Surprise: Chris Matthews bombs on “Jeopardy”
With the category “Law and Order,” the answer was, “A U.S.D.C is one of these, charged with the jurisdiction of a specific region.”
Matthews responded, “What is a U.S. attorney?”
And this guy has the nerve to ridicule anyone. Where do you find “attorney” in the acronym “U.S.D.C.?”
Obviously, the correct response was district court.
Then, in the same category, another answer was, “In 1986, the Supreme Court ruled that the ‘hostile environment’ type of this can be sex discrimination.”
Matthews responded, “What is a hostile workplace?”

Wow Chrissy, that’s pretty embarrassing. I bet even Palin could manage a third-place finish (especially against a dumbass like Gibbs).
Tell us again how ignorant Palin is, Chrissy. Tell us again how she’d likely humiliate herself on Jeopardy, Chrissy.

I’ll take “Obnoxious Cable News Hosts Who Are About To Be Further Exposed As Idiots” for $1000, Alex.
JimLennon on May 15, 2012 at 11:02 AM
I watched it. It was delicious. Speaking of delicious, Dana Perino is on tonight’s Jeopardy.
Trafalgar on May 15, 2012 at 11:02 AM
Well, Matthews is the dumbest talking head on TV.
SC.Charlie on May 15, 2012 at 11:03 AM
I have to admit. I got a real thrill out of watching this idiot fail. EPIC.
Rocks on May 15, 2012 at 11:03 AM
Folks, read the whole thing. The best part is that this guy mocked Sarah Palin several times by saying she’d lose big if she ever went on Jeopardy.
radjah shelduck on May 15, 2012 at 11:04 AM
But not up your leg I’ll bet.
Drained Brain on May 15, 2012 at 11:04 AM
Good one!

Classic.
derecho on May 15, 2012 at 11:06 AM
I would love to hear his excuse for being in last place.
derecho on May 15, 2012 at 11:07 AM
Chris Matthew’s can use this as his new theme song to Hairball, with Weird Al’s permission, of course:
“I Lost on Jeopardy!”
JimLennon on May 15, 2012 at 11:08 AM
Did you both notice they kept GIVING Chrissy the question, when he didn’t say “What is or Who is”. I was like BULLCRAP!
upinak on May 15, 2012 at 11:10 AM
For the love of god, please someone tell me who the complete and total imbeciles are that were surprised to find out that Chris Matthews is an imbecile?
SWalker on May 15, 2012 at 11:15 AM
LMAO
What an idiot
Norwegian on May 15, 2012 at 11:17 AM
They’re the same people who take David Brooks seriously.
CurtZHP on May 15, 2012 at 11:17 AM
Ah, the explosive combination of ego and idiocy. Fun to watch.
Meric1837 on May 15, 2012 at 11:17 AM
How did he even get up to $2300 at the end? Did they allow him to bid $3000 on the final Jeopardy question?
The Schaef on May 15, 2012 at 11:19 AM
A couple of weeks ago they had a category called Novelty Songs and “I Lost on Jeopardy” was one of the answers. I lol’d.
22044 on May 15, 2012 at 11:19 AM
I’ll take Dumbass for $200, Alex.
JammieWearingFool on May 15, 2012 at 11:20 AM
actually Chrissy said it like this:
Istabnbul.. eerrr I mean What is Istanbul…
There was time he didn’t even hit the buzzer, just shouted out the answer.
upinak on May 15, 2012 at 11:21 AM
knowing he suffers from GERD, gave me a modicum of satisfaction in the past. but THIS. ahhhh, how sweet.
hope Sarah shoves this down the fats slobs mouth sometime. revenge being a dish best served cold.
renalin on May 15, 2012 at 11:22 AM
This is funny because I’ve recently been watching old SNL Celebrity Jeopardy skits. Those were great.
MobileVideoEngineer on May 15, 2012 at 11:22 AM
There won’t be an excuse, but Matthews will tell his audience how he beat Wolf Blitzer’s score by almost $7,000.
Lost in Jersey on May 15, 2012 at 11:22 AM
A: He’s a socialist propaganda apparatchik and media slut, but at least he’s not very smart.
Q: Who is Chris Matthews?
Kenosha Kid on May 15, 2012 at 11:23 AM
Who knew instant karma was as tasty as the slow-simmer kind?

Six Letter Capitol
I wish Alex would have said “No, and no…….with a facepalm at the end.
VegasRick on May 15, 2012 at 11:28 AM
Watched the whole thing – it was a riot. Most tooth-grinding moment: when the CNN lady proudly, and with a big grin, gave the correct answer to a question about who played some fake warrior for the people in a Hollywood rendition of the horrors of nuclear energy: “Jane Fonda”.
Blech.
peski on May 15, 2012 at 11:29 AM
I’ll take things I don’t know for $1000, Alex–Tingles
NoFanofLibs on May 15, 2012 at 11:29 AM
Embicile.
peski on May 15, 2012 at 11:30 AM
And where are the trolls to support Matthews?
derecho on May 15, 2012 at 11:35 AM
They should have somehow put Matthews, Couric and Palin on the same panel. Palin would have probably won.
SC.Charlie on May 15, 2012 at 11:36 AM
Piper Palin would have crushed him in “Are you smarter than a 5th grader”..:)
idesign on May 15, 2012 at 11:41 AM
I’ll take “Legend-In-Their-Own-Mind Vacuous MSM Personalities” for $1000, Alex…
landlines on May 15, 2012 at 11:47 AM
It couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy.
rndmusrnm on May 15, 2012 at 11:58 AM
Time to change the name of his show to “Nerfball with Chris Matthews”.
When will that episode re-air, I want to throw a party?
fogw on May 15, 2012 at 12:04 PM
Funniest part was when he’d answer a question without buzzing in.
And the Final Jeopardy, where Alex mentioned that the subject of the category (Awards) was given an award by the NAACP. To which Chris jumped in and said, “Oh then I got it wrong because I said ‘Mary Tyler Moore’ ” – - this was before Alex could ask to see Matthews’ answer onscreen. He doesn’t even get how the show WORKS!
Wolf Blitzer must feel slightly better today.
DarthBrooks on May 15, 2012 at 12:20 PM
Trebek kicks azz. The coolest Canadian ever and he’ll chase your azz down and give you a beatdown if you try and f**k with him!
