like his first Connery show on screen wasvery accurate and then kind of turned a little more cartoonish as like they, you know, did the patent for my Celebrity Jeopardy. The Celebrity Jeopardy.[43:22] Sketch, right, in all its iterations, is, to me, and we hate to go back to the Mount Rushmore thing, but like, when you talk about repetitive sketches on the show, it is what it is one of,if not the best recurring sketch that is essential SNL, like in the history of the show.And when you think about that sketch, you cannot think of it being done without Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek and Darryl Hammond as Sean Connery.It wouldn't feel right if someone else was doing that, while still having the ability to zoom in and out all these different other celebrity impressions and make it a showcase for that, whilestill having those two be that kind of way that centers it and that energy between the two of them anchoring the show.And there's obviously so many iterations of Celebrity Jeopardy, But I would just say that it's not probably his best impression from the standpoint of the Bill Clinton one, being apresident, political, as we talked about.[44:24] But it is an amazing impression and the impact it had on the show and the way it was used, I would say could make the case for being the most impactful one he's done because it'sjust an incredible use of that impression.I could go on for a while. I'm going to take a pause here. No, definitely. That was great.I'm going to let you get in here before we get into some of this sketch specifics.But I just think that it's an amazing impression.Now I have fond memories of this too. And it still resonates to this day.I think people watch Jeopardy. There's references to those old celebrity Jeopardy even nowadays.I think I saw a video recently, Ken Jennings, who's now for all intents and purposes, the host of Jeopardy now.One of the categories was swords. And one of the contestants said, I'll take S words.And Ken Jennings did acknowledge, it's actually swords but it was good you knew that Ken Jennings obviously knew where that came from Sean Connery it's still your board uh I'll takeswords for 400 it's actually not swords sir swords these are words that begin with s.[45:36] But even to this day like a contestant on Jeopardy said s words and when the category was sword that's that's a direct thing that he pulled from Celebrity Jeopardy.We hear that all the time the the penis mightier and like no that's the pen is mightier like just all these people try to come up with their own Jeopardy categories to and.[45:56] We all I think we've all I don't know I'll speak for myself and say that I've tried to do like a Sean Connery impression when nobody was looking and see how accurate I was and mycousin and I would do the Sean Connery to each other and it was just so yeah very very I think Mount Rushmore it might be like that I'm thinking of like what's up with that for me issomething that's up there but this one is just amazing.And there were two installments at the beginning. So the first installment of Celebrity Jeopardy, Sean Connery was in there with Burt Reynolds, and I forget who else. But then the nexttwo, Daryl Hammond played somebody else.So Sean Connery didn't come back till the fourth one, but it was a different one.He was almost kind of taking the place of the traits of Burt Reynolds because Norm Macdonald had left the show.So that's when in the fourth In the fourth installment, we saw Sean Connery, like the really, like that's when his full-on innuendo and attacking Alex Trebek and Alex Trebek's mom and allof this stuff, that's when it really started taking into shape was that fourth installment.It's just a great example of finding an angle with an impression, Will.[47:07] Yes, no, 100%, and it's funny because, you know, you talk about, like, I think everyone, I don't think you're alone, Tyler, I think everyone has done a Connery impression, in the safespace, like, because it's just, it's a fun one, it's obviously a really fun one to do.And I think Slavery and Jeopardy is probably one of the most quoted sketches on the show from a recurring standpoint.Yeah, like you said, the cadence and the rhythm they found within the show to have Connery be that, like, Connery be antagonistic with Will Ferrell's Trebek.Sean Connery, why don't you pick? Well, the game is afoot.I'll take anal bum cover for 7,000.[48:01] Oh, that's an album cover, not anal bum cover. I can read, Traback.That says anal bum cover. I spent five years of my life trying to invent an anal bum cover, failing to do so is my greatest regret.You have led a horrifying life. But I did put my top three, more or less, of Connery quotes within Celebrity Jeopardy, or his responses, I guess I should say.And I think, obviously, a lot of mom stuff here. But he says, there's one point, the category, I think, is animal sounds.And Connery says, this is the sound a cow makes, and he says, moo.Trebek says, that's wrong. He says, that's the sound your mother made last night.That's the sound your mother made last night. That was great.[48:56] That was great. For everybody listening, I did not play audio from that.That was actually me doing that, if you can't tell. I was going to say, you thought Connery was here and joined the podcast, but you could not get Darryl Hanneman on here.But that was amazing. That was good. I had to gear up for that.Yeah. That was good. And then he does the, what's the difference between you and a mallard with a cold? One's a sick duck.I can't remember how it ends, but your mother's a whore.[49:31] Just come out of left field. And then of course his answer of just write a number and he writes the letter V and his wager is suck it your back with the rest of the V making it a K.It's just like... Despite your best efforts. That's correct. That is a Roman numeral.[49:49] And then the, the, the burns and then the, the Hardy laughed at the Hardy laughed after, right, like.He just had like, there's just, it's obviously so over the top.[50:01] And obviously, this would never happen on Jeopardy. And I think the fact that Alex Trebek, obviously, like rest in peace was such a loved person, the idea that someone would beon the show and be this rude to him while in him still being so gracious and trying to just keep the show going, you know, I think all those things and find out ankles with it really worked.But the energy, like you said, that he brought with Connery as they kind of had Norman Donald Exit the show and Burt Reynolds leaving and him being able to fill that void. I just thoughtthat it was like a really fun, very fun angle that he brought to it and on one of like said the best recurring sets in the history of the show.Daryl described his Connery as a swashbuckler which I thought was interesting like that's what he had in mind was this swashbuckling guy who would just poke Alex Trebek's buttons buthe used the term swashbuckler which I thought which I thought was really funny and it's very evocative like I'm I'm like, yeah, I think that's a good description of this.Yeah, that feels very, very accurate, 100%. Yeah, so that's three iconic impressions and characters.Gosh, Bill Clinton, Sean Connery, Al Gore. Does he have anything else?I know there's probably a couple, at least. I mean, he's done so much, but just things that might stick out.There are a few I would throw out there.For those who are maybe not as familiar with Darrell Hammond for whatever reason, maybe like they're a recent fan of the show. Like a couple, like I'll say honorable mentions and somesketches that stood out to me, like it's just fun rewatches.[51:30] One, I would say this is in no particular order. I did a really good Phil Donahue.And as a kid of the 90s, like watching like talk shows and like he does as a Phil Donahue, he does a tirade on Weekend Update.Meanwhile, we've got a Republican Congress and the generals in the Pentagon are building B-1 bombers and flag is flying everywhere.It's the 4th of July and mom and dad and Yankee Doodle, I'm a Yankee Doodle Dandy, and God's in his heaven, all is right with the world.And meanwhile, blacks can't register.The Cuban missiles are pointed at our shores and ketchup is a vegetable. Ah![52:16] It's around the time that it's announced, Like, so I guess Rafael passed him, I think, in ratings.And he comes on and he's talking enormous, we can update, update anchor.And he just kind of goes on like a typical Donahue rant.So it's kind of of his time where if you'd ever watched Donahue and weren't used to his like kind of long monologues and like him getting passionate, it is so accurate and so funny, just asa kind of a, an accurate impression.It's just kind of a throwaway, but it's Donahue was really fun.And big shoes to fill with that Donahue because Phil Hartman.Yes. Has done a Donahue. And so people would obviously, SNL fans would definitely compare Daryl Hammond to Phil Hartman's Phil Donahue as they probably did with Bill Clinton aswell. So that speaks a lot to Daryl Hammond.He made something like Phil Donahue his own when a great cast member in Phil Hartman did a Phil Donahue.I find that that's an extra degree of difficulty, I think.Yes, yes. I think it's a great point, Thomas, because when you are taking over an impression from someone who is also, you know, Phil Hartman, I think on a lot of people's routeRushmore, again, I'm gonna go ahead and beat that horse to the ground.[53:26] But for all time cast members, it's a lot of pressure on that one, right, to take over two impressions he was doing.The other two I was going to mention really quick are Chris Matthews, who, to those who don't know, Chris Matthews is the host of the show Hardball on MSNBC back in the day, a livedebate show, they go around the horn.And there's an episode, it is from 2006, John McCain is the host.And Darrell Hammond plays Chris Matthews, and he's talking to Rachel Dratch as Rebecca DeWitt, talking about terrorism, John McCain as another politician he knows I'm blanking onright now, and then Tracy Morgan as Harry Belafonte, who's just saying the craziest stuff.And Daryl is centered in all of it as Matthews, going across the panel, reacting to them.Are we safer today than we were pre-9-11? Joining us today, Associate Director of the ACLU, Rebecca DeWitt.Hello, Chris. Boring. Also joining us, Attorney General of the United States, John Ashcroft. Thanks for having me, Chris.[54:32] I had to. I was afraid you'd arrest me and put me in a camp.And finally, he made headlines last week when he called Colin Powell a sellout, comparing him to a slave serving as Master Harry Belafonte.Harry, welcome. Welcome. Welcome. What are you, some kind of slave master?Oh, Belafonte. Crazy right off the bat. I love it.If you haven't seen that sketch before, great way to see kind of the things talked about the beginning, right, with Daryl doing an accurate impression, making space for other cast members,playing his role perfectly, but being able to give people air for their great lines to breathe, making room for his great line deliveries, and being able to be this vehicle for nonsense in anaccurate impression for someone in the political sphere or wherever. rewatch if.[55:28] You haven't seen that one. Yeah, I just love how he played Chris Matthews so grumpy, like Chris Matthews is kind of a grumpy dude, like that's kind of how he comes across on theair as it is, but just how Daryl just took that and turned it up to 11, just a little bit on the grumpiness.It's just great. I always, always love seeing his Chris Matthews pop up.That is a great one. I really love that sketch. That's always a fun, fun rewatch. And then, I know we talked about politics already, but this is just like one throwaway sketch.It's obviously Daryl was doing Donald Trump as well before he was doing Donald Trump before I think like Taron Killam did it for a while and then for Alec did it now obviously with aJ.A.J.[56:12] Doing it now. But there is a the time he was doing obviously Trump is most known for the Apprentice and then kind of got into the GOP debate.But there's a there's a sketch where where he is playing Donald Trump doing a Domino's Pizza ad.And action. Say cheese, burger, pizza, only from Domino's like the game.Cut. Yeah. OK, that was great, except that, uh, you know.That was great. Keep rolling, because I'm going to wing one now right off the cuff, Robin Williams style. And action. Cheese Louise, I'm hungry.Hey, wait. I'm a slice of cheeseburger pizza from Domino's I like the game. Eat me.[56:59] Trump comes on screen wearing a huge pizza and it's Seth Meyers in the background, like as the director, kind of giving him lines and feeding him lines.And basically Darryl as Donald Trump, just butchering it, you know, basically in calling dominoes, dominios and like not getting the theme song wrong or not getting the theme songright.At one point in time, I think he says, do do do do do do, do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do Apprentice and he's having a lot of fun with it.It's a very silly sketch with some great lines in it. But like I said, those three you're talking about.Donahue, Chris Matthews, Donald Trump. I mean, we've talked about six of hundred, like almost a hundred impressions he's done, and all of them are very accurate and he has a lot of funwith them. And those are a couple of ones I just wanted to throw in as honorable mentions for him.One that really sticks out to me is his Regis Philbin.I really loved, and that's another one, like Dana Carvey did a really good Regis, one that I really loved from Dana Carvey.And so to see Daryl do it, I loved Daryl's Regis Philbin as well.And just like he had Daryl had that vocal cadence down.[58:28] Perfectly What'd you do last night well, I went to a big party last night It's happened on the green to celebrate the release of Diane Carroll's new record album Fancy it was veryfancy.I mean this party was star-studded I mean, everyone was there.The shouts at the end of sentences, you could feel his Regis getting more riled up and then it would just explode at the end.[58:54] Like, yeah, it's just a testament to Daryl that I didn't immediately just

Jordan takes a look at a short-lived quiz show where contestants get clues to a person place or thing, and then risking their money if they dare.

Seattle Sounders vs. DC United (week 15 2014) Way to go USA, all making it out of the "Group of Death!" And yes, I do believe there should be ample, "Suck it, Trebek" to the rest of the world. A game in the nation's capital takes a backseat to several rants by the Pow Wow crew; Hope Solo and scheduling take center stage this show. Troy's sincerest apologies.

Q: In this episode of the popular Fireside Breakdowns podcast, hosts Robin and Jon tackle some uncommon current events knowledge, Trebek style. A: What is Fireside Jeopardy? Our plan for this episode was to do a little discussion on a few concepts and terms we've seen in the news this week that don't get explained very often. They're kind of just thrown around, and everyone listening or reading is expected to know what they mean or put it together using context. So, we wanted to explain what each one means and give some reference points about why it's important to current events.  But then we got to thinking… what was the best way to learn new concepts and test your knowledge in school?  With a rousing game of Jeopardy, of course! Listen in as we tackle topics like the Lame Duck session, the Debt Ceiling, and the Speaker of the House.

Last Friday, a ferry service between P.E.I. and Nova Scotia saw more than 200 passengers and staff forced to evacuate due to a fire. We speak to Adele McNeill in Nova Scotia who was aboard at the time. Kehkashan Basu, founder and president of the Green Hope Foundation, on being one of the grantees of the Trebek Initiative and how she's working toward empowering the next generation of changemakers who illuminate and protect Canadian and Indigenous land, wildlife, water, culture and history. The show Anthropic Traces opens July 27th in Toronto. It's a large-scale production fusing contemporary music, circus, dance, theatre, mask, and multimedia. We speak to Rebecca Leonard, the show's co-director and co-creator, and Ilana Waniuk the show's co-artistic director, co-music director and violinist.

When you mention the game show Jeopardy, the name of Alex Trebek immediately comes to mind. Alex hosted the syndicated show for 37 seasons. He hosted other game shows and appeared as himself in numerous films and TV series. Trebek was born in Canada. He moved to the United States in 1973 and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1998. He received the Daytime Emmy award for Outstanding Game Show Host eight times for Jeopardy. I spoke with Alex shortly after the revival of Jeopardy. He graciously gave me the inside story on game shows, what it takes to become a host, and how hard is it to become a contestant?

Jordan and Alex discuss the Olympics of Trivia on this extra-special “Jeop-isode” of TMI! You'll find out how Lucille Ball helped get Alex Trebek the hosting gig (and how hash brownies nearly put him out of commission), how the theme tune was written on a Hollywood icon's piano, and how the writers come up with clues in the first place. The duo will also lift the lid on the show's finely-honed production process, offer tips on the insane, PTSD-inducing preparation that prospective contestants go through, and reveal whether or not Trebek ever met his SNL Celebrity Jeopardy nemesis Sean Connery in real life.

We got a special episode this week on the 11 on Eleven Podcast! As you can probably tell by the title we're playing Jeopardy but the football version with special guest Mahmoud as our host!

When host Alex Trebek died in 2020, Jeopardy’s future was unclear. Could the game show continue to be successful without him? So far, the answer is yes. Claire McNear, a reporter at The Ringer and the author of Answers in the Form of Questions: A Definitive History and Insider’s Guide to Jeopardy!, spoke with Apple News Today host Shumita Basu about all things Jeopardy — from superfan online message boards to game strategy to Trebek’s legacy.

This week we go over the extremely polarizing film, Malignant, and the disgusting ideas that inspired it. This was taped in Trent's garage making a hollow sound with the mics. However, the episode is really good, so suck it Trebek! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank talks about Alex Trebek, the longtime host of Jeopardy! who recently celebrated his 80th birthday. The celebration of his eight decades of life coincided with the release of reflections on his life codified in a book titled, “The Answer Is…” The story caught Hank's attention for several reasons. Not the least of which is that both lived in Ontario and both have been diagnosed with stage four cancer. Moreover, both claim to be unafraid of death, but for very different reasons. Trebek does not believe in a specific god nor “a particular version of the afterlife.” Hank on the other hand does. In fact, Hank wrote a book titled, Afterlife: What You Need to Know About Heaven, the Hereafter & Near-Death Experiences. As Lee Strobel wrote in the foreword to Afterlife, “When you are on the verge of leaving this world, it becomes critically urgent to know what awaits you in the next.” So what does await us in the next? What awaits Alex Trebek? What awaits Hank? In keeping with the title of Alex's new book, The Answer Is… eternity.
