NT1010's John Moore Relives His Infamous Jeopardy! Loss In Print

I've never been able to find the Jeopardy! episode on YouTube where CFRB morning man John Moore so infamously lost (never making it to the final round.) But after he talked about the experience yet again on Wednesday, I did manage to locate this National Post piece he penned about what happened.

He missed a number of questions, but the one that sticks in his craw the most may be this one. From Feb. 2006:

"The nadir of this dismal performance came with the unveiling of a clue about Montreal, where I was born and raised. While Alex intoned the words, I sped read through them, spotting two original but arcane names for Laval Island (Ile Jesus and Ile Marie). This one, I knew. I clicked in.

"What is Laval?" I said with authority.

"No," replied Alex. "What is the St. Lawrence River?"

I wasn't only getting the answers wrong, I wasn't even getting the questions right."
