Which venerable quiz show host called out Canadian MPs for merely sticking to their talking points during question period in the House of Commons?

If you guessed “Who is Alex Trebek?,” you’ve just won our pretend round of “Jeopardy!”

Trebek received a warm welcome from the House after he was spotted in the public gallery during question period on Tuesday.

“I’m very proud of the fact that my presence was the only moment in the entire question period in which all of the members seemed to be in agreement,” Trebek quipped to reporters afterward.

He called the recognition from MPs “a great moment,” but lamented what he described as repetitive exchanges in the House.

“It looks like a lot of it is pre-scripted,” he said when asked what he thought about daily question period.

“The questions I see on the members’ sheets on their desks all appear to have come from the same printer, the same font size and it was a bit repetitious at points, because the ministers were having to stand up and say exactly what they had said 10 minutes earlier in response to a … slight variation on that particular subject.”

When asked, he also said he would put question period under the “Saturday Night Live” category on “Jeopardy!”

Trebek was in the nation’s capital to be honoured by his alma mater, the University of Ottawa.

The native of Sudbury, Ont., who became a naturalized American citizen in the 1990s, was also asked to compare Canadian and American politics.

“They're both nasty,” he said.
