    No. Just insist they put a new host on for a little while until you're desperate to have Alex back.

       (((You realize that the producers of the show are negotiating a deal with my talent agent and my publicist for me to take over the show once ol' Alex is done, right?  They're just haggling over the dollar amount and the numerous sandwich clauses.  Stay tuned, I expect to appear some day soon.)))

    Triple parentheses or triple brackets, also known as an (((echo))), are an antisemitic symbol that has been used to highlight the names of individuals of a Jewish background, or organizations who are thought to be owned by Jewish people.

    I didn't know Alex was Jewish or that you were antisemitic.  I have to assume you knew the meaning of (((  ))) since your a linguistics guy.

    Right, You're.  Anyway, don't boycott the show.  Think of all the information you'd be missing out on just over a silly error.

      No, he’s on a two-week break while the Teacher’s Tournament is on.

    Are you aware he has stage 4 pancreatic cancer?  That may be about as bad of a diagnosis as a person could get other than  glioblastoma.   Give him a break.

    He needs to be punished for that!  His punishment shall be being chained to a TV announcer who says every town name the Spanish way even when it's not a Spanish name!
