The 78-year-old Jeopardy! host commented on the #MeToo movement in his wide-ranging Vulture interview. "You know, when the #MeToo movement started, I had discussions with the staff during production meetings. I said, 'My gosh, this has got to be a scary time for men,'" he said. "I’m fortunate that I’ve never been in a position of power where I might be able to lord it over somebody sexually. I said, “But there are guys out there — young guys are stupid in their teens.” There’s nothing stupider than a teenage boy. They’re operating on testosterone." Trebek also said the celebrity contestant he most wanted to have on was Kevin Spacey. "He’s bright, and there would be so many funny moments because of all his great impressions," said Trebek. "But now you can’t say that. So to answer your question: the pope. I was raised Catholic." ALSO: Trebek on how Donald Trump would play Jeopardy!: "He might not agree that any of the correct responses are correct."

Washington Post stirs controversy by reporting on an interview something called The Vulture did with an entertainer who shouldn't be presumed to have significant insights into public issues.

Alex Trebek is a known conservative which means the liberal media is out to get him any way they can, just like they protect liberals any way they can. Robert DeNiro curses out President Trump on national TV and he's a hero.
