A L O H A !
I tried out for JEOPARDY here
in Honolulu years ago.
The first day was a cattle call,
and I made it through!
The next day, ALEX TREBEK
was there with many fewer
contestants in the running.
It was very exciting when he
walked into the fairly small room!
Alex exuded a star quality, but
was also very down to earth
in a way I admire.
No pretense, just a happy guy
who liked us back.
The first
day I had all the answers.
The second day had too many
golf and sports questions.
I didn't move on to the show.
But Alex came back and wished us
all well before we left.
"Tell your friends and families that
you missed being on
the show by one question"
He Smiled and advised.
And so I have to this day.
God Bless You Alex Trebek!
Thanks for making Smart Cool!
We Love You ❤
What is an awesome blog post? Who is the adorable Ms. Pixie Cat?
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely memory (and man).
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, sporting questions (or movies) would see me leave the building too.
It's said that he thought the next host should be a female. Do you think you should try out?
ReplyDeleteOh wow! That’s awesome, Cloudia. I’m really going to miss seeing him in the afternoon before dinner. You have met so many interesting people.
ReplyDeleteHe will be missed by so many people!
ReplyDeleteWe thank you for your dear visits!
ReplyDeleteHe was a graceful man, and one with strong connections to Ottawa.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great experience. He will be so missed. I can't imagine who will take over Jeopardy.
