Who doesn’t remember S. R. Sidarth, the young man whose recording of then-Senator George Allen brought the word “macaca” into the consciousness of every Virginian in 2006 and brought down the Senator’s re-election campaign?
Apparently, Alex Trebek 
Last night, the older, clean shaven Sidarth appeared on Jeopardy, the long-running trivia game show. I caught the show, thanks to a Tweet from someone. In the brief interview process, no mention of his 15 minutes of fame came up. Instead, as Julian Walker reports, Sidarth and Trebek spoke about his trip with his mother on a yak.
While Sidarth didn’t win, he did OK, finishing in second place. (Can’t believe all the contestants, plus me, thought the final Jeopardy answer was Mr. Potato Head 
)
“Jim Webb” was the answer, instead?

His 15 minutes are definitely up 
Posted by vjp | Tuesday, December 8, 2009, 5:33 pmAdd a fifth person who wrote down “Mr. Potato Head”.
And I was oh-so-confident, too.
Posted by SouthsideCentral | Tuesday, December 8, 2009, 8:05 pmYeah, me, too
But I have an excuse: I never played with G.I. Joe
