Seriously, he can be pompous as hell, but I love the show.

I also like the SNL riff on the show....

It's the only non news or sports show that I must see.
It would be fun to have him as a contestant one day. I don't find him pompous just corny as hell - his jokes suck.

I remember when I was a kid, they used to write the answers to Final Jeopardy on little chalk boards, or at least they looked like chalk boards. They would turn them over then hold them up.
