Dick Van Dyke, in apologizing for his Cockney accent sounding “atrocious” in Mary Poppins, very possibly thought about the “supercalifragilisticexpialidocious“ song and it’s opening line with “atrocious”!
Sorry that the clues were mean to Waseem.
Alex said to “wrap up the week” didn’t he? He was having a rough day! Always makes me think he’s not feeling well🙁
So Waseem becomes the fifth contestant this season (6th to be precise) to not play Final J! because he was at zero though he was lucky enough he didn’t end up in the red.
Alex Trebeck, always elegant and affable, was indeed having a rough day (as we ALL do). But I did have to laugh when he called her “Jessica Rabbit” by mistake. You guys remember the movie “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” ?
That Corona clue was evidence of how far in advance the shows are taped. Last night in particular, it was cringeworthy.
