CNN Hosts Who Suck at 'Jeopardy' for $500

Posted Sep 18th 2009 11:32AM by TMZ Staff

Wolf Blitzer -- one of the most decorated hard-news reporters on the planet -- got his ass handed to him on "Jeopardy" last night ... by a comedian's sidekick.

By the end of Double Jeopardy, Blitzer racked up an impressive NEGATIVE $4,600 -- after swinging and missing on brain-busters like King David and Jesus both hailed from this town. Wolf said "Jerusalem" ... the correct answer is Bethlehem.

On one of the few Wolf got right, Alex belatedly took it back -- because Wolf's answer, "Julia Childs" had an errant "S."

When it was all over, Andy Richter absolutely dominated Wolf and Dana Delany -- finishing with an impressive $68,000 and a ticket to the next round.

The 68k went to Richter's charity -- the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Both Wolf and Dana's charities were kindly given $25k each.

3. Jesus i thought he was smart, but i guess it goes to show your only as smart as the teleprompter. Perhaps he will get and invite to the kids Jeopardy, he might do a bit better.

4. Just goes to show you, they are no smarter than the average person. They know how to fake it to get the big bucks.

6. The Wolf man is just another talking head. Proves he can only read what's on the teleprompter. Way to go CNN.

9. THIS... is CNN.

Let's not forget that this is Jarhead Jeopardy (aka Celebrity Jeopardy) and that all of the questions are dumbed down. It's on par with Jeopardy's Teen Tournament, if not easier.

There's a reason CNN is biased; it's commentators are dumb as rocks!

12. A comedian's sidekick? Give Andy Richter some credit. The man had his own sitcom at one time.

14. Congrats to Andy! Great to see a celebrity giving money to a REAL charity like St. Jude and not something like the Andy Richter Foundation to line his own or his family's pockets.
