David Duchovny did a clue in a game this week.

I'd like to see a celebrity never ever give another clue, unless the clue is them standing there and saying, "Who am I?"

Saturday Night Live did a game show sketch twice this past season with a similar theme called "What's My Name?", where contestants had to identify low-level celebrities, as well as other people such as a doorman, a cleaning lady, interns, and former one-night stands.

I nominate Tom Baker, Christopher Eccleston, David Tennant, and/or Matt Smith. Dunno what the clue should be, but the response, in the form of a question, would be "Who?"

I'll take Celebrity Stupid Answers for $600 please.

If it was Monday or Tuesday, I missed it.

I think it was Tuesday. In fact, I'm pretty sure it was.

In replacement to Duchovny, I have a better question. Does Brad Rutter qualify as celebrity yet?

Zooey Deschanel. I don't care if she's an Oprah-esque reader...I'll be too busy staring deeply into her eyes.

Don't call him "Stupid"!

I'd nominate Marcel Marceau, if he were still alive.

David Bowie!
I don't believe he has given a clue yet.

Pope Benedict XVI.

Or, for that matter, an entire category of religious leaders giving clues from their particular creeds: His Holiness the Dalai Lama, LDS President Thomas S. Monson, Louis Farrakhan, Archbishop Rowan Williams.

I wouldn't mind more clues from the "Pan Am" cast! ("Obvious" reason aside, they did all also seem to read the very long clues quickly and clearly...)

Rush Limbaugh

But then the clue would be hostile and the answer (question, I know...) would be completely made up and wrong.

Would they even allow Pope Benedict XVI? I could maybe see the Dalai Lama, can definitely see Farrakhan.

Louis Farrakhan is far, FAR too controversial for this show. Would never happen in a million years.

Not sure why the Dalai Lama and Farrakhan would make it to the exclusion of BXVI. Why specifically do you suggest that he might be excluded?

I agree 100% on him being controversial. I was casting about looking for a widely-recognizable Muslim leader, and he came to mind first.

I also recognize that my suggested list leans heavily toward Christian leaders, but that's simply a lack of familiarity on my part with "headliner" leaders from other faith traditions. For a celebrity clue to work, the "celebrity" can't spend a disproportionate amount of time explaining *who* they are before they get to posing the actual clue without really slowing the game down.

Also due to the fact that many religions don't have a "headliner" leader like the Pope or the Dalai Lama. Heck, even most Christian denominations don't have one, at least not one that is to their religion what the Pope is to Catholicism.

"And here to give a clue about atheism ... nobody!"

(Settle down, atheists, merely humour.)

Wolf Blitzer, but only with the right clue. The clues they let him give last year were no fun. I'm thinking a category called "Jeopardy! Records" would be perfect. Various Jeopardy! record holders, including Wolf, could give clues about what they hold the record for. Maybe the first half of the clue could be read by Wolf, wrongly, and Andy Richter could interrupt to set him straight.

In the same category, a tag team reading by the three contestants in the only three-way tie would be great.

Have they ever even done a meta-Jeopardy! category?
