Wolf Blitzer got a B.A. in history from the University of Buffalo, and then he got his Masters in international relations from the John Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies and worked for the Jerusalem Post for over 15 years. And he has been a reporter for CNN since 1990. He has had several hosting gigs on CNN and currently hosts The Situation Room. So, naturally, you would assume that he would kill on Celebrity Jeopardy.
Well, that couldn't be farther from the truth.
Comedian Andy Richter, known best for once being the sidekick and currently being the announcer for Conan O'Brien and two funny but canceled shows (as well as small parts in movies and guest spots on shows) was a film major at Columbia College Chicago and he dominated the crap out of Blitzer.
Going into Final Jeopardy, Richter had $39,000 and Wolf Blitzer had -$4,600. The other contestant Dana Delany (currently starring on Desperate Housewives) had $4,800. They had to actually erase Wolf Blitzer's score and give him $1,000 just so he could play the final round. Yes, this is how Wolf Blitzer did, even though he has won distinguished awards for covering major events over the last two decades.
Andy Richter ended with $68,000 and Wolf Blitzer...well, let's just watch an old video instead:
