<\/a>First of all, tomorrow is Veteran\u2019s Day, which I have rarely celebrated here in INAM<\/em>. There\u2019s never much new to say about the occasion, so, shamefully, I usually neglect to honor it. But this year, with so much political angst, I figured this is the appropriate time. So, even though the day is not getting its own full column from me, please spare a thought for our veterans tomorrow, and every<\/em> day, actually. And also please keep in mind that Veteran\u2019s Day is far from being just about sales and deals!<\/p>\nSecondly, I want to pay tribute to Alex Trebek. I really do feel awful that the Jeopardy<\/em> host lost his cancer battle on Sunday, after putting up such a valiant fight, and working until the bitter end. (He worked until the end of October, and those episodes will air until Christmas. That\u2019s pretty amazing.) Even though many viewers seem to erroneously think that all the knowledge imparted by the show is actually from the mind of Mr. Trebek, rather the writers, I did<\/em> admire his mainly flawless reading of the answers, especially his keen pronunciations. He\u2019s already missed. And my heart goes out to his family, who shared him with the public for so long.<\/p>\n Photo by Karen Salkin, (from TV.)<\/p><\/div>\n Alex\u2019s departure from this level of life would give me the future of\u00a0Jeopardy<\/em>\u00a0as yet another subject possibility today. I think Ken Jennings is the frontrunner to take over in the new year.\u00a0\u00a0He\u2019s the obvious choice, and was recently hired by the show for a non-specific job, which was a tad suspicious from the get-go. I\u2019d be happy to have someone who really<\/em> knows all the answers to be the host, but it\u2019s hard to listen to Ken\u2019s lisp. So, Ken\u2014please start trying to get rid of it right this second! [Note: My father was a Speech Chairman and gave private speech lessons; I saw him help remedy many a lisp. So it can be done with just a small amount of work. If you have one, start pronouncing \u201csnake\u201d correctly right now, as a start.] (And please remember that you read the Ken Jennings idea here first.)<\/p>\n Finishing-up that topic, it appears that both George Stephanopoulos and Ben Mankiewicz are vying for the job, but the easiest transition for everyone concerned, especially the viewers, would Ken. (Just please remember that you read the Ken Jennings idea here first.)<\/p>\n Both of my main susupects in Episode 3 of The Undoing.<\/p><\/div>\n Penultimately, this week-end also brought us Episode 3 of\u00a0The Undoing<\/em>, my obsession with which I revealed in Friday\u2019s column, (which you can read here: itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/televisionkarens-thoughts-the-undoing<\/a>.) So many more clues were revealed on Sunday night. But it would take me another<\/em> two thousand words to sum it all up for you!<\/p>\n So all those topics will have to wait until a later date because the one that won-out for the space today is\u2014drumroll, please\u2014the victory of Joe Biden! And for all<\/em> Americans, actually. (Of course<\/em> that\u2019s my main focus for this week!)<\/p>\n The best thing I’ve seen all year–seventy-seven-year-old Joe Biden jogging out to the podium to give his President-Elect speech! Photo by Karen Salkin.<\/p><\/div>\n Our four-year-long national nightmare is finally over! I don\u2019t remember ever seeing soooo many people be excited and relieved at the same time ever before in my entire life. They were literally dancing in the streets. I suspect that more than one person felt that waking-up on Saturday morning and seeing the great news that Joe Biden is our next President felt like witnessing The Wizard of Oz<\/em> change from black-and-white to color!!!<\/p>\n To those of you who may not love, love, love Joe Biden, it\u2019s okay. He doesn\u2019t have to be your fave. But he is very intelligent, fair, and caring, and will lead us well. And more than anything, his win is getting us out of the demonic clutches of Orange Hitler, and that\u2019s beyond an excellent thing.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a><\/a>
