Patricia Heaton, of "Everybody Loves Raymond," is one of the dumbest people I've ever seen on a tv show. She was on the nighttime version of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" (with the obnoxious Regis Philbin instead of daytime host, likeable Meredith Vierra) to answer one question for charity:
"If a Euro is worth $1.50, and you have 5 Euros, what is that in American coins?"
A. 40 Quarters. B. 50 Dimes. C. 70 Nickles. D. 90 Pennies.
Here's how the conversation went.
Heaton: I can't do math. I went to Ohio State. This is an impossible question. How can you do this to me, Rege?
Philbin: Just figure it out. If one Euro is $1.50, how much is 5 Euros?
Heaton: I told you I'm no good at math.
It went on and on, with Philbin coaching her. How many pennies in a dollar? How many dimes? Etc., etc. It was embarrassing. She finally got the multiple guess answer after Philbin eliminated the other 3 answers for her.
She's not good looking enough to be that dumb. At least Kelly Pickerel, who was incredibly stupid on "5th Grader", is nice to look at while she's dumbing down the world.
It was a good charity and I'm glad they got the money.
BTW, earlier she had mentioned that she thought Midwesterners, like her, were smarter than folks on either coast.
I think Midwesterners should excommunicate her.
Ohio State should demand their diploma back. We know they are pretend for football players, but not for drama students. |
