20 Questions, Round 548

[miminena]

Who is Alex Trebek?

I'll take "Dan Quayle" for 400, Alex

In the run-up to the 1992 election, Quayle picked a fight with this sitcom over their portrayal of single motherhood.

What is Murphy Brown?

Who is Alex Trebek?

Correct! You have control of the board, Sparty.

Hooray! Trebek is the first 20Q pick I have met in person. I was sad when he passed away. Very good pick.

No, I wasn't on Jeopardy!, but it was not too hard for me to dig up a picture of Trebek and me. There's a bit of a story there that if anyone is curious, I could share by PM (but I'd rather not post on a public forum itself - just because it gives away a lot of information about me).
