Who Is Rachel Maddow?

Participants on the game show Jeopardy were shown a picture of MSNBC host Rachel Maddow and asked to identify her. All three contestants sat in silence until the buzzer.

Who is Richard Madcow.

jaegov   January 26th, 2012 - 9:13 pm

He looks like a very nice young man.

Grace656   January 26th, 2012 - 9:14 pm

That's encouraging.

Bighat   January 26th, 2012 - 9:15 pm

So, who is he?

BMartin1776   January 26th, 2012 - 9:15 pm

Who is this dude? MSNBC whats that? Is it some kind of physical monthly disorder or something?

A_pen   January 26th, 2012 - 9:15 pm

I'm guessing the show will now be investigated for partisan selection of contestants. Not that you'll ever find a lib that knows how do score anything than a biscuit for doing tricks.

SunshineConnie   January 26th, 2012 - 9:17 pm

Who? An over educated idiot who only thinks they are intelligent.

quivive   January 26th, 2012 - 9:17 pm

Romney's brother?

Breit On!   January 26th, 2012 - 9:18 pm

Not only do liberal journalists suck at Jeopardy (Wolf Blitzer) but no one knows who the hell they are when there is money up for grabs. LOL!

SaveTheRepublic1791   January 26th, 2012 - 9:18 pm

I'm pretty sure one of these contestants thought, "I know I've seen that guy before?"

Nobody knew who she was because nobody watches her show OR that pathetic channel.

ChiTownTom   January 26th, 2012 - 9:18 pm

One contestant that would have got it right was a guy last week who came in last place but wanted to split the winning money evenly…

LibertyWriter   January 26th, 2012 - 9:18 pm

Do you know if he's married. I have a sister.

Bighat   January 26th, 2012 - 9:19 pm

So, who is he?

SaveTheRepublic1791   January 26th, 2012 - 9:19 pm

"What is a 'Desperate University?'"

SaveTheRepublic1791   January 26th, 2012 - 9:20 pm

I'm pretty sure one of these contestants thought, "I know I've seen that guy before?"

Librtaren   January 26th, 2012 - 9:21 pm

All three contestants should have been awarded $1600 for being smart enough to NOT know who this (wo?)man is.

adlibn   January 26th, 2012 - 9:22 pm

It's Keith Olbermann's little brother.

gman213   January 26th, 2012 - 9:22 pm

They even had to tell Alex Trebeck who she was in show prep!

JimMcVeigh   January 26th, 2012 - 9:22 pm

Assuming that the contestants are a cross section of average Americans, it would seem to indicate that a certain talk show host is correct in saying that America is a conservative country that is wildly over represented in the popular culture by lefties and that makes it seem as though liberalism is somehow…what's the word…Normal.

How long would it have taken the panel to identify Rush Limbaugh?
:-)

antilibterds   January 26th, 2012 - 9:23 pm

Who is Pat ?

nymphas   January 26th, 2012 - 9:24 pm

You gotta be kidding me! SHE'S NO OXBRIDGE!! Haaaahaaaaahaaa. She's an Ox alright, a Madcow! She probably got an honorary degree. Who ever heard of a degree in Politics? What's her thesis on? How to manipulate the masses with fourth estate propaganda to induce totalitarian liberalism? Give me a break! Next thing we'll get is Reverand Sharpton is a Yale J-School grad with honors. Get off the meds libs.

overlandpark4me   January 26th, 2012 - 9:25 pm

Is the title a trick question? It's a dude. Did i miss something?

antilibterds   January 26th, 2012 - 9:27 pm

Who is purple teletubbie ?

wtf4   January 26th, 2012 - 9:28 pm

What holds back water?

Kini   January 26th, 2012 - 9:29 pm

That's Wesley Crusher from ST:NG

antilibterds   January 26th, 2012 - 9:30 pm

Who is irrelevant ?

Rovidan   January 26th, 2012 - 9:30 pm

Who is ………Jake Gyllenhall?

everette18294   January 26th, 2012 - 9:31 pm

Ditto!!!!

antilibterds   January 26th, 2012 - 9:33 pm

Who is Pelosi's girl toy ?

Gmalc   January 26th, 2012 - 9:35 pm

Have you noticed this praise for these liberals as true intellectuals when all they know is sarcasm towards conservatives?

Doyouwantmore   January 26th, 2012 - 9:37 pm

That's Rick Astley.

Kingkaiser   January 26th, 2012 - 9:37 pm

Thats Jon Stewert in drag and he's not very nice.

MSMediacritic   January 26th, 2012 - 9:39 pm

Who is the only person who watches the Rachel Maddow show?

towerhill66   January 26th, 2012 - 9:40 pm

Who??? The question is WHAT????

wilmac   January 26th, 2012 - 9:41 pm

same question i always ask.

burns1   January 26th, 2012 - 9:42 pm

What was the question again?

KraZedSeXpooDle   January 26th, 2012 - 9:46 pm

that was hysterical

Mrs.Tank   January 26th, 2012 - 9:46 pm

"All three contestants sat in silence until the buzzer."

lol..Laugh of the CENTURY! He should hang his head in shame. :-)

edro3111   January 26th, 2012 - 9:48 pm

The contestants were apparently not some of the tens of people who watch her show, huh?

sunnyroberto   January 26th, 2012 - 9:48 pm

I heard the FBI is going to have people from the Witness Protection program get on-air jobs at MSNBC. A great place to hide since nobody watches the channel.

Blastwaz   January 26th, 2012 - 9:49 pm

That wasn't a very good picture. Even her husband wouldn't have recognized her.

Eeriemoon   January 26th, 2012 - 9:51 pm

In fairness it was only because the contestants fell asleep as soon as her picture popped up.

rodger43   January 26th, 2012 - 9:53 pm

They would have identified Rush Limbaugh immediately. But then, Rush Limbaugh has an audience….

pcbigd   January 26th, 2012 - 9:53 pm

A guy who had a difficult time in junior high because his parents gave him a girls name.

GaultFalcon   January 26th, 2012 - 9:54 pm

Ha, ha, ha, ha. And so goes MSNBC.

Motleycroo   January 26th, 2012 - 9:54 pm

An ugly human being inside and out. A person with a vacant morality and depraved intellect. Someone who cheerfully harbors ill will toward others. A person who disparages and vilifies. Tears others down to build herself up. Smarmy & smug, pretentious and cynical. Racist, hateful, bigoted, narrow-minded and self-serving. Uses lies and deceit to advance a corrupt agenda.

The kind of person I can show my children as an example of how to NOT be.

Come to think about it, that pretty well describes Obama too.

Eeriemoon   January 26th, 2012 - 9:58 pm

I wouldn't have admitted that I knew her name either, lest someone accused me of having watched MSDNC.

Eeriemoon   January 26th, 2012 - 9:59 pm

I would have guessed Chris Matthews just for yucks.

GREENPARROT   January 26th, 2012 - 10:04 pm

Don't Ask Don't Know…

afreegreek   January 26th, 2012 - 10:05 pm

they didn't know or wouldn't admit to it?

rata2lee   January 26th, 2012 - 10:07 pm

Who is Chris Hayes?

duzak   January 26th, 2012 - 10:07 pm

— BUZZER!—

"Ralph Macchio!"

BarakObama   January 26th, 2012 - 10:11 pm

Jeopardy is such a liberal game show. They have people who work there living in their liberal bubble thinking the avg. American watches MSNBC. How stupid!!!

That stupiCanadianan host and hiLittlele leftproducersrs are all morons. I stopped watching that show years agRachelcheh Maddow, really?????

Saltire   January 26th, 2012 - 10:12 pm

Isn't that what we would all like to know?

The contestants probably hadn't imbibed he liberal kool-aid.

JamestheFin   January 26th, 2012 - 10:12 pm

It's the kid from Star Trek: The Next Generation. He went and got a sex change and now calls himself Rachel Maddow.

dingchavez   January 26th, 2012 - 10:12 pm

You're why regular Americans hate the Tea Party.

You and your bigoted mind.

BarakObama   January 26th, 2012 - 10:13 pm

Alex, you just lost all the respect anyone ever had for you or your show.

JamestheFin   January 26th, 2012 - 10:16 pm

Actually, I would have said Will Wheaton from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Seriously.

rjcylon   January 26th, 2012 - 10:17 pm

I think when he used the word "newswoman" it threw them off. Maybe "political commentator/ obama footsoldier" would have worked on their memory, but no one watches her show either so keep that in mind.

jdg614   January 26th, 2012 - 10:18 pm

Who is "Ross" from Friends?

Tweety58   January 26th, 2012 - 10:23 pm

A butch carpet munchcer who has a show on PravdaTV that nobody watches.How much do I win.Alex?

drattastic   January 26th, 2012 - 10:28 pm

"Dude looks like a lady" or is it the other way around ?

howardrourk   January 26th, 2012 - 10:28 pm

I am sure her parents are wondering who she is too.

pinkneck   January 26th, 2012 - 10:29 pm

MSNBC = Marxist, Socialists, Nazis, Bolsheviks, Communists

duzak   January 26th, 2012 - 10:34 pm

Rachel Maddow has a peculiar self-imposed problem that most women in journalism don't have to worry about. She's the only one who feels obligated to downplay any accentuation of her looks and dress as plain and un-feminine as possible for fear she'll lack credibility.

TpartyPatroit   January 26th, 2012 - 10:36 pm

lol all that "teabagging" references must have gotten to me.

equivic   January 26th, 2012 - 10:40 pm

I'm sure there were a thousand unemployed couch potatoes that were screaming "RACHAEL MADDOW!!!". Smart people are republicans that watch fox or maybe cnn; not msnbc.

ATVDOC   January 26th, 2012 - 10:42 pm

Saw her picture & made me wonder, what's she going to do for a face when the baboon wants it's ass back?…

PATRIOTSUSA   January 26th, 2012 - 10:45 pm

The elite media (lame street media that is) could give a rip about the middle income people and neither does Obama. We're just puppets and pawns. We might cling to our guns and religion, but guess what, we can also vote their arses out….power to the people.

democratsarefools   January 26th, 2012 - 10:50 pm

Looks like a good enough person, but appearances in this case are soooo deceiving as she is as ugly as any MSNBC Lib.

My TV which has internet conductivity would surely get a virus even with Eset if it somehow found its own way to that oBAMA media..

alwaysright5   January 26th, 2012 - 10:58 pm

She actually looks OK after shaving.

bubbatrunk   January 26th, 2012 - 11:03 pm

What is an angry lesbian has been Alex?

Trippin60   January 26th, 2012 - 11:04 pm

There's hope for us yet America!!

mgvillablanca   January 26th, 2012 - 11:06 pm

Hahaha hilarious quite an embarrassment for the hacks who were trying to promote her show.

86-44   January 26th, 2012 - 11:06 pm

Who?

Motleycroo   January 26th, 2012 - 11:06 pm

That's a bad visual, man.

mgvillablanca   January 26th, 2012 - 11:06 pm

Who is the Bitch from Hell?

StiofanGA   January 26th, 2012 - 11:08 pm

Let me guess, the title of that category was "Animal, Vegetable, Mineral?". No wonder they had no clue.

Jamesb   January 26th, 2012 - 11:13 pm

Hmmm. Adam's apple – check, hair – check… ya, I'm going with Rob Lowe.

jaegov   January 26th, 2012 - 11:19 pm

"It's Pat"!

Narcissist Extremist   January 26th, 2012 - 11:20 pm

What nationality uses "Rachael" for a male's name?

jaegov   January 26th, 2012 - 11:22 pm

I passed Full Throttle through my nose on that one. Too Funny!

jaegov   January 26th, 2012 - 11:24 pm

Flash-blindness more like it.

jaegov   January 26th, 2012 - 11:29 pm

Ask moochelle how long she's willing to lend it out.

Bullonay   January 26th, 2012 - 11:36 pm

Who, or what?

KJinAZ   January 26th, 2012 - 11:39 pm

Why should anyone here care would be a better question.

KJinAZ   January 26th, 2012 - 11:41 pm

It is a very dumb idealist.

sybilll   January 26th, 2012 - 11:42 pm

But, she and her billions of followers are going to boycott Chic-Fil-A, and Lowe's, and Whole Foods, and you will reap the wrath of the power she wields. FFS, even Jeopardy should know that even TVLand has better ratings than MSLSD. Then again it could have been worse. They could have asked which anchor took the mantel to launch CurrentTV.

losarkos   January 26th, 2012 - 11:48 pm

he is quite good looking, and a beard would hide his weak chin.

RanierEast   January 26th, 2012 - 11:48 pm

Even Jeopardy Grand Champion Ken Jennings would have been stumped for the question to the answer: Who is Rachel Maddow?

RanierEast   January 26th, 2012 - 11:50 pm

I was looking to see if someone already said that. you're on point.

houster   January 27th, 2012 - 12:08 am

Funny, but recently, on Jay Leno's Jaywalking segment, several people in the streets of L.A. could correctly identify a photograph of Ronald Reagan.

But I'll bet all three Jeopardy buzzers would have been pushed if they had put up a picture of "Snooki."

ConansTooLong   January 27th, 2012 - 12:09 am

LOL! Engage!

RanierEast   January 27th, 2012 - 12:10 am

or, the MSNBC employee whose most visited the whitehouse.

Tens or tenths?

Ya mean Chaz Bono?

ConansTooLong   January 27th, 2012 - 12:17 am

Tingling!

ConansTooLong   January 27th, 2012 - 12:19 am

ROTFL! I will refer to this post whenever I'm feeling a little down.
