Housewives Hunks Land in Jeopardy

When you reach 5,000 episodes, you deserve a celebration, so Jeopardy!, that game show of a certain age, will do it up big with two weeks of Celebrity Jep. TV Guide has learned that among the 30 names hitting the buzzers for charity for November-sweeps broadcasts are hopefully smart-and-nimble Desperate Housewives guys James Denton and Doug Savant, Law & Order franchisees Sam Waterston, Christopher Meloni and Kathryn Erbe (all competing against each other), Anderson Cooper, Rachael Ray, Paul Shaffer, Martin Short and Regis Philbin, who says he wants to make up for the "broken buzzer" he had during his last time on the show.

I rather see the Saturday Night Live version celebrate this momentous Jeopardy event. Will Ferrell as Alex Trebek. Darryl Hammond as Sean Connery. I forgot who did John Travolta. And Norm McDonald doing Burt Reynolds. That would be CLASSIC! I'm cracking up just thinking about it!

I agree with Rachel ... it would be great if they could even get Will Ferrell to be on it.

Celebrity Jeopardy! Awesome~I love celebrity jeopardy. For one, celebrities know how to be entertaining why better than regular people, plus they have to dumb down the questions for celebrities, which is fun.

saturday night live opardy would be hilarious! And very funny and classy of jeopardy to acknowledge those legendary sketches.
