Jeopardy! Contestant Gives Hilariously Incorrect Answer With Unparalleled Confidence

Now I’m not one to take pleasure in the widely public failures of others. Ok ok, you’re right. Love it. Need it. Have to have it. Trebek fucking loves it too. He wakes up in the morning hoping he can be the one to shatter someone’s dreams. Savage ass Trebek.

Trebek and I were both happy at the blunder of Kevin McGinty. The category was “3 + 3,” meaning each response has two words, each with exactly three letters. When Trebek gave the clue, “A hired assassin,” Kevin confidently said with a complete disregard for the Jeopardy format, well, I won’t ruin it…

I haven’t been this confident about my own phone number. Good for you, Kevin. And don’t feel shitty about your moronic answer. It could always be worse.

Matt’s love of writing was born during a sixth grade assembly when it was announced that his essay titled “Why Drugs Are Bad” had taken first prize in D.A.R.E.’s grade-wide contest. The anti-drug people gave him a $50 savings bond for his brave contribution to crime-fighting, and upon the bond’s maturity 10 years later, he used it to buy his very first bag of marijuana.
