I Lost on Jeopardy Video

People keep telling me that Charles Rocket (the recently deceased SNL-er) played that one contestant in the "I Lost On Jeopardy" video. I watched that video, and it looks nothing like him at all, but people are still saying that.

So settle a bet - who played the skinny guy with glasses??

That was Greg Kihn.

At the beginning of the video? I don't think so. We don't see Greg until the very end.

Dave? Greg? Anybody?

He's referring to the guy playing the architect contestant. Can someone supply a screen grab so we can compare?

Hmm, I would need to watch it again, but I'm pretty sure that's not Charles Rocket in the video, although there are a few similarities.

Marty's site has a screen capture that, while a bit blurry, gives one a pretty good look at the contestant in question. The contestant's face seems to be a bit rounder than Charles's, but to be fair that could just be due to the angle.

I haven't seen the video in a while, but is Eric Lutz the person in question?

according to hit credits, he's the guy

Yeah, if it had been Charles Rocket then I'm sure Al would have mentioned it at some point.

Oh, OK. I thought I was losing my mind for a second :-) It came up so much on various forums that I started to wonder...

I've actually seen you over at the saturday-night-live.com forums but haven't seen any Weird Al mentions in any of the (now many) Charles Rocket topics.
