Alex Trebek apparently does NOT like to be corrected,because on Today's show he seemed a bit put out when somebody in the production staff (unseen)corrected him when he said "It's not Emeril Lagass,it's Emeril Lagasse."kinda snottily like.Did anyone else who saw today's episode notice this?

...usually, Alex takes these corrections in stride. Keep in mind, though, that this was a "Thursday" show- Alex often tapes three to five shows in one day. Those episodes scheduled for later in the week are often taped at the end of a long and tiring day...where patience is often in short supply, or Alex might be somewhat exhausted, sometimes during the commercial breaks. Maintaining the illusion that the show is taped every day has been a bit more challenging in recent years. But Alex continues to pull it off- even if he is a bit abrupt about certain incidents...
