Just having Alex saying it so straight faced makes it even funnier.

He had a great sense of humor. He was always willing to lampoon himself, and he always committed to the bit.

Love how the Cher joke still works, even though it was more a dig at her based on her previous appearance on Letterman.
This is quite literally the 2 people on television who shaped me the most: my sense of humor and my thirst for knowledge would be nothing without these two. Keep up the good work, Dave. And thank you for everything, Alex.

Watching this just makes you realise how much we actually appreciate and miss David Letterman. A true TV legend in every sense of the word. We miss you Dave 😢
When you start with a killer Cher joke, you know its going to be a good one
I love Top Ten lists that I even read the first and second volume of the Top Ten! RIP Trebek
R.I.P. Alex Trebek, a great Jeopardy host!

This is an incredible channel! Love seeing these clips that I missed when they originally aired.
#10 was the best! Thanks for the uploads! Much better quality than having to watch old vhs tapes!
Kidding aside...love you Alex! R.I.P.

Is it strange that I base my life's timeline on the years before Trebek's mustache and the years after?
More than a few of those would fit quite well on SNL's Celebrity Jeopardy.....
Miss you, Alex!
That tie was absolutely ridiculous. , , , , ,and . . . .well . . . . Dave was too at times. Dave is a unique taste in comedy. Thanks for your channel's focus on Dave's unique comedy. I missed a lot of his shows over the years.
Said by Chip Esten on Whose Line "I'll take Things Nobody Knows for 200."
Things that smell like eggs 😂🤣😂🤣
If these were actual categories Sean Connery would have instantly won!

Listening to alex say this is like first hearing Patrick stewart play avery bullock on American dad. Hilarious.
Trebek, you magnificent bastard
0:57 Might be a wider category than you think
"Things Cher has had done to her" should have been number one judging from the reaction it received.
George Alexander Trebek 1940-2022 We'll miss you, pal.
#10 sounds like HASN'T would be a shorter list AND the HAS would be another top 10 list.
1:15 #6 could actually work if the question writers though about it enough. 😁
I learned the word "chafing" from Dave.
I hope Alex greeted Bob Barker at the pearly gates with a handshake.
I miss Alex Trebak so much but he's the greatest longtime host for Jeopardy game shows. 👍
People who knew the value of making other people laugh!
"Things that smell like eggs" That defiantly made it on Celebrity Jeopardy somehow
#6 showed up on January 23, 2008.
Number 5 actually seemed Legit! haha
Alex was a good guy.
I wonder if in #2 he would have put Sean Connery in there. Also instead of "Ito's, Tito's, and Frito's", I'd be down for the category "Frito's, Dorito's, and Tostito's"
#5 is very different since Workin Moms.
Alex, I'll take 'Gap Toothed Freaks' for One Thousand.

If they knew then what we know now, football would be a rejected category. And I'm pretty sure the $800 question for the #2 category would involve Sean Connery somehow. LOL
first one is the best.
Like Dave's tie
I remember when the categories came unscrambled with that effect, what's it called?
Legal
As a gap toothed freak, I would have liked to have seen that category. Shame on you, Trebek!

Ken Jennings might get the writers to make that category a reality. Who knows?
As Ken suggested, Can I buy a vowel?
Obviously, throbbing came up before the list was shown.

It would have been funnier if it was Will Ferrell doing it as Trebeck.
Could've added potent potables to the list

Can't believe they cut off Dave's reaction to the #1 category. The editor of this clip should be fired. Unless of course she's an intern.

That was once mentioned on "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" when they were playing Scenes From a Hat, and the suggestion pulled out by Drew Carey was "Jeopardy questions where the Whose Line cast members are the answers".
Would've liked , to have seen Alex's view on him/hers on the show . No, offense to : anyone or preference its your choice .
Nowadays there would be a lot more rejected categories with how sensitive people are these days 🙄🙄🙄🙄
