Jeopardy has been home to some great moments regarding Philadelphia sports in the past. Alex Trebek is a Phillie Phanatic hater pic.twitter.com/b2m2Wxz2mq We’ll take “how could you” for $2000, Alex. https://t.co/ZRnmZ1CL9V What does Alex Trebek have against the Philly Phanatic? #Jeopardy pic.twitter.com/vIi8vVNLDG BREAKING NEWS: Alex Trebek: "I'm not a big fan of the Phillie Phanatic" @Jeopardy Alex Trebek says he's not a fan of the @Phillies Phillie Phanatic? I'm not sure I can watch Jeopardy ever again.
I wish this was another one of these moments ... but it's not.
It turns out, the show's host host Alex Trebek isn't a big fan of the Phillie Phanatic ... I know, I'm hurt too.
The Phillies are in disbelief, we all are.
Of course, fans had quite the reaction to the video that surfaced on social media. After all, the Phanatic is the best mascot in all of sports (totally unbiased, of course).
I think he then said he liked the team. I'll have to rewind. Stunning.#Jeopardy #Philly#Phillies
I don't even want to know what he thinks about Gritty.
