Oh dear, Wolf Blitzer may know the news, but his trivia skills need some serious polishing. The host of CNN’s Situation Room had trouble answering a number of basic questions on an episode of Celebrity Jeopardy! on Thursday, landing at a score of negative $4,600 by the end of Double Jeopardy.

In a scene reminiscent of an SNL parody, Wolf failed to identify a photograph of penne pasta, didn’t know King David and Jesus Christ hailed from Nazareth, and he fumbled over a question on 1850s economics. The political journalist struggled to identify the term used to refer to an accused person and their counsel in court — the defense.

Andy Richter, on the other hand, did great! The Tonight Show sidekick won the show, earning $68,000 for the St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. Even Desperate Housewives actress Dana Delany made out well, finishing in second place.

As a good will gesture, Jeopardy! producer presented Wolf and Dana with $25,000 for their chosen charities, the American Cancer Society and the Scleroderma Research Foundation, respectively.
