Johnny Gilbert: The [raffle] is our way of thanking you for giving us your money--I mean, applause, for these last couple of shows.
Johnny: Alex Trebek will come crashing through that glass wall in the back there...it's a messy process, but we like to entertain you all.
Alex (during first break of first show): How many of you are still with us from this morning?
(some, including the contestants, raise their hands)
Alex (looking at contestants): Well, DUH!
Audience member: What do you like to do when you're not hosting Jeopardy!?
Alex: When I'm not filming Jeopardy!...I like to drink.
(audience laughter)
Alex: Diet Pepsi. (goes on)
My friend sitting next to me (while Alex is talking): WOOOOO DIET PEPSI!
Me: Do you ever get sick of the Jeopardy! think music?
Alex: Do I ever get sick of the Jeopardy! think music...no, I don't, I mentally block it out.
Audience member: Um--
Alex: Don't start a sentence with "um"!
Alex (after first break of second show, with Dracula accent): I feel as though I have seen some of you before.
(Johnny does a pickup of a contestant intro)
Said contestant, Raynell: (whispers) Thank you!
Alex: What'd he say the first time?
Raynell: Rah-nell. Should be Ray-nell.
Alex (in mock disgust): What's wrong with Rah-nell?
Audience member: How much of the Jeopardy! material do you personally know?
Alex: Oh, only about 96 percent.
(audience laughs)
Alex: (pats nose) Is it...yeah, it's getting longer.
Audience member: Have you ever met Pat Sajak and Vanna White?
Alex: Oh yes. Have you?
Audience member: No.
Alex: You haven't? Well, that makes me one-up on you, doesn't it?
(Outside studio, after taping. Alex is walking to his truck in jeans and a jacket.)
Alex: Now don't laugh!
Me: I've seen you in those kinds of clothes before, don't worry.
...He obviously forgot that I was a contestant seven years ago. But I wasn't expecting him to remember.
