Tonight brought us another edition of celebrity Jeopardy!, with Cheech Marin, Aisha Tyler, and the Silver Fox himself, Anderson Cooper. Well, Cooper kind of sucked. Actually, he really sucked. Are CNN anchors incapable of playing Jeopardy! well? Inside, video highlights.

It's no secret that Jeopardy! contestants sometimes crack under pressure and give WTF-worthy answers. Our girl—and, now, Gawker.TV commenter—Lysette Tidwell is one example. But on Friday's episode, a fellow named Ashok gave two of the worst answers imaginable.

Canadian game show host Alex Trebek will host a Republican fundraiser in Malibu tonight. (Pat Sajak: also a Republican.) Related: Conservapedia blames socialism and gay marriage for Canada's failed Olympics.

By the time Double Jeopardy rolled around tonight on the Celebrity Invitational we figured that Chris Matthews would reinforce our belief that cable news hosts shouldn't bother trying to prove that they know anything. Chris Matthews, consider our words eaten.

Last night, Jeopardy! welcomed Pat Sajak, Elizabeth Perkins and Doug Savant to play in its Million Dollar Celebrity Invitational. Sajak shrewdly dominated the game, and with good reason: when he decided to be momentarily altruistic, the competition failed miserably.

Do you know the difference between being completely blind and being legally blind when not wearing glasses? Good. You know who doesn't? Lysette Tidwell, a contestant on tonight's episode of Jeopardy! Tidwell? More like Tid-LOLWAT. All aboard the fail boat!

Unlike the complex game of chess, mastering Jeopardy with a computer would seem to be a simple matter of automating Wikipedia searches. But there's more to it than that:

Greg Lindsay comes across as an uptight guy. But that doesn't stop him from appearing on television again and again. Indeed, he's the poster boy for go-getters who try on every form of media until they find one that fits best. The former WWD gossip columnist and author of a book about sleeping in airports landed a "memorable" appearance on Martha Stewart's TV show earlier this year. And last night, he was a contestant on Jeopardy! The secret to his publicity, he advised a youngster long ago, is to remember "it's all about the brand called you." And how!
