Ep 33: Paul Burke with Will Ferrell’s Alex Trebek

This guest is the episode of this episode. Answer- Not Turd Ferguson. The real answer is Paul Burke. Paul is an actor, improviser, director and teacher at the Blacktop Theater based out of the Sacramento area. Will Ferrell’s subtle actions and incredible reactions as the beloved host of Jeopardy make this a truly unique character examination. Paul breaks down the speed of Jeopardy, the joy in watching Tom Hanks play a dumb Tom Hanks, and the power of improv to build a community. This episode was a real treat for people who are interested in learning about having an objective in a scene or people who want to remember the great foil known as Sir Sean Connery.

“It’s not about him. Which I think is so incredible.” ~ Paul
