I caught Weird Al`s "I Lost on Jeopardy" last week. It indeed was great. The replica of the old set, the lyrics and even Art Flemming and Don Pardo! The cameo by Kihn at the end was also cute. Having heard Weird Al for a long time on Dr. Demento, it`s nice to see him getting some real national exposure. Tom O`Connor

{ You're a complete loser! } Another few amusing pieces of trivia about the "Jeopardy" video: 1. Watch for the cameraman as they begin to drag out Al. Does he look familiar to you? He should. It's Al's old pal "Doctor Demento", looking positively normal. 2. Check out the license plate of the car at the end. -- "It's still Billy Joel to me..." Peter Merchant -- Weird Al

bip. People have mentioned that Don Pardo & Greg Kihn are in the Jeopardy video -- but guess who's manning the camera? Dr. Demento himself. By the way, I thought his first two videos were better, and I still think his original songs (Check's in the Mail, I'll be Mellow When I'm Dead, Gonna Buy Me a Condo) are better than his satires. -Glenn

Dr. Demento is also in Wierd Al's "I Love Rocky Road" video as the cashier.
