Anybody who watches Jeopardy! knows how after the first commercial break Alex Trebek chats for a few moments with each contestant on air. Last night when he got to the current champion, he read off his little card that she loves cats. She said she did, had one of her own, and that she volunteers on the weekends for a rescue in Santa Monica to help get homeless kittens and puppies adopted. Then, with all his tact, Alex Trebek proceeded to ask her "which ones are easier to *unload*, kittens or puppies?" The contestant paused, eyes rather widened (as if she couldn't believe he phrased the question like he did) and said "the puppies". I couldn't believe my ears and even worse, couldn't believe that the editors didn't change what he said.
I lost a lot of respect for Mr. Trebek in that moment and don't think I'll be watching again any time soon. Idiot
