CEDAR COTTAGE, Vancouver, August 7, 2008. Local trivia celebrity Jeeves (real nickname Dirty Al) is desperately clinging to the moment of fame he earned back on July 24, 2008, when he was number one in the "world" in NTN trivia's Wipeout(tm) game. "I'm still buzzing from my number one spot two weeks ago," mused Jeeves in between sips of micro-brewed beer, sitting in the Cedar Cottage Pub almost in the same spot as he sat for the legendary win. Some observers see this as vindication for Jeeves' devastating loss on Jeopardy years earlier, which he never really got over. "It all came down to knowing two of the four countries surrounding Zimbabwe," sighed Jeeves, looking wistfully down at the foam of his beer. Before the Jeopardy appearance, Jeeves had a lot of curly hair, but now has very little. Close friends say that is not just a coincidence.
Meanwhile, the SHARK and Volley, two of Jeeves' NTN rivals are quick to point out that Jeeves only had 173 points in the next game after the big "number one" game.
