Education Sec. loses to Laverne's Lenny

quote[Education Secretary Margaret Spellings says she studied hard to prepare for Tuesday night's airing of "Celebrity Jeopardy!"

"I didn't want to be the Education Secretary who didn't know how to spell potato," Spellings joked, describing how she read books and sought advice from a former show contender and her daughters.

In the end, Spellings said she thinks the effort was worth it. She came in second behind the actor Michael McKean, best known for his role as 'Lenny' on the television show "Laverne and Shirley" and for the movie "This Is Spinal Tap."]

I saw this last night and, even though the questions are dumbed down for "celebrities," Mike McKean mopped the floor with the others.

I think he could really compete in a regular Jeopardy! game (unlike Paul Shaffer, who was a complete idiot the day before).
