Last year Mr. Trebek served as moderator for a televised debate between PA candidates for governor. I didn't watch, but the poor guy was roundly criticized for his moderating effort. He said he wanted to have a more conversational tone in the debate, but according to the criticism, Mr. Trebek was doing most of the talking. I guess moderating debates is not one of Mr. Trebek's skills. That's ok. He is excels as a game show host.
