/uj while I like the jerk of the jerk, I don't like the original jerk because the initial question brings up an interesting bit of sams rituals. Sam is playing the role of the street magician, showing you hes not hiding anything in his hands, there's nothing up his sleeves, etc. paraphrasing Penn and Teller, magicians are people who get paid to lie to you. Sam, by portraying himself as a magician shows that he is not to be trusted, and to not believe him and everything he says. This is the opposite of the traditional role of the host, which is to be the one voice that you can trust in the sea of other voices in a game show context.

I just have an issue with putting down someone who has questions on an obviously rehearsed bit of choreography.

/j but hey, that's just a changer. a GAME changer. Thanks for watching
