It Turns Out Jeopardy Host Alex Trebek Isn’t the Biggest Fan of the Phanatic

Jeopardy has been home to some great moments regarding Philadelphia sports in the past.

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.
