I doubt it. Jeff does vary the order of the introductions from time to time.Rosemary Roberts wrote:I noticed that Jerry got introduced first today, with an extra big build-up, instead of standing in line behind Rachel and the candidates as usual.

I was only paying semi-attention at the time, but it sounded to me like he repeated 'anti-Semitic' when he needed to say 'anti-emitics' ?Phil Reynolds wrote:I'm enjoying Jerry's appearances on the show, especially his dry wit (the "anti-Semitic" line was a gem)
No. Susie pointed out that "Semitic" wasn't allowed as it's capitalised.
