No Jeopardy contender has been so polarizing, so incensing and having a name so reminiscent of an Archie comic character as Buzzy Cohen.
For the most part, when a hopeful has a triumphant streak on Jeopardy, droves of Internet fans leave the woodwork to support them. They're seen as an everyman (or lady), a people legend, a phoenix ascending from the powder of lack of definition to take home the huge prize (and possibly a bit of Alex Trebek's mustache, RIP).
This is not the situation with Buzzy.
Buzzy, who has had an eight-day winning streak on the appear, is an independent recording official living in Los Angeles. He wears thin ties and in vogue, round glasses. He has impeccably coiffed hair that helps you to remember Pete Cambell in Mad Men.
Much the same as Pete, we both love and loathe Buzzy at precisely the same. Maybe Buzzy's greatest characteristic is that he has a particular affection for witty jests and jokes with Alex Trebek.
Pretty much as Alex notice in the video (over), its like he's Sean Connery in SNL's Celebrity Jeopardy.
Buzzy's grandiloquent identity has separated the Internet between individuals who need to wed him and individuals who simply need to punch him in the face. Then again, even, individuals who need to do both.

If you don't mind please give this a chance to be the night somebody takes out Buzzy Cohen. Practically as punchable a face as Ted Cruz, and similarly self-satisfied. #jeopardy

Shockingly, he's not doing anything basically to bother us.
"The thing that individuals don't understand is that, when I went into my tryout, the one thing that the candidate organizer said was, 'It's a diversion show — have a ton of fun.' So that is what I'm doing," he told The Wrap.
That is reasonable, Buzzy. You do you.
Until somebody deposes him, he is at present our Jeopardy lord. So we should proceed, for better or in negative ways.
