"Weird Al" Yankovic - I Lost On Jeopardy (Official Video)

I Lost on Jeopardy features Yankovic posing as a contestant on Jeopardy!. His contestants are a plumber, Mr. Leroy Finkelstein from Brooklyn, New York and an architect Mr. Millard Snofgen who happens to be Al's brother from Carbondale, Illinois, both with a Ph.D. The board contains a series of befuddling and nearly-impossible clues from these categories: "T.V. Themes", "Nuclear Physics", "World Geography", "Food", "Potpourri", and finally, "Famous Accordion Players." Although the other contestants manage to get their questions right, Yankovic misses every clue, finishing with a score of -$6,750 and proceeding to give up. Embarrassed but undaunted, Yankovic hopes his luck will change "next weekend on The Price Is Right," and is literally thrown out from the studio and later into an Alfa Romeo convertible driven by Greg Kihn himself, with a license plate readin "LOSER." Kihn described the car as "a vintage sports car to approximate the one I drove in the original 'Jeopardy' video." The video also features appearances from a pair of Jeopardy! alumni - original host Art Fleming and announcer Don Pardo - as well as Dr. Demento as a cameraman.
