VCR? What's that? I was just going to point a KODAK Zoom 8 Reflex at the TV.

At least they got it over quickly for those just barely curious...Is that meant to be quirky charm?
Does Ken drink? Or was that anything for a laugh? (Hey, if he can obsess about David's religious practice I can wonder about his...)

He stated during his original run that he studied potent potables because he didn't drink.

Re: Set your VCRs: Ken Jennings on Call Me Kat tonight!
There was a category recently about mixed drinks with Ken as the bartender that didn't contain alcohol. I don't know if he actually said it but the implication was that he still doesn't drink.davey wrote: ↑Thu Sep 29, 2022 10:36 pmSure. People can change in 18 years...He's in show business now! And he wasn't being irritated in first class much back then, I'm sure...

Re: Set your VCRs: Ken Jennings on Call Me Kat tonight!
They've talked about it on his podcast fairly recently. My recollection is that he may have had a few accidental sips of something he was told was virgin over the course of his lifetime, but other than those rare and unwanted occasions, he's still in the teetotalers' club. I didn't see the Kat episode. Was the drink explained? Or was it just that a drink was sitting there as a prop during the scene?

Spoiler
No. He was seated next to "Kat" in first class, who wouldn't shut up about meeting him (You're my favorite host!) and her own trip. She ignored his entreaties to be left alone. He was sipping from a drink and asked the attendant for another. As Kat blathered on, he shouted down the aisle And keep em coming! The scene ended with him seeking a seat in coach.
Lame, standard jokes. I suppose he could have been drinking caffeinated tea, a milder transgression. That might have been funny!

Forget the fact that he was ordering and imbibing spirited beverages--he gave back a glass from which he had taken all of one sip! I just can't see Ken as being so profligate!

I'll bet you didn't know VHS stands for video home system
I'd rather cuddle then have sex. If you're into grammar, you'll understand.
