Joe Biden, 'Jeopardy!' Join Forces For Teen Tournament

Joe Biden Jeopardy

Vice President Joe Biden will appear on the legendary game show "Jeopardy!" on Wednesday night, doing a job normally reserved for longtime host Alex Trebek.

Politico reports that Biden will be reading clues on "the history and importance of the automobile in America," a topic that any Onion reader knows is near and dear to the vice president's heart.

Biden taped the segment last month during a "Teen Tournament" filming at Washington, D.C.'s DAR Constitution Hall.

It's been rumored that Trebek has been considering retiring from the show after nearly 30 years. Forget the rumors of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Biden swapping positions -- could Biden and Trebek be preparing for a role reversal? We're reluctantly guessing no.

Trebek's Canadian so it probably wasn't happening to begin with. :)

when did speaking one mind become a gaff? Only in GOP land is naked truth a mistake.

He has managed to put his foot in his mouth a few times. That doesn't mean that I disagree with him.

It was a gaffe because the team did not want this distraction, quite a few evangelicals will not vote for him on this one issue. Not what they want at this point.
